                      3: There is device dependent code for the Apollo, Integrated Solutions,
                      4: and IBM RT/PC displays.  The Sun implementation has been improved,
                      5: but is not yet complete.  The IBM RT/PC implementation has a
                      6: reasonably complete implementation which could be used to fill out
                      7: the Sun graphics implementation, but we had no manpower to do so.
                      8:
