VOGLE_BIN containts the vogle binaries on several unix platforms
The font directories must be copies to /tmp

-----------
The directories in the vogle directory contain the source for the VOGLE library.

They are as follows:

        docs            contains the documentation such as there is.

        drivers         contains the source to a variety of device drivers,
                        currently restricted to: postscript, sun workstation, 
                        apollo workstations, X11 (R4 & R5), tektronix 
                        (401x), hpgl, dxy, and the ibm pc cards: hercules mono,
                        cga, ega, vga and sigma, MS-windows and HP graphics
                        terminals..

        examples        contains some C and FORTRAN programs useful both in
                        testing and (hopefully) learning how to use it.

        hershey         contains the source for generating fonts and the
                        hershey data for the occidental and oriental character
                        sets.

        src             contains the source for the C VOGLE interface, and the 
                        source for the FORTRAN and PASCAL interfaces where 
                        available.

VOGLE is a device portable graphics library that is loosely based on the
Silicon Graphics Iris GL.  It was also inspired partly by the DIGS library 
developed at the U.S. Naval Academy under the guidance of Prof David Rogers.

As we will be continuing development on VOGLE we will gratefully accept any
bug fixes or enhancements such as new drivers, etc... People here mainly use it
to move engineering type software between IBM PCs and Sun workstations but we
expect not only our equipment, but our requirements to change, so if you find
it usefull for anything in particular we wouldn't mind hearing from you as
well.

VOGLE has been used by others as the basis of several Silicon Graphics GL
compatible libraries. The authors of VOGLE have also produced a GL compatible
library called VOGL (Very Ordinary GL). This library should be available at
the same site that you obtained VOGLE.

This software is public domain and may be used for any purpose commercial or
otherwise. It is offered without any guarantee as to its suitability for any
purpose or as to the sanity of its writers. We do ask that the source is
passed on to anyone that requests a copy, and that people who get copies don't
go round claiming they wrote it.

Although VOGLE is public domain we will drink any quantity of Beer you send to
us.
