Thanks for getting back to me.  The program is basically a gigantic
data base browser. Usaually around 1 to 20 Gigaflops are required to
convert the data from its stored form to something that can be rendered
each time you click on one of the(X/Motif-Windows) sort/find/manipulate
buttons. The code itself could easily be ported to or rewritten for a
MAC. The MAC has no where near the memory of CPU power for porting to
be a viable option.  What I need to do is remote display the rendered
data.

My problem is to make this 3-D database visualization available to our
customers via remote logins.  The code curently works great for the
remote platform with OpenGL extension to the X-server/emulator.
