Port the JGOFS serving software to the Macintosh and PC/Windows environment. (10/2/1995)

It would be handy to have customized scripts that the user can submit that control plotting - whether it be just field names or things like multiple plots per page. Perhaps we should aim towards that: operations the user requests will result in scripts that can be brought back and saved. A procedure for submitting scripts would also be available. "Fullplot" has that option in a limited kind of way. Perhaps JAVA is really a way to do this kind of thing - plots would be generated on the user end and a plot applet could allow a script the user could construct and save. GF: (2/16/1996)
