SGI functionality - Can I do on a PI what I can on a Mac?

[Brent L. Bates AAD/TAB MS361 x42854]

   Your requirements don't sound very tough to fill.  If you can do it
on a Mac you should be able to do it on a real computer.  There are
many plotting packages out there for SGI's, some are free.
We use some Ames software: PLOT3D, SURF, GAS, FAST (FAST is new and
still in Beta release).  We also have TECPLOT.  TECPLOT is slower than
the Ames software and cost bucks, but it can do a few things PLOT3D,
SURF, and GAS can't do.  You can "cut-and-paste" between windows on
an SGI.  Although, that technique sounds a little slow if you are
trying to plot a lot of points.
