     SAOimage is a public domain pseudocolor display program written 
by Mike Van Hilst which runs under X Window.
Until recently there wasn't an easy way to communicate with it 
from a standalone program.  I have written a set of modules in FORTRAN which
allow a programmer to send two-dimensional images to it and control the
color look-up table.  One can also send various kinds of cursors and read back
the cursor coordinates.  More than one image can be loaded at one time with
the cursor coordinates being correct for each image.  If several images are
sent in succession, slow video can be simulated.  The software has also been 
interfaced with the MIIPS plot package, allowing plotting in color.
     The complete source code, execute image, and several demonstration
programs are available via anonymous ftp from vms.ucc.okstate.edu.  Interested
programmers should read the file SAO_INSTRUCTIONS.TXT in directory
DUA4:[MIIPS.DISPLAY] and follow the directions therein.  Questions can be
addressed to me at U6233AA@vms.ucc.okstate.edu.  Further details appear
in the February issue of the Publications of the Astronomical Society of the 
Pacific.
