[ REQ 5136]: XGeomview version 1.5

[waterman at math.niu.edu]

We recently installed the new X version of Geomview and note:

1] It appears that you have not fixed the bug that Geomview uses
 short ints (2 bytes) to represent the header information
of the VECT object internally, limiting VECTs to at most
32768 vertices.
 (We can get around this but it would be nicer not to have to).

2]The old bbox has been removed from the distribution but was not replaced
with the new addbbox which Stuart Levy was good enough to write.
We have re-installed it but think it should be part of the main distribution.

Overall it is a great package.

Regards,
Peter Waterman.
