Desc.:      XMTV is an X/Motif-based graphics client/server package that
            emulates a frame buffer.  It is implemented on top of LAM, a UNIX
            cluster computing environment.  It provides an easy to use, low
            cost alternative for run-time visualization of computation results.
            The XMTV client library can be used by MPI (and PVM) applications
            under LAM, from C and Fortran.  It provides a simple interface to
            plot coloured data frames.  The XMTV server can be run on any node
            in the multicomputer.  The graphics calls locate and direct their
            requests to the proper destination.
