Abstract :
In 1990, MFITD and MFITPLAY, programs used by users when running fusion plasma experiments, were converted from User Interface Services (UIS) routines to DECs X Windows System using the DECWindows window manager. These modifications were required because of a move by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) to support X windows and phase out UIS. Due to the nature and purpose of each program, MFITD needed only simple graphics conversion while MFITPLAY was completely rewritten. The DECWindows version of MFITPLAY offers a number of improvements, such as a more intuitive user interface
