<p>Chris,</p>
<p>You're welcomed! The history behind DrawBDL was that I got tired
of drawing little sketches on paper to visualize what a model
looked like, and wrote a little program that read the coordinates
and turned it into an input file for a Unix-based sketching
program at the Lab (TELLEGRAF). I then showed it to a programmer
friend who said he'd try turning it into a PC program using Turbo
Pascal. In 3 weeks time he had a working prototype, but being a
real computer programmer Jim said that we were only half done. So
true that was!</p>
<p>One reason for the gaudy primary colors for the surfaces was that
Jim was concerned about what graphics processors people had on
their PCs and so stuck with 16-bit color. PCs were so limited in
power then that when I went to DOE in the early 90's and demo'd
DrawBDL on somebody's PC there, the drawing was so slow (blink !
another window! ) that I stopped the demo to avoid losing the
audience.</p>
<p>Those were the days.</p>
<p>Joe<br>

still program my text editor to use the Brief keystroke

<p>Wow, has it been twenty years already? It doesn't feel like
it. I still remember a time back then when there was an
informal meeting about the future of building energy
simulation programs at the ACEEE Conference, probably in the
late 80's or early 90's. Jeff Haberl looked at me and said
that the DOE-2 Group should have a Home Page. I looked back
at Jeff and asked, "what's a 'home page'" ?<o:p></o:p></p>
