I have updated the plotting/data visualization application Tecplot on
Athena to release 7.5 for all platforms. To run it now, do "add
tecplot; tecplot -ver 7.5" at the Athena prompt. It will replace the
prior 7.0 release as the Athena default during IAP in January,
1999. We plan to overlap both releases until at least Summer 1999.
To run demos and get an overview of new features, do "rundemo -ver 7.5"
after adding the tecplot locker.
A new feature of this release is that the complete User's Manual and
Reference Manual are available online, in Adobe Acrobat format,
in files /mit/tecplot_v7.5/distrib/doc/75rm.pdf and
/mit/tecplot_v7.5/distrib/doc/75um.pdf respectively.
IMPORTANT: if data files created by release 7 or earlier are opened in
version 7.5, they will be automatically converted to a new, incompatible
format. if these converted files are resaved from within Tecplot 7.5,
they will not be readable by Tecplot 7.
