NAME

       gopks - opens the GKS package

SYNOPSIS

       CALL GOPKS (ERRFIL, BUFA)

C-BINDING SYNOPSIS

       #include <ncarg/gks.h>

       void gopen_gks(const char *err_file, size_t mem_unit);

DESCRIPTION

       ERRFIL      (Input,  Integer)  - The Fortran unit number to which error messages are to be
                   written.  Typically this should be unit 6.

       BUFA        (Input, Integer) - The dimension of an internal  buffer.   Currently  in  NCAR
                   GKS-0A, BUFA is ignored.

USAGE

       To  get  output  to  any workstation, GOPKS, GOPWK and GACWK must be called in that order.
       For jobs producing only CGM output, the three calls to  GOPKS,  GOPWK  and  GACWK  can  be
       replaced with a call to the SPPS function OPNGKS.

ACCESS

       To use GKS routines, load the NCAR GKS-0A library ncarg_gks.
