VOXBLAST PC.
Voxblast is a volume rendering application currently 
marketed by Vaytek Inc.  This Extended DOS application 
is accompanied by an assortment of image manipulation 
tools.  I ported the volume rendering library from an 
Unix environment.  I developed a Motif-like Graphics 
User Interface in C++ as a common environment for all 
of the tools.  Vaytek and Image Analysis Facility is 
now using this interface for other applications.(C++, 
C).
