IBM has gone to Silicon Graphics Inc, Mountain View for its Iris graphics boards, and will also take a licences for the Iris Graphics Library – presumably for use on the RT and 370 machines. Silicon Graphics, which also has a major OEM agreement with Control Data, looks for the IBM agreement to encourage software developers to write new applications that interface to the Iris Graphics Library.
