software emulation of a spectral dynamics display (NeXtMidas and X-Midas)

X-Midas:
<SAMPLES>  Number of samples in the input sine wave [DEF=10e6]
<PORT>     Local Port [DEF=9000]
<REMOTE>   Remote host:port [DEF=LOCALHOST:9002]

NeXtMidas:
<SAMPLES>  Number of samples in the input sine wave
<FORMAT>   Format (SF|CF|SI|CI) [DEF=SF]

This command is not really an SD350 emulator but is simply the name given to
the first official NeXtMidas demo of a piped macro.  It is used regularly to
test the operational readiness of the PIPE system.  It contains many
meaningless features that were added to test all flavors of the graphics and
controls widgets.

The /SERVER and /CLIENT switches can be used to split the macro into a server
and client to test the RMIF primitive across a network. If neither /SERVER or
/CLIENT are specified, the macro runs in standalone mode.

NOTE: For UNIX an entry in /etc/hosts is required as follows:
          127.0.0.1         localhost
      this entry should be in the hosts file when your OS is installed but if
      it is not you may get a warning like:
          WARNING: Failed openRemote for {ID="XM",HP="LOCALHOST:9000"}

Switches:
  /SERVER=port       Run macro as an application server using RMIF on named
                     port (def=9000)
  /CLIENT=port       Run macro as an application client using RMIF on named
                     port (def=9002)
  /REMOTE=host:port  Name of remote server to connect to (def=localhost:9000)

  NeXtMidas Only Switches:
  /JSETUP            Use the SD360.class (Swing) as a setup.  May need to do
                     'bld sd360.java mcr sys' first.

  X-Midas Only Switches:
  /NMPLOT            Plots the raster using the NeXtMidas PLOT primitive. (Only
                     works in standalone mode.)
