+UNIX IRAF/FIO device driver for the IIS Model 75
+2 Feb 1896 Dct.; ported to UNIX from VMS 10 Mar 1987 SRo.
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+This directory contains the IRAF/FIO driver subroutines for the IIS Model 75
+image display. This directory is self contained.
+
+The model 75 interface is implemented as a transformation on the data stream
+for the model 70. The high level code thinks that it is talking to a model
+70; we translate the headers as necessary for the model 75 before passing
+them on to the device. This approach does not provide full access to the
+capabilities of the model 75, however the existing high level code is all
+written for the model 70 and we are not at present interested in the advanced
+features of either display.
+
+
+Driver Procedures:
+
+ zopm75 -- open + allocate
+ zclm75 -- close + deallocate
+ zrdm75 -- asynchronous binary read
+ zwrm75 -- asynchronous binary write
+ zwtm75 -- wait for i/o completion, return status
+ zstm75 -- get device status
