Abstract
This paper considers the problems associated with the support of graphics software in the university community in the UK and takes the development and support of computer graphics at Loughborough University as an example. Many of the issues are not unique to graphics software and apply to the support of the very wide range of software being used in universities. The paper goes on to consider how graphics standards in general, and CGM in particular, can assist in helping universities through what is seen as being a software crisis [1].
