    Matthew,

    These error messages indicate that a graphics workstation was either
    not opened at all, or not properly opened to start with, and thus your
    program is unable to issue workstation commands (like clearing the
    workstation and closing the workstation). Or, perhaps your
    workstation *was* opened and closed successfully, but then somehow
    your program is trying to do more operations on the workstation
    *after* it was successfully closed.

    I am not familiar with how "rip" operates, so I can't say for certain
    what your scenario is. I would double-check your program to make sure
    that either "OPNGKS" is being called, or the combination of "GOPKS",
    "GOPWK", and "GACWK" are being called before any other GKS or plot
    commands are being called. Then, make sure that you don't have other
    GKS or plot commands being issued after "CLSGKS" or the combination of
    "GDAWK", "GCLWK", and "GCLKS" are called.
