This document was revised and has been finalized. It has also been adopted by ANSI as a national standard. It is available from ANSI in NY (212) 354-3343. The cost is $28.00 plus shipping. If your company is a member of ANSI, you can order over the phone and they will bill you. Otherwise you must send payment with your order. ANSI document number: ISO/DIS 7942 Revised ANSI committee id: ISO/TC97/SC21N204 Other tidbits: VDI and VDM are now called CGI and CGM by the X3 committees. These standards aren't expected to be presented to ANSI until sometime in 1987. Working drafts of PHIGS and CGI/CGM standards may be available from the respective committee chairperson. Distribution of working drafts is done at their discretion. (I have noticed the posting saying these and other drafts are available through CBEMA. If this is true, that is probably the best route; ANSI made no mention of it however.) X3H3.1 (PHIGS) Chairperson: Richard Puk (714)455-5590 X3H3.3 (CGI/CGM) Chairperson: Margret Journey, Precison Visuals (303)530-9000 The tidbits above were given to be by ANSI and I make no claim as to their accuracy or to the disposition of the chairpeople if descended upon by the masses:-). -- Regards, George Hart, Computer X Canada Ltd. {cbosgd, decvax, harpo, ihnp4}!utcs!mnetor!george
