[comp.unix.questions] PHIGS on X on Suns?

amir@pilat.Silvaco.COM (Amir J. Katz (Xpert)) (03/10/91)

I am not sure whether I have already posted it, but I have neither
seen a single posting nor received an answer, so I'll re-post:

1. I have some software that runs on Apollos using 2D-GMR graphic package.
   I have been told that the closest thing to it in the modern world would
   be PHIGS. Is that so?
2. If PHIGS is the answer, are there PD or commercial implementations of
   PHIGS running on top of X windows? Especially on Sun machines?
   My information to date is:
   - Sun has sunPHIGS, runs on top of SunView,
   - DEC has its PHIGS
   - IBM has graPHIGS running on RS/6000.
3. Sun's Catalyst catalogue list a few companies claiming to have PHIGS:
   - Template Graphic Software
   - Unicad
   - Creative Visual Software
   None have responded so far to inquiries. Does anyone have any info
   about these guys and/or their software ?
