Does anyone know where I can get a copy of SPHIGS or PHIGS or both? Also what kind of hardware is required to run these systems. Thanks in advance. Derek Takamine takamine@hpcmfsa.corp.hp.com

The book which describes SPHIGS - Foley, Van Dam, Feiner & Hughes says you can get the software, SPHIGS & SRGP for a PC, Mac or X11 from the publisher, Addison-Wesley. Computer Graphics: ISBN 0-201-12110-7 ( the book ) SPHIGS, etc for PC ISBN 0-201-54700-7 SPHIGS, etc for Mac ISBN 0-201-54701-5 SPHIGS, etc for X11 ISBN 0-201-54702-3 However, from recent articles on this newsgroup, it does not appear that they will be selling the X11 version but you can get it via ftp. Also, the other versions are not yet available, they will be ready in October, or so. ( Again, my source is comp.graphics ). Here's the route to the X11 stuff. > Message-ID: <47969@brunix.UUCP> - Date: 22 Aug 90 20:42:11 GMT > Reply-To: graphtext@cs.brown.edu (David Sklar) > The PC and Mac versions will be available from Addison-Wesley beginning > the 26th of August. > > The X11r4 version is ftp'able now.

You might try an HP pricelist, or Stardent, DEC, IBM, Sun, Apollo and many, many more. -- -Jan "YON" Hardenbergh - jch@stardent.com uunet!stardent!jch Stardent Computer, Inc., 95 Wells Ave., Newton, MA 02159 (617)964-6228x261
