I'm interested in finding out about availability of graphics implementations on several platforms. In particular, I'd like to know about Dore and/or phiggs+ implementations for Iris, Sun, Dec, Stardent, and IBM workstations. Any information on what's available from 3rd party vendors would be useful. If you have any experience with an implementation, please let me know how complete it is, and how well supported/maintained it is. Thanks for the help, Larry

Well, I'm a PHIGS bigot so first... PHIGS (PHIGS88+PHIGS-PLUS) runs on all of the boxes you mentioned. For some it is based on code from Template Graphics; for others it is done by the vendor. In all cases you would want to contact the "consumer compatible live-ware" of the vendor. PHIGS has been a standard for just over a year and a half, so implementations are starting to mature. Dore' runs on Stardent machines. Portable Dore' is a source code product and has drivers for Suns and Irises in its user contributed collection.
