[comp.windows.x] PEX info?

alan@APPLE.COM (Alan Mimms) (09/15/88)

Would someone please give a precis on "What the Heck is PEX?"  I have heard
a few references to it and even have a vague idea what it encompasses, but
would like to get the ultimate authority, if possible.  Also, if anyone has
pointers to documents I can FTP or order or otherwise obtain, they'd be
most appreciated.

Thanx,
alan

PEX is a 3D graphics protocol extension designed to efficiently support
PHIGS and parts of PHIGS+.

    Also, if anyone has
    pointers to documents I can FTP or order or otherwise obtain, they'd be
    most appreciated.

On an R2 distribution, look in doc/PEX.  By anonymous ftp to expo.lcs.mit.edu,
look in /pub/PEX.  If you need hardcopy mailed to you instead, send a request
and a postal address to michelle@expo.lcs.mit.edu.
