[comp.os.vms] The release date of VAX PHIGS ?

hoset%si.uninett@TOR.NTA.NO.UUCP (11/26/87)

In the previous mail I made several people confused when I wrote
PHIGHS instead of PHIGS, so I hope this mail can "deconfuse" my
previous mail.

PHIGS is short for 
Programmer's Hierarchical Interactive Graphics System.

IBM has their graPHIGS.
APOLLO has their GMR.
Both products are based on the porposed ANSI and ISO standard.

Since I'm working with VAX computers I have asked DEC/NORWAY if
DEC has planned to release their own version of PHIGS. DEC/NORWAY
said a VAX PHIGS version was on fieldtest, but they could not say
anything about the official release date.

So, are there anyone who knows when DEC is releasing their
PHIGS version under VAX/VMS ?

Any rumors/facts will be greatly appreciated.
