Hi,

  I'd like to conduct a little informal survey to 
find out how popular and viable a package PHIGS is 
for all you application programmers out there who 
write graphics applications.

  It has always been my belief that solution
suppliers demand standards and prefer to
base their own software on standard platforms.
It has recently been suggested to me that this
is currently not necessarily the case and that 
there is a lot of resistance to using and/or 
porting to PHIGS for graphics applications. 
Is this true and if so, why?

  Thanks for your input.
