   CAN ANYONE HELP US UNRAVEL THE MYSTERIES OF PHIGS USAGE????

   Q1.   Does SDRC, Prime/CV, and McDonnell Douglas base their
         commercially-sold (released product) CAD/CAE software on PHIGS (or
         PHIGS+) graphics library?  (All platforms, all versions?)

   Q2.   What is the installed base of commercially-sold software based on
         PHIGS (or PHIGS+) from the above three vendors.

   Q3.   Are there any other commercial CAD/CAE software packages being
         sold that use PHIGS (or PHIGS+) for the graphics foundation?

   Q4.   Who are the major users of PHIGS (or PHIGS+) today?  If they are
         in large F1000 corporations that have in-house developed
         applications, then who are these major PHIGS users.  What type of
         applications do those F1000 customers use PHIGS for?  How many
         copies of PHIGS (run-time licenses) combined from all vendors are
         there in use today worldwide?

   Q5.   What is the installed base of Figaro (PHIGS or PHIGS+) packages
         from Template Graphics Software Inc.?

Thanks for any and all help you can give. Please do not respond to the
