Greetings,

    I have two questions that hopefully someone can answer:

    1) Is there a version (commercial or PD) of PHIGS running under
       X-Windows (or X-Windows with InterViews or Openlook) for 
       Sun SparcStations?

    2) Are there any other high level standard graphics packages
       that are available that will interface with X-Windows 
       or InterViews, etc. on Sun SparcStations?

    I am looking into developing some graphics software that 
interfaces with X-Windows.  I would prefer using PHIGS since it is
standard.  The problem is that Sun's version of PHIGS is currently
running under SunView, and I am trying to break away from SunView.

    Please send any responses to my e-mail address to avoid wasting
bandwidth.  Also, if you have any other info that may seem even vaguely
pertinent to my questions, please respond.

                                      Thanks,
                                      Tim M. Kelley
