Being interested in learning things about PEX, I read the useful
posting on "Frequently Asked Questions about X with Answers"
I have obtained the documents on the PEX protocol and PEX encoding
from expo.lcs.mit.edu.  The protocol document (version 5.0P) refers
to a document called "PEX Introduction and Overview", which I have
not been able to locate on expo.  The versions on
giza.cis.ohio-state.edu seem to be out-of-date.
Is this intro publicly available somewhere?

Does anyone know how easily existing PHIGS programs will convert to
PEX programs using X-windows?

For Sun Sparc systems, will there be noticable performance differences
between PEX running in immediate mode and XGL?

Please send me e-mail with answers, as I am not a regular reader of
this list.  Also, post answers to comp.windows.x as well.  Thanks in
advance for any help related to these questions!
