Some folks in one of the labs here would like to do some solid object
modelling. The machines under consideration for doing said modelling
are;
    (i)   Sun Sparc 2 with GS graphics accelerator.
    (ii)  Silicon Graphics IRIS workstation.
    (iii) NeXT Cube with the NeXTdimension board.
The next seems competitive in price/performance ratio. My concern is
the availability of graphics software. Sun and Silicon Graphics both
have implementations of PHIGS. Is PHIGS or something comparable available
for the NeXTdimension card.
Thank you.
