I know that the dec and sun implementations of phigs+ (not phigs) are so
different from each other that we needed to write 2 different device drivers
for an application we are working on.  Does anyone know if PEX conforms to
sun or dec phigs+ programmer interfaces, or is it also another flavor of
the non-standard?

(p.s.  Standard phigs is identical in both the sun and dec implementations,
       but without lightsources, it is useless).
