Hello X World!

We are currently developing an X windows application on a Sun Sparc 1+, 
running Openwindows. We also have the Sun PHIGS package including the 
PHIGS-Plus extensions, and are interested in using the PHIGS libraries 
within the X windows environment.

We have heard of a software package, called PEX (I believe from MIT)
that allows us to create a PHIGS workstation in an X window, rather than
the standard sunview window. 

Does anyone have any information on PEX, and the method by which it interfaces
to X windows. Also, does anyone have any information on how we can get a copy
of the software and manuals, and maybe even some example demo programs.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
