We are currently working on the representation of control systems in a 
computer aided engineering environment.  A major part is the graphical 
representation of both static and dynamic behaviour.

For reasons of portability, we would like to use a standard graphics 
package.  We have come to the conclusion that GKS does not meet our 
demands, but we think PHIGS will.  My questions are:

1.  For which computers is PHIGS available, in particular workstations
    (Sun-3, Silicon Graphics, DEC, IBM RT,...) ?

2.  What are the current statuses of those implementations ?

3.  Who has experience of using PHIGS ?  Are there any textbooks or
    lecture notes ?

Thank you for your help.  Contributions will be compiled and posted 
on request.
