andrea:

some time ago, GSS upgraded our VDI product to reflect the enhanced 
functionality of the proposed CGI.  at this time, we also added additional
functionality and improved on existing primitives.  the things we added include
such things as raster-ops, off-screen bitmaps, fast ellipses, faster lines, 
better font model, etc.

as you point out, ANSI has not yet standardized CGI, per se.  it is a proposed
standard.  our product is one implementation of it.  it also happens to be
included in dozens of OEM's and third-party software vendor's products -
companies such as including IBM, AT&T, SCO, Ashton-Tate, Microrim, et al.

if you have any further questions regarding our product line, please contact
our director of marketing, dan fineburg.
