I recently ordered the PHIGS standard from ANSI.  It is my understanding that
X3-144 also comes with X3-144.1, the PHIGS FORTRAN language bindings.

Hence my question:
	When can we expect to see the equivalent C language bindings
	from ANSI?

I realize that these bindings are probably undergoing standardization
as I speak.  I would even bet that there is probably a reasonably
stable working draft or dpANS somewhere.  So does anyone know what
stage of the standards pipeline the C (and other) language bindings
for PHIGS are in?  Pointers to the appropriate standards
committee/chairperson(s) would be appreciated.

Question for someone in the know (perhaps there's a committee member
somewhere who actually reads comp.graphics):

	Is there a commercial version of PHIGS that the C language
	bindings are being substanitially derived from ?
