- You've hit one of the many PHIGS portability issues.... My advice? Get
- Liant's FIGARO+. FIGARO+ is Liant's implementation of the ISO/ANSI
- PHIGS standard which we've ported everywhere (it seems). Source code is
- totally portable, requiring only a recompile and relink. With respect
- to X integration issues, we've been doing PHIGS on top of X since 1988/89
- while FIGARO+ has been evolving since 1985.
-
- Anyway, if you want the usual marketing literature, send a note to
- info@liant.com.
-
- If you have technical questions, send them to me, joes@lpi.liant.com.
