Hi!

I wrote a 2d-application with SunPHIGS on a Sun-Workstation (SunView!).
avoiding the programming interface to Sunview.
Even the menues were realized in PHIGS as workstations with
pickable graphical elements.

Now I try to transfer my application to X-Windows (X11R5) also without 
using the Xlib or a X-Toolkit.

-> PEX!

I've got two PEX-Versions: the first one was delivered with X11R5
(1991 by Sun Microsystems, Inc. and the X Consortium),
the second (newer one)
is on export.lcs.mit.edu and is called Xpex which I didn't use so far.

The main problem was that almost every phigs routine had a different name. 
So I wrote an include file with #define`s to correct it.  
I had the same problem with some type definitions. Finally I got
my application linked correct and running. But of course it is not working:
The first problem is the initial draw of my menues. I always have to close and
to reopen the window to see the menues. But the more tragic bug is that the 
pick device doesn't work. (pinq_pick_st has a bug which I fixed.)
After setting a pickfilter the mouse notices that I made a pick but
PHIGS tells me that nothing is picked. So I gave up.
There might also be a problem with the view.

Questions:

1. My PEX (first version) has some bugs. Where can I get bug-fixes?

2. Where can I get filters (SunPHIGS<->PEX, SunPHIGS<->Xpex,...)? 

3. Who has experiences using different PEX-versions? What problems/
   advantages/disadvantages do they have? 


Who can help me? Please send mail to
