One doesn't really write an application "in PEX". You use an API that generates PEX. For example, the PHIGS library provided on the X11R5 tape is an example of an API that generates PEX. If you know PHIGS, you should be OK with using this library (refer to the man pages and the sample clients for more help). O'Reilly & Associates have recently announced this book about this PHIGS: PHIGS REFERENCE MANUAL: 3D PROGRAMMING IN X edited by Linda Kosko 1116 pages ISBN 0-937175-91-9 Another popular PEX API is PEXlib which reached final specification just this month. There is a tutorial at the Jan 93 X Tech Conference in Boston. Books should be out soon. -- Karl Schultz schultz@vnet.ibm.com These statements or opinions are not necessarily those of IBM
