Hi,
just to clarify my first question

For me it is still unclear:
  - Is PEXlib a new API to the PEX-SI server ! Does this mean
    that the capabilities of the server remain unchanged !?
  - Can someone just point out what are the important new features
    of the PEXlib which were not available by the old PEX-binding ?
  - The problem in using PEX API is that it is very much low level
    interface. This was the reason why I mentioned that I use the
    "phigs API from MIT X11R5". Is there any similar "high level
    interface" to this PEXlib ??
  - Exist there some demonstration programs ?

Thanks for you answers Ralph. You must know that I am a "user" who is
not interessted in low-level protocol details. What I am looking for is
a high-level 3D-graphic library and a c/c++ programming interface. And
all of this should be for nothing (public domain).

Ciao
