I have a couple of questions concerning what to expect from PEX and PHIGS
in the future (whitch in this case is within a year or two). I know that some
info is available in the PEX 6.0 specification papers, but I would appreciate
getting some more, bouth facts and rumours.

Interesting questions are:
  * When (if ever) will the official PHIGS version have support for
    immediate mode?
  * Will PEX/PHIGS support additional advanced graphical techniques like:
    - double buffering
    - texture mapping
    - antialiasing
    - etc....
    My understanding is that OpenGL will support many of these when it's
    available, so PEX/PHIGS will have to speed up to be into the race...

Finally, a different question. Is PEXIM publicly available (ftp'able)?
And if it is, then where?
