 Hi,

 We, at the NSF Engineering Research Center at Starkville, are in the process 
of evaluating the feasibility of various software tools for a major software 
development project to be ported on at least 4 different platforms viz. 
IBM/RS6000-Aix, SUN-SunOS, SGI-Irix and HP-HPUX; and have the following issues 
before us :

 1) Usage of PHIGS/GL for real time "highly interactive" graphics which uses
    features like drawing Nurb curves and surfaces, rendering using 
    Gouraud/Phong Shading etc.
 
 2) The latest versions of PHIGS/GL implementations on the above platforms
    and their respective portability.

 3) Usage of ANSI-C / K&R C standard for writing portable code for the
    chosen platforms.      <-----
 
 4) Portability of GNU-C/C++ to the above platforms.
                    ^
                    |_____

 5) Availability of X11R5 servers on the above platforms and the performance
    of nature of PEX/GL implementations (vis-a-vis portability) on them. 


 Another related query:
 
 Is the ANSI to K&R utility provided with ghostscript a full fledged
 converter? If not, in what way is it deficient?



 Any and all informative replies/suggestions would help us a lot.
