A couple of keen-eyed observers of comp.graphics noticed my mistake and sought clarification. SIGGRAPH will not be publishing the PHIGS standard. SIGGRAPH will publish the "PHIGS+ Functional Description Revision 3.0" in Computer Graphics, vol 22, no 3, July 88. This is a set of proposed extensions to the PHIGS graphics standard (dpANS X3.144-198x, DIS 9592) to cover the areas of lighting, shading and advanced primitives which have thus far not been addressed by that standard. The document is organized to promote its eventual integration with the existing documentation and has been made available to standards bodies for their consideration. Thanks go to John McConnell, X3H3 Vice-chair,, and to Tom Morrissey, PHIGS document editor, , for their prompt concerns. Richard J. Beach SIGGRAPH Editor-in-chief
