DecPHIGS on 5000/120

[Robert Evans]

Does anyone know whether DecPHIGS is fully functional on a baseline DecStation
5000 model 120?  This has no extra graphics hardware and is comparable with the
3100 (except faster).

According to DecDirect software catalogue, DecPHIGS 2-D support is based on
DecWindows (X) but its 3-D support is based on PEX.  PEX is supplied with
DecPHIGS on high-cost graphics machines (the PEX is accessible only from
PHIGS though).  But what about the lower-cost machines?  Does PEX work on these?

We're not looking for performance here - just the ability to run PHIGS for
teaching purposes.

Please email any responses - experience of PHIGS on a 3100 would be
interesting.  I need to know this yesterday.
