Description

The event displays of DELPHI and OPAL were built on top of a commercial and
closed source PHIGS implementation. When the company providing the toolkit
seased to exist, and the existing binaries stopped working on recent operating
systems, these tools were essentially given up.
In this presentation, we will show how we managed to revive the event displays
nevertheless, based on an open source prototype implementation called OpenPHIGS, which was published a couple of years ago.
