- Openlook is simply layered on X11R4 (or X11R5 whetevr the case of Sun OS is)
- which you don't have to run.....
- Do a directory listing on $OPENWINHOME/{bin,lib,include} :-)

- So you can use
- 1) OpenLook and X11Rx as it comes out of the box
- or
- 2) Use X11Rx as it cokmes out of the box
- or
- 3) Rebuild X11Rx and use that if you want to...
-
- I've ported XView to different platforms and all went relatively well, the only
- problem I had was certain files missing in other X11Rx platforms ( which were
- supposed to be standard and these were standard X11Rx files ) so I ftp'd them
- from X11R5 at MIT. These files were always on Sun Machines (maybe that is why
- their system is so big???)
