- Just to stir things up a little ... over on the SunPro SIG exploder, there
- seems to be a belief (I understand the information came from SunSoft) that
- SunSoft, and therefore their customers like SunPro, is moving to OLIT for new
- development. Current apps will be left in XView, which will continue to be
- supported (nobody knows for how long), but OLIT is the Wave of the Future.
-
- Now, I don't want to get embroiled in any religious wars, I know next to
- nothing about either of these :-). I just thought I'd throw this little bit
- of information out and see what happens ...
