- XView is yet another GUI programming toolkit, developed by Sun ostensibly
- as a Sunview -> X migration path. It implements the OpenLook standard
- interface model and is arguably the easiest of the toolkits to learn.

- XView is shipped with all Suns using OpenWindows; the default place to
- find it is /usr/openwin. The package is also in the public domain. I
- believe it is part of the MIT X11R5 distribution in the contrib/toolkits
- area, although I don't know for sure -- I'm using Sun's version.

- Chekc out comp.windows.open-look for more info. If you are using a SG
- machine, you may want to send mail to:
- Huw Lynch
- lynchh@pride.cs.curtin.edu.au
- huw@gaius.curtin.edu.au
- He just posted something in comp.windows.open-look about a patch for
- XView on the Irix (s?) architecture.
-
- Hope this helps.
