> XView is Sun's toolkit for use with View2, their merged Sunview/X11 server.

XView is a toolkit, developed by Sun, that has a SunView application
programming interface and an Open Look look and feel.  It will work with any X
server, not just X11/NeWS. 


> It is not yet available, and will be sold by Sun, I believe.

Sun has said several times that they plan to contribute XView to the MIT
release.  Steve Messina at Sun has asked me to pass on his name to anyone who
would like to obtain a beta copy of XView.  His phone number is 415-336-2017. 


> I don't think it will be PD...

Not public domain, but publicly available.  Just like all of the rest of the
software on the MIT tapes.
