huh??  What I know to be true is that SunView1 binaries will run on
X11/NeWS using a binary compatability feature.  As a side affect of this
feature, you will see a colormap flash and a keyboard translation as you
move between SV1 and XNeWS.  It`s the same story as NeWS1.1 today.
XView binaries will not run in Sun Windows.  They require an X11 server.
You could write programs so that a compile time flag chose either SV1 or
XView.
