I am trying to decide which is an easier environment to work with, for programming graphics-based applica- tions. We have both X11R3 and Suntools. I have yet to actually try to write something with X, pending a reference manual for the library which is en route to me (I hope) courtesy of LCIS. I have typed in some demos from Suntools. Boy, you guys at Sun sure believe in strong typing, eh? Anyhow, if you have some rudimentary exposure to both, I would value your opinion. Ideally, I should try to work both. But I am entering my senior year, this is not a project for credit, and I have ony so much time. Randy -- Randy J.
