Thanks Rob Peck for your comments regarding the Lattice Mac Libraries.

I now wonder if the X11 package is now the way to go if you want to
write windowing programs that can be used on different machines.
Can anyone using the X11 package indicate if it comes complete with
the  COMPLETE X11 Libraries?

Specifically could I use it to write a graphical
windowing program that would compile on the AMIGA as well as porting
easily to a machine running unix X11?

(I understand that if I have X11 running on my AMIGA, I could run
the X11 application on the unix machine and have a GUI to my program
on the amiga. But I would like to run the programs on either processor.)
