I have found the Beta version of UIMX very slow.  The code that is developed
is fast enough but the developing of the interface is very frustrating.  I
hope that the performance increases otherwise I belive that this tool will
not be well accepted.  As for the calls it produces, the version I have makess
calls to a toolkit provided by UIMX, i.e. the calls are to Ux...  they appear
to be very similar to the hp widget set.  They tell me (my HP representative)
that UIMX will eventually use the MOTIF standard.
