Back when the successor to SunView was called View2, I got a copy of a
document entitled `View2 Reference Manual: Converting Sunview 1 to View2'
(part # 800-2483-02).  This document describes some differences and
incompatibilities between the two systems, levels of conversion (minimal vs
full) and the code changes needed.  The copy I have is an alpha draft from
11/88, so I imagine that the contents have changed somewhat in the latest
version of this manual for XView.

Hope this helps.
