Hi Stephen,

Yes, I do know of a system similiar to ObjectWorks for C++ that runs under
industry-standard X11 windows on a UN*X platform.  It was announced last
month at several trade shows.  The name is HP C++/SoftBench for HP-UX.
It runs on the Series 300 and Series 800 flavors of workstation from
Hewlett-Packard.  It was also announced that the SoftBench environment
will be licensed to other vendors to promote open systems software
engineering tools.

In my opinion, it is (will be) superior to anything else in the market.
(But, I am biased :-)  This environment includes HP's superior HP C++
product which includes an object-oriented debugger for standard 2.0 C++
cfront code, a X11-based C++ browser/developer tool (C++Developer),
and all of the standard SoftBench open systems software engineering
components such as a build tool, development manager, static analysis
tool, debugger, editor, and more.  The C++Developer (browser/developer)
is also available standalone without the SoftBench CASE environment.

From an answer to another posting about HP C++ in comp.sys.hp:
|For Series 300, the part numbers you need are B1691A and B1693A and price
|is about $1700 before university software discount (not sure, but I think
|it is 50% discount for HP C++).  You can call your local HP sales office
|or the Customer Information phone number (1-800-752-0900) for more info.
|You might just call and ask for the 'technical data sheets' for all the
|HP C++ products.  Part numbers 5952-1568 (HP C++), 5952-0746 (Domain/C++),
|5952-2946 (HP C++Developer -- Browser and Class construction tool), and
>5952-2933 (HP C++/SoftBench -- complete C++ development environment).
