But the XView 2.0 source release has a lot more than previous releases
of XView.  In addition to the toolkit source is provided for
		
		clock
		cmdtool/shelltool
		olwm  (OPEN LOOK window manager)
		props (sets workspace properties)
		textedit (OPEN LOOK equivalent to xedit)
		xvbench (looks like some sort of benchmark)
		perfdemo (enhanced performance meter)
		xps (PostScript viewer - uses XView/NeWS interface)

The source for the examples in Dan Heller's "XView Programming Manual"
is also included.  The OpenWindows distribution didn't contain much
source prior to version 2 either.

Not for OpenWindows as a whole.
