Dr. Randy Pausch of the Computer Science Department here at U.Va.
has actually implemented a User-Interface Toolkit named SUIT
(" Simple User Interface Toolkit") that is in fact portable across
diverse platforms including X-Windows, MS-Windows, the Apple Macintosh,
and others.  One nice feature is that using SUIT doesn't lock you
into any Look and Feel and the Look and Feel can be changed without
recompiling.

Folks interested in UIMSs might well want to get more information
on SUIT.  Sending a request via e-mail to: graphics@cs.virginia.edu
should suffice.
