Xview is sun's toolkit which helps one to implement an open look application. It is not based on the xt intrinsics, but uses xlib directly. One of its design goals was to make it easy to convert a sunview application to an xview application, so it is very similar to xview. Sun is now providing an intrinsics-based open look toolkit, which they are calling OLIT (open look intrinsics toolkit). It is basically a port of the att's intrinsics toolkit, which used to be called xt+. (I don't know what ATT is calling it now.) The latest version is based on R4 and will work with any R4 server including x11/news and the mit r4 server. The motif toolkit is also based on the intrinsics, except that you have to use their version of Xtlib because their "standard" toolkit will not work with the standard intrinsics toolkit. Dev guide, Sun's interface builder tool, produces xview code. -- Jeff Mischkinsky internet: jeff@unify.com Unify Corporation ...!{pyramid,csusac}!unify!jeff 3870 Rosin Court voice: (916) 920-9092 fax: (916) 921-5340 Sacramento, CA 95834 ICBMS: 38 38 40 N / 120 28 10 W
