The source license doesn't seem to contain anything that you need to really "use" OpenWindows. Maybe sun only hopes that it contains enough so that it will drag you away from motif, but it seemed never been intended that OpenLook runs in a useful environment on anything else but Sun machines. Seems as if my favour for NeWS wears of with this "neither free nor open" attitude of Sun. What a pity. A predict that they won't get the NFS effect with OW anymore. -- Toerless Eckert | /C=de/A=dbp/P=uni-erlangen/OU=informatik/S=eckert V.4: Noah's ark of Unix | X.400 ^ Internet> eckert@informatik.uni-erlangen.de
