	Has anyone had the opportunity to work with both AT&T's Xt+
	toolkit and Sun's OLIT toolkit?  (Both api's produce OPEN LOOK
	style windows.)  If so, are there any significant differences
	between the two?

I believe that OLIT is Xt+, modified by Sun for X11R4.


	In particular are there any problems running a program with 
	AT&T's Xt+ that was developed using Sun's OLIT?  Any problems
	the other way around? 

I compiled the examples from John Miller's "An OPEN LOOK at UNIX" with
only one problem (if you don't count getting the source off the 5-1/4
inch floppy fixed in the back cover): one of the files was missing a header.
I would be surprised if there were any really significant problems in
going between the two.
