Message-ID: <1990Dec6.174502@snowking.Eng.Sun.COM> Date: 7 Dec 90 01:45:02 GMT References: Sender: news@exodus.Eng.Sun.COM Reply-To: tomj@snowking.Eng.Sun.COM (Tom Jacobs) Organization: Sun Microsystems, Inc. Lines: 32 The December 1990 "SunTech Journal" has several interesting articles comparing the various GUIs and APIs (including XView and Xt). Dan Heller (writer of both OPEN LOOK and Motif reference manuals) wrote a couple of the article, so the source is at least qualified to make the comparisons. Phone numbers for SunTech are (415)363-5200 in Redwood City CA and (603)924-0100 in Peterbourough NH. --Tom In article , kk@shasta.tivoli.com (Kerry Kimbrough) writes: |> I'm looking for some advice.
