Hi all,

I have just got my hands on a Sun SPARC IPC and want to develop an application
in XView. I am quite naive about it all. Help.

I believe that XView comes with the IPC and I am waiting for the delivery of
the developers toolkit that allows you to visually place buttons, etc where
you want them and will then generate template c code for the windowing aspects
of your application.

Can anybody give me any good sources of referneces on XView?

Can somebody make it clear to me the differeneces between all these various
toolkits that exist for the X windows system?  Is it that XView is in 
competition with other toolkits such as motif and Xt? Don't these 'sit-on-top-
of' Xlib?  Will I need to gain a good knowledge of Xlib?

Perhaps someone could suggest a base set of references for me (a beginner).

Thanks
           Cormac!
