I didn't think an Amiga group really needed the matter thrashed out _in
extensu_; since my note specifically refered to a USL recommendation, I
presume that intelligent readers will infer that I am speaking of the USL
product, which is what I have seen running on Amigas at trade shows.  This
product offering is a USL server (modified from the MIT reference source)
and the Xt-based OPEN LOOK toolkit (same as what is called OLIT in Sun's
current offering.)  The *source* code for UNIX SVR4.0 includes NeWS and
XView (I do not know details about versions of these), but I do not know
if these are offered with the Amiga -- that's an OEM decision.
