Message-ID: Date: 17 Jan 91 15:45:42 GMT Sender: news@iesd.auc.dk (UseNet News) Organization: Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Aalborg Lines: 25 I have been wondering about the version of the OPEN LOOK window manager and especially the OPEN LOOK toolkits available for the Amiga 3000/UX. - Is the window manager supplied the one developed by AT&T, or is it the OPEN LOOK window manager developed by Sun and used in Open Windows as well as in the X distribution available from MIT and the X Consortium? - A number of OPEN LOOK toolkits for X has been implemented. One, under various names at various times (sigh) from AT&T, one called OLIT from Sun, and one called XView, also from Sun. The AT&T toolkit and OLIT are based on the X Toolkit Intrinsics, while XView has an API resembling SunView. Which of these are supplied with AMIX (or whatever it's called)? The toolkit part is especially important. Lots of software has been or is in the process of being written with XView. The fact that XView is available free means that lots of people have adopted it. This is especially so for University projects. /Lars -- Lars Fischer, fischer@iesd.auc.dk | Life is hard, and then you die. CS Dept., Univ. of Aalborg, DENMARK. | - The Immaterial
