	I have not use the XVT development system at all, but I read
somewhere that the XVT Toolkit only provides an union of the X, Win3
and the MAC capabilities.  That is good and bad.  If that is true,
then the XVT Tool Kit only provide a subset of each window enviornment
and not all the functions.  It is good, on the other hand, that you have
one program source and it works on all environments.

	Well, that's my 2 cents.
