   As far as I know, OIL provides a C++ interface to both Motif and OL *at the
   same time*.

   Does anybody have some references (technical or otherwise) that I can look up
   to learn about OIL (without having to buy a Soulbourne :-)

   I'm most interested in the underlying class representation/organisation of the
   interface to the two widget sets.


For the record it is called OI (for Object Interface).

You can read Gary Aitken's paper if you can find a copy of the proceedings
of the 1990 X Technical Conference.  I'm pretty sure we will also be placing
Postscript copies of the OI tutorial notes from this years X Technical
Conference on expo.
