I feel like I tried to get a drink of water at a fire hydrant. Let me refine my question a little: Macintosh vs. XView. Most of the complaints about X had to do with the grunginess of Xlib and Xt. Can anyone compare the Mac Toolbox to Xview? There is actually a book produced by Sun that is called something like "Sun development for Mac programmers". It's intended to compare the two environments. Don't have more knowledge on it than a quick glance in the bookstore though. However it's just what you are asking for, from the Sun perspective. -Jim XView Group -- -- Jim Becker / jcb%frisbee@sun.com / Sun Microsystems
