Thank you for your answers. A Postscript copy of the OI (the Solbourne toolkit) tutorial is available on expo.lcs.mit.edu in contrib/OItutorial.tar.Z. Here's the standard blurb about the toolkit with the name of the AT&T contact. The OI toolkit is a C++ based toolkit for writing X11 applications. It has been licensed and is being distributed by AT&T. Like other toolkits, OI provides a basic set of objects used in constructing a user interface. Unlike other toolkits, these objects are generic in nature. The particular appearance and behaviour of an object may be determined at execution time -- the same executable image may run under different interaction and appearance models. OI currently supports Motif, and 2D and 3D OPENLOOK. Subclassing to produce user derived classes which will work in all models is easy to accomplish.
