  This might not be of much value to you - I'll post it anyway. Rumour
has it - I don't remember where I read it, some German mag or other -
that a toolkit is currently being developed which allows software
development for a wide range of GUIs, e.g. Windows 3.0, MOTIF, SunView,
etc. To port your application to a different GUI you simply link a
different library (we're talking C here, ok?). If my memory serves me
correctly, a company spokesman was quoted stating that porting an
application using this library would take just short of 20 minutes
(which - to me as a free-lance software developer - sounds highly
improbable).
  If you are in desperate need for information, I could delve into my
magazine archive and start searching.
    Hope this helps.
