Hi all,

We are going to purchase one of these Motif GUI builders and have
narrowed it down to XBuild or UIM/X.  I would like to get some
feedback from some current users out there.

We need our GUI to run on SPARCS, IBM-RS/6000 and SGI platforms.

A point for XBuild:
XBuild generates generic Motif code.  UIM/X needs to make calls to
special library routines which you must buy for each unique platform.

A point for UIM/X:
UIM/X is being distributed by SGI and soon by IBM, which may mean
that it is a competent package with support.

Any users of these packages out there?
Please respond by e-mail.

Thanks,
	Mike
