I am interested in feedback on how widely the following libraries are used,
both on Sun and on other platforms:

XView	SunView/SunTools library ported to X (source on X11 R4 tape)

XGL	immediate mode, object oriented graphics library with aspects of both
	GKS (2D) and PHIGS-PLUS (3D with shading, lighting), depends on X and
	OpenWindows for window management & network access.

Is anyone using either or both of these in a Motif (as opposed to the native
OpenLook) environment?

How many and what kind of third party (non-Sun) applications are based on
one or both of the above libraries?

Please send e-mail to me - I will summarize to the net. Thanks.
