XView is the public domain version of SUN's Open Look GUI and was distributed 
as part of MIT's X11r4 tapes under the contrib section. XView2 is the latest 
version of XView and is available from many sites on the internet via
anonymous ftp.

According to the documentation SUN are going to port XView2 to the HP platform
themselves. I was able to get most of it going (in a fashion) but had to give
up due to filestore problems. If (when) I can finish the port, I will send a 
message to this newsgroup.
