	I just read that IBM has licensed the interface software that
NeXT has been developing for it's system for IBM use. The rumored
license fee was $10 million clams.

	This seems like it must be pretty good. And with IBM backing
it may take off. This may nullify all the widget work, I don't know.
I just know that all this must seem pretty confusing to persons wanting
to develop for the 'standard' X platform... ;-)>

	Anyone know anything further (that they can say) about this
apparent agreement ??
