I read some nasty reports in ComputerWorld that Open Look was more or less dead in the water or would be soon --- that is not to say that Sun or AT&T are abandoning, but that it had little chance of becoming a widespread standard. ComputerWorld -- feb. 6, 1989 AT&T's Open Look support vanishing, page 6 "Many analysts concurred last week that Open Look's days are numbered." "Open Look will become a great trivia question." "Tow or three years from now, Open Look will have disappeared." I've been waiting to see it and now people are already pronouncing and perhaps celebrating its death. Is there any substance to these rumors? mark
