This source (I assume) is the OPEN LOOK widget set for X which AT&T has
developed and has just started marketing (it's already on the market
in binary).  I don't know the availability dates of the source, but
this seems reasonable.

I can't say much about the X/NeWS merge other than it exists and will
be on the market in a few months, along with NDE (NeWS Development
Environtment), and View2 (SunView libraries implemented under X).

That's exactly what it is.  I was under the impression that it wasn't
_quite_ that expensive, however.
