So why not plan a review of TeleUSE from Telelogics/Telesoft.  Great
UIMS weapon
that is shipping for DECstations and Suns.  If you need a review for
this product
on a DECstation 3100,  please send me mail.  I could also test it on a
Sparcstation ...but then, I could easily get corrupted and be biased ;-)

TeleUSE supports Motif,  Athena, user defined widgets, etc, and has
dialog management,
supports C and ADA,  applications can be called directly from C, or from
TeleUSE's
higher level event-driven language called D.  Great product overall.
