Message-ID: Date: 12 Feb 90 18:45:15 GMT Organization: Xenix Support, FICC Lines: 8 One thing that occures to me is that this Open Look versus Motif thing would be easier to deal with under NeWS. It would be reasonable to implement most of the UI in the server, and have the *user* choose Open Look or Motif, with NeWS. It's not really reasonable to do this under X. So if he OL/Motif war goes on long enough for V.4 with the X/NeWS merge to get out there to a significant number of users, it might turn the X versus NeWS war around again... -- _--_|\ Peter da Silva. +1 713 274 5180. . / \ \_.--._/ Xenix Support -- it's not just a job, it's an adventure! v "Have you hugged your wolf today?" `-_-'
