The XView toolkit source is included on the X11R4 tape distribution.  Also,
two patches are on expo in pub/XView.  There is a script included called
"convert_to_xview" to help SunView programs make the transitions.  Also,
the conversion guide has some good tips--see special part on converting
pixwin graphics to Xlib graphics for best performance.

Sun also sells XView as part of the OpenWindows binary product (contact local
market/sales people for details etc..)
