We are about to begin work on control programs for airborne and ground based radars. These consist of realtime systems controlled by a UNIX (read SUN) system. The user interface will some form of windowing, preferably based on X11. What we are looking for is some form of package that will allow us to create the visual part of the system with relative ease and speed. Further, being a NSF funded project, we don't have gobs of $$$, so PD or inexspensive packages are our limit. We have heard of two likely canidates, but have little hard information on them - indeed we even lack their addresses - real, email or otherwise! If anyone can provide more information on these or other likely packages we would greatly appreciate it. Package 1: ET++ - Said to support both SunView and X. Supposedly from the University of Zurich. Package 2: TAE Plus - From NASA/Goddard Space Center. Said to support SunView. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Richard Neitzel National Center For Atmospheric Research Box 3000 Boulder, CO 80307-3000 303-497-2057 thor@thor.ucar.edu Torren med sitt skjegg Thor with the beard lokkar borni under sole-vegg calls the children to the sunny wall Gjo'i med sitt shinn Gjo with the pelts jagar borni inn. chases the children in. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Richard Neitzel

Both ET++ and TAE groups presented papers at OOPSLA'88. They are both in the conference proceedings. This can give you a taste of their flavor... In addition, TAE was presented as one of the demonstrations. BTW, demos was an experiment at OOPSLA'88 and TAE was one of the reasons it was a successful one. (that and Fabrik from Dan Ingals group at Apple. What a *great* piece of work!) Demos might be videotaped at the '89 conference and available for those that couldn't/didn't catch them at the conference. (any other ideas?) Dietz.
