I was wondering if there is any way to get one Sun to open Sunview windows on another Sun, like X windows does. I know that this isn't possible with just Sunview, but it seems that is should be possible to intercept calls to the Sunview library and convert them into messages to send over the net. Does anyone know of a way to do this or some reason why this is impossibe? The reason I want to do this is we have some very expensive software that is liscenced to run only on one CPU and it would be nice to use other suns as Sunview terminals. This software only runs under Sunview, not X windows. Thanks in Advance. Steve Hansel hansel@aerospace.aero.org

What Steve suggests has been done, and the code is available for free. It is part of the ET++ toolkit from ETH, which I think is available by ftp from cs.rochester.edu, and probably other places as well. C++ is required if you want to compile this stuff, but the distribution includes sun3 binaries that you can try out. Scott Schwartz <schwartz@shire.cs.psu.edu>

I think you may be able to do what you want with xview/openlook. Chat with your local sales office, and if they can't come up with an expert ask to chat with their windows ambassador. Don't mention me, or that anyone from galactic HQ said this. cheers Keith H. Bierman |*My thoughts are my own. !! kbierman@sun.com
