[comp.sys.sun] Sun scraps Open Look

gregb@uunet.uu.net (Gregory S. Baber) (03/09/89)

On the cover of the Feb 27 issue of Digital Review, it says that Sun is
expected to "ditch Open Look". Is this true? What will Sun offer in it's
place? Does this indicate a rift between Sun and AT&T? Does this mean that
I don't have to read Open Look spec ver 15? :-)    gregb

You don't believe everything you read in a newspaper do you?

OpenLook is a live and kicking, hence the announcement at Uniforum, (end
of Feb '89) of OpenWindows/Xview and 3 products utilising the OpenLook
GUI.

Ps. Hope I don't get shot for this!

The March 6 issue of UNIX Today!, page 5, had an article about new Sun
documentation products which are based on Open Look.  The article also
said that Sun announced a migration path to Open Look and X-Window support
for SunView based programs.
