I am looking for information regarding packages that are used in the development of complex windowing programs under Unix. I am familiar (mostly at the level of "I've heard the name") with the following packages: Motif, VAPS, Curses (which I believe is part of the 4.2 distribution), DataView, and AdaWindows; I'd especially like information on these. Precisely, what I am looking for is the following information: 1. What are the package's significant features? Its drawbacks? 2. What does this package do in relation to its competition? 3. What hardware bases does the package run on? 4. Does the package generate code? If so, what languages? 5. Does the package interface with existing code? If so, what languages? 6. What is the cost for a development license for the package? A runtime license? Maintenance support? Obligitory line: I am not a regular reader of these newsgroups. I would appreciate it if responses could be directed to be via Email. My Aerospace address is in my signature; an alternate address would be Faigin@dockmaster.ncsc.mil. Additionally, if you have any spare product literature, please feel free to send it to me at the address below. Daniel -- [W]:The Aerospace Corp.
