We have been looking at different categories of such tools and our requirements are: - a WYSIWYG editor for generating Motif interfaces. - generate C++ and UIL code. This tool is meant to offer us a fast way to generate Motif interfaces and not a more complete UIMS tool. The category of tools we are looking for is often called IDT - interactive drawing tool. This category will just hand us the right C++/UIL-code that we are asking for and not the complete UIMS-tools with interpreter (C-code), dialog- languages and other fancy facilities. Problems with "complete" UIMS-tools are that the are often using properitary libraries and is offering to much functionality. We have seen different kinds of such tool, but just references: XBuild (Siemens Nixdorf - see Byte March 91 p. 78) This tool is said to generate C code, but I have from another reference seen that it is generating C++. What is right ? Does anyone have any experiences using this ? Other such tools are: ixBuild - ixos Germany Builder Xcessory - Integrated Computer Solutions Inc, USA ExX - Sunrise Software, USA OpenDialog - Apollo ++ The must be available on SPARC.
