The management here at AIT has decided that it wants; nay, make that that
it desprately NEEDS TO RIGHT NOW THIS INSTANT!!; me to port our CLX
based user interface system to on top of a theoretically available
lisp osf/motif toolkit which works with Lucid lisp and which is supported
on both unix and vax VMS platforms.
Further, this susposed toolkit with suspossedly generate UIL files for the
complex widgets to allow twiddling by non developers.
I interperate this as meaning the following: in order that i not be FIRED
very soon, i must begin writing my own lisp to C bindings to call out to
the osf/motif toolkit. A three month at least 24 hour a day NIGHTMARE!!
Does anyone out there now of any lisp osf/motif toolkits?? anything!, as long
as it runs on Lucid and provides osf/motif so that my pictures will look
like "the classic 'document model' as exemplified by the xmeditor" simple
text editor demo that seems to come as a demo with the osf/motif stuff.
If it generates UIL files, all the better!, but not essential.
Please!, please email any and all pointers to any such toolkits and/or their
vendors directly to me. (i will be delighted to collect and post an annotated
summary of these, if there is any interest).
I very much need to start pushing the purchase orders through as soon as
can be if i am going to be able to get anything in house in order to even
start using it before magament's deadline comes.
Thank you!
