[comp.windows.x] OpenLook widget set for non-Sun m/cs

rao@gabber.kodak.com ( Arun Rao) (03/07/91)

	We are writing applications which will eventually run on several
	different kinds of workstations, but are now being developed on
	SPARCstations.  Is the OpenLook widget set available for other
	machines (say DECstations)?  If so, who sells it?  Or is it wiser
 	to switch to Motif just to maintain portability?

	Thanks in advance.

The OLIT code originates at USL and is available from AT&T and from
a number of (other) Unix International companies.

You may want to contact Joanne Newbauer (OPEN LOOK product manager,
jo@attunix.att.com) for information on licensing and availability.

OLIT runs (currently) on various architectures (386, SPARC, 68xxx, 3B2) 
and systems (i.e. at least current flavors of HP/UX, SunOS and SVR4.)
I know of no reason why it would not port easily to VMS, but I don't know
off-hand of any current product offerings in that context.

I will offer you no words of "wisdom" :-)
