Well,
First and foremost, there's WCL. Release 1.05 just went out on
comp.sources.x. It's a beautiful Zen approach to writing X apps.
It supports Motif but not Open Look. OL should be fairly easy to add.
Some guy at the Strategic Air Command in Rome, New York wrote a C++
class library that controls OL and Motif. It's called THINGS. Beta version.
I got it from the ZOK UUCP X sources archive, which also has Thomas
Roell's new 1.1 386 port of X11R4. Here's an old read-me:
#########################################################################

################# W e s t C o a s t #################
################# U U C P X 1 1 A r c h i v e #################
#########################################################################
Good News: We now have a UUCP X11 archive site on the west coast again.
The X archive on Zok contains the full X11R4 distribution, the XTEST
distribution, an *entire* archive of comp.sources.x, along with many
other X11 goodies.
To get a current listing of the files that are available, download
the file "/usrX/ls-lR.Z".
A full subject index of the comp.sources.x files is available in the
file "/usrX/comp.sources.x/INDEX".
When downloading files with uucp, wildcards (i.e. "*") won't work. Be
sure to specify the full pathname starting with "/usrX/". For example,
uucp zok\!/usrX/ls-lR.Z \!~
(The above "\"'s are csh escapes, ignore them if you're using sh.)
Currently this modem line is Zok's only email and news connection to
the outside world. Should you wish to fetch large distributions, such
as X11R4, it would be appreciated if you would pause every now and then
so that normal UUCP traffic may continue. Thanks.
