Xlogo is primarily of use in advertisements; look through UnixWorld or somesuch and count the number of Xlogo programs running on machines in ads for X terminals and servers. :-> Actually, the Logo widget is a fairly clean framework which can be used as a basis for a your-company-logo widget, which is how I found it to be useful. [Note that programs not using the Xaw set still have access to the Xlogo-drawing code, now placed in the Xmu library.] -- David B.
