This is probably a dumb, basic question, but please enlighten me. I would
like to use a tool similar to Sunview's (?) File Manager in an XView
application. Is the source for such a program available?
I want to be able to traverse a directory tree, select (floating point) images
within directories for processing by clicking on them, etc.
Also, is there a good source of public (already developed) domain xview based
tools somewhere? (For things like building command lines to programs and shell
scripts, etc)

If you need to get information from File Manager into an application of yours, you can use drag-n-drop; that's what File Manager is for. Is the source available? yup. Not quite for free, though; you have to get an Openwindows source license. -Doug Doug Cook |"Like a breakfast at the egg-house, Video Group, Advanced Systems Division | a waffle on the griddle, Silicon Graphics, Inc. | I'm burnt around the edges, Mountain View, CA | but I'm tender in the middle." | -Adrian Belew

The $995 Source License does not include File Manager, dbxtool, mailtool, cm, binder, tapetool, printtool. -- Bruce G. Barnett barnett@crd.ge.com uunet!crdgw1!barnett

The source license doesn't seem to contain anything that you need to really "use" OpenWindows. Maybe sun only hopes that it contains enough so that it will drag you away from motif, but it seemed never been intended that OpenLook runs in a useful environment on anything else but Sun machines. Seems as if my favour for NeWS wears of with this "neither free nor open" attitude of Sun. What a pity. A predict that they won't get the NFS effect with OW anymore. -- Toerless Eckert | /C=de/A=dbp/P=uni-erlangen/OU=informatik/S=eckert V.4: Noah's ark of Unix | X.400 ^ Internet> eckert@informatik.uni-erlangen.de
