On the X11 distribution tape there is a package called the Text Management Library by Apollo. Does anyone know anything about this package? The documentation looks interesting, but I'm concerned that all of the software and documentation says that TMLib is "Confidential and Proprietary", even though it is on the contrib distribution. As the restricted rights notice reads, I certainly can't use it, and have no idea what it is doing on a public distribution. Any clues as to its legal status? And while I'm on the subject, I'd like to ask a question so broad that I can't really expect a reasonable answer, but that won't stop me from trying... I'm interested in "higher level" window system packages supporting features such as formatted text presentation and editing, tree diagram browsing, tables, etc which run on top of X and have a programming interface usable from C++. Basically, I'm looking for packages which are useful in building document handling applications such as a WYSIWYG editor. I am aware of InterViews, (and Andrew of course although it is not C++) but am curious about what other commercial or publically available software exists. I'm also aware of some commerical libraries at the Xt level, but am interested in something a bit higher-level. -- Dan Gerson gerson@parc.xerox.com Xerox Palo Alto Research Center 415-494-4745 3333 Coyote Hill Road Palo Alto, CA 94304 USA
