Time for some exotic questions ? I've got this colleague who wants to put a SunView application on a RS6000. Only possibility we could come up with was to get XView on the RS6000 and to convert the SunView application to XView. Sounds a bit far fetched but we couldn't think of anything better. So here come the questions: 1. Has anyone got XView running on a RS6000, and if so how much work is it to get it running ? 2. Who could relay some experiences with converting from SunView to XView. 3. Is this the right way to go at all ? Or is there a better way to get a SunView application going on a RS6000. Please MAIL your replies, since we don't receive this newsgroup here. Thanks in advance, Tom.
