[comp.windows.x] Solbourne's C++ OI X-windows Toolkit

golffool@cbnewsl.att.com (kathy.e.dobias) (09/25/90)

Has anyone out there tried using the OI C++ X-windows toolkit
from Solbourne?  I have a few questions:

	Is OI any easier to use than Sun's Xview toolkit?

	Is there a prototyper comparable to Sun's DevGuide?

	Did they design the C++ classes so that they are easy to extend?

	Is there good documentation available (similar to
	the Xview Programming Manual from O'Reilly & Associates)?

	Did Solbourne faithfully follow the OpenLook specification?

	Is a production version available or is it still in Beta test?

	Is it a pretty solid product or do the objects have a lot of
	bugs and deficiencies?

	Are there any reasons why our group should switch from XView to OI?

	Will OI become the toolkit of choice in the '90s?!


Thanks in advance for any guidance you can give me.
