We're in the process of deciding what to do with respect to OpenLook and/or Motif look-and-feel and are looking into our options with regard to toolkits, both free and commercial. I am aware of the XView and OSF/Motif toolkits, and have heard that Solbourne has a toolkit which is switch-selectable to be either OpenLook or Motif compliant. If you've used Solbourne's toolkit or know where to get it, please drop me a line at the address or phone number below. I'd like to know how to get it, how much it costs, how stable it is, and how effective for building commercial applications. If you know of any other toolkit than these that gives either or both OpenLook and Motif look-and-feel, please let me know the same information. If you've worked with either OSF/Motif or XView in a commercial application, I'd like to know your experiences with either, especially particular problems or things which worked particularly well. Lastly, if you are a Saber-C user and prefer one or the other interface, please let me know so that we can get some idea of how the market feels. Direct email or telephone replies are appreciated to help save bandwidth. I will attempt to summarize if appropriate.

InterViews has the beginnings of emulation for both OpenLook and Motif. I don't know how to judge compliance to these standards. Besides just compliance, you should think about the quality of the toolkit. I'm investigating Solbourne's OI, too, but don't know anything about it. I can recommend InterViews, it's great! -- Peter Ham PO Box 3430 (h)(415) 322-4390 MS Computer Science Student Stanford, CA ham@cs.stanford.edu Stanford University 94309 (o)(415) 723-2067
