I'm trying to gather information on a product from Integrated Computer Solutions called THE BUILDER XCESSORY. It's supposed to allow users to create GUIs interactively for OSF/Motif-Based Applications and then generate C code. Is anyone using it and liking it? Has anyone tried it and found it to be a piece of junk? Thank you, Wayne Scott

I like it :-) The Builder lets you create your Motif interface on the screen with the mouse and keyboard. The Builder will write out C, UIL, and X Resource files. It relies solely on the standard Xm and Xt libraries, leaving no garbage around in your code. It uses UIL as its meta-language which has the wonderful side-effect of enabling the Builder to read in an arbitrary UIL file. No royalties are due anyone (not to ICS, not to OSF) for the code generated by the Builder Xcessory. We will probably be showing the Builder at the OSF Road Show. One of the dates is April 19 in Parsippany, NJ. Info on the OSF Road Show can be obtained by calling OSF. You can visit the demo area without paying for the seminar(s). More info on the Builder Xcessory can be obtained by writing to 'info@ics.com' or 'unnet!ics.com!info'. -Aub Harden *********************************************************************** * * * Integrated Computer Solutions, Inc. | Everything you wanted to * * 163 Harvard Street | know about X but were * * Cambridge, MA 02139 | afraid to ask... * * * * voice: 617/547-0510 fax: 617/547-0758 e-mail: info@ics.com * * * * The X Window System Specialists * ***********************************************************************
