After comparing Sun's alpha XView distribution against what was
included in X.V11R4, I discovered that XView's API documentation was
not included. However, the file, contrib/toolkits/XView/doc/README,
states that
"...a comprehensive programmer's reference manual for XView is now
available from O'Reilly & Associates, Inc. as Volume Seven of
their series of X Window System documentation. Contact O'Reilly &
Associates, Inc. directly to order the
"XView Programming Manual"

Note: For those who have been using the 1.0 version of the XView
library, there was a document that summarized the XView API
(Application Programmer's Interface). This work has been
incorporated into the "XView Programming Manual" by O'Reilly &
Associates, Inc. The previously distributed version of the API
summary is now out of date."
However, because I'm located in California, the specified telephone
number is inapplicable. Some investigation uncovered that from
*within* California, their telephone number is (800) 533-6887.
For those interested, O'Reilly & Associates, Inc. indicated that
Volume 7 costs $30, is available now, and has the following ISBN
number: 0-937175-38-2. They also stated that although Volumes 4 and 5
("X Toolkit Programming Manual" and "X Toolkit Reference Manual"
respectively) will be available imminently, Volume 6 is still being
written and currently has no title (!).
