[comp.windows.x] X11 application development platforms

lkb@theceg.UUCP (Larry K. Blische) (02/28/89)

Over the next few weeks I will be trying to learn everything there is
to know about development platforms suitable for a project which will
require converting a PC based application to run in a Unix workstation
environment.  The application is networked based and graphically oriented.

At this time I have seen only the Sun 386i demo.  What I am interested
in are the views and opinions from other application developers concerning
equipment you are using, good features of your platform and its pitfalls,
ideas concerning development on one platform for eventual use on a different
platform, other comments you might think are useful.

Our immediate concern is with the cost of this development platform as we
are used to clone PC, AT and 386 type prices.  Have any of you put together
your own 386 based (remember, color X11) platforms and care to relate your
trials and triumphs?

Thanks in advance for your responses.
