There's an article in the October 31 issue "UNIX Today" that says:
In teaming up with Microsoft, HP has shelved further work
on its own version of an X-Windows toolkit for application
developers, called HP X Widgets.
Does anyone know if we will ever get an R3 version of the HP widgets?

We are definitely NOT abandoning the X Widgets. Part of the CXI user interface is the X Widget library. > Does anyone know if we will ever get an R3 version of the HP widgets? HP will produce an R3 product version of the X Widgets. We are not ready to publically commit to providing a public domain version of that software, yet. However, the odds are good that we will provide such a public domain version. Bob Miller HP X Widgets Team

The UNIX Today article is referring to the XrLib (or XRay) that HP developed for X10. We have ported XrLib to X11, but are concentrating on the Xt Intrinsics and the HP X Widgets as our toolkit platform for X11. We will definitely be moving the HP X Widgets to R3 of the intrinsics as they(intrinsics) stablize. In our response to the OSF RFT, we endorse the core component effort of the MIT X Consortium. Bob Miller, our project manager for toolkits, is the current chair of that group. Our intention is to continue our commitment to donating key portions of our software development to MIT and the X community. -- Ed Lee X Window System Program Coordinator 1000 NE Circle Blvd Corvallis, Oregon 97330 (503) 750-4106 ed%hpcvlx@hplabs.hp.com ...hplabs!hpcvlx!ed
