Does anybody have any information about GEOWorks or know of any articles or similar information I can get about the package? Apparently, it is GUI softwarethat will run on non-386 computers. I saw a package at WaldenSoft run and the "look and feel" was very much like Openlook. It could be a nice alternative to Windows 3.0. I was just curious if anybody out in netland had used it or knew anything about it. Please e-mail to me and I will post a response if there is other interest.

The interface is based on Motif guidelines, but that's as far as it goes. 3) It trashed two of my hard drives. 4) There are no apps for it. Why run a windowing environment without any applications? 5) There is not a developer's kit available. --K.

I'm posting this for a friend of mine, who has no network access. He is looking for the address of the company, making/distributing the GEOWORKS system (as far as I understand it, it is some kind of windowing for MSDOS). Unfortunately, I do not follow this newsgroup regularly, so I'd be very pleased if you could send me this address per e-mail. Many thanks in advance Tom
