Dear NeXT people, I am now saving pennies for a NeXTstation 400 and an X11R4 programmer's devel package. X is not a first love so spare me the flames. It's merely a saleable skill and those of us in relative poverty think about that sort of thing. OK now... What I need is software that makes the NeXT a good, complete development platform for X11R4 with OSF/Motif or OPEN LOOK. OSF/Motif has been in use by a very congenial correspondent for a number of months in the form of mouse-X for the NeXT. But as isn't mouse-X is still in beta? I need more than one review. Also, what are users' opinions of co-Xist? The only info I have is that it exists in a relatively complete form. I want to know HOW WELL it does X11R4 with either toolset. Finally, will Borland C++ work on a NeXT with the proper existing emulator? It would be nice to develop for and test in both DOS and UNIX at the same time. Please minimize the DOS flames as well. There are imperfect platforms out there. :) -- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ btaplin@silver.ucs.indiana.edu craves Bay Area work. Religion BA.
