InterViews is a system for building and using interactive software. Like most interactive systems, InterViews is "object-oriented" in that components such as windows, button,s menus, and documents are active elements with inherited behavior. The name InterViews comes from the idea of a user interface object presenting an [inter]active [view] of some data. InterViews includes a set of C++ class libraries that support primitive objects (text, images, graphics), composite objects (tiling, stacking, formatting, structured graphics), and user interface objects (button, menu, scrollbar), as well as a drawing editor, a document editor, and an interface builder. The implementation runs on top of the X Window System and has been ported to most Unix platforms. InterViews is freely available in the same manner as X is from MIT. For more details, you might try looking at the paper about glyphs in the January's X Conference proceedings. Most of the papers about InterViews are available on-line via anonymous ftp from interviews.stanford.edu in the pub/doc subdirectory. -- comp.archives file verification interviews.stanford.edu total 13567 -rw-r--r-- 1 10 22 5075299 Feb 9 1990 2.6-and-g++.tar.Z -rw-r--r-- 1 10 22 174184 Feb 10 1990 2.6-diffs-from-beta drwxrwxr-x 2 24 22 512 Jan 25 21:21 2.6-fixes -rw-r--r-- 1 10 22 6539 Feb 26 1990 2.6-new-files.shar drwxr-xr-x 2 10 22 512 Apr 6 1990 2.6-split -rw-r--r-- 1 10 22 352431 Feb 26 1990 2.6-src-X11.shar -rw-r--r-- 1 10 22 1787535 Feb 9 1990 2.6.tar.Z -rw-r--r-- 1 10 22 2806665 Jan 28 09:23 3.0-alpha.tar.Z drwxr-xr-x 2 10 22 512 Jan 28 13:31 3.0-split drwxrwxrwx 3 10 22 1024 Mar 22 05:53 contrib drwxrwxr-x 4 10 22 1024 Mar 20 09:25 doc drwxrwxr-x 3 10 22 512 Feb 2 10:12 idraw drwxr-xr-x 2 80 22 512 Mar 26 21:24 inclink -rw-r--r-- 1 10 22 371117 Jan 10 09:42 iv-mail.Z -rw-r--r-- 1 10 22 261659 Jul 25 1990 iv-requests.Z -rw-r--r-- 1 10 22 25411 Sep 17 1990 iv-sponsors.ps.Z -rw-r--r-- 1 1020 22 2924435 Apr 11 13:49 prebeta-2.tar.Z found interviews ok interviews.stanford.edu:/pub/
