Does anyone know of a Motif GUI-biulder package that runs on Apollo, SGI or IBM RS/6000? -- Mike Peterson, System Administrator, U/Toronto Department of Chemistry E-mail: system@alchemy.chem.utoronto.ca Tel: (416) 978-7094 Fax: (416) 978-8775

These are all for the RS6000. IBM - They are working on a product but it is not yet available. We could not get much info on this on eyet. TeleUSE - An interesting and expensive product. It runs on a number of different platforms, including RS6000 and Sun. Kind of strange to see the motif look on the Sun for the first time. Programming is done in a rule based language they call D. It outputs C code, that makes it attractive for portability. ezX - requires a run-time library for other machines that need to run the executable. I believe this can be exported freely, but I am not 100% sure. XBuild - writes C code directly, code is portable without requiring run-time libraries, source code is available for additional $'s. XFaceMaker2 - Programming is done in a proprietary language, but there is a C code generation option, requires libraries. These are the only products we've found that will run on the RS6000 and generate a motif interface. If you would like vendor names and addresses I am sure I can dig them up. Another member of our group took a closer look and can provide more detailed information if needed. Some of the above comments are his, in fact. -- Dale A.
