I am seeking recommendations for a developer's tool to use with Motif. I have only just started working with X-windows, but have already had a false start, since up till now I've been using Open Look on a Sun Sparcstation. We are now having to switch over to Motif though. Previously I had been using Sun OpenWindows Developer's Guide (DevGuide), which allowed easy creation of user interfaces through clicking icons, and then generating the code itself. A similar kind of package for Motif is what I'm looking for, preferably creating C++ code. I saw the post on Interface Architecture from HP, and if anyone else has any recommendations, I'd very much appreciate them.

This is a User Interface builder for Motif which we have been shipping for almost a year now. There is a simple, but powerful interface - you click on Motif icons, building up a widget hierarchy graphically. At the same time, the interface you are building can be exercised and checked. When you have the interface you want, you generate C. The C only requires X and Motif libraries.

I too would like to find out what ``Interface Builder'' tools (allowing you to graphically assemble your app interface) are available for Motif/X---if you know of any, please reply directly to me, and I will summarize the results. Even better would be a pointer to a review of such tools. For example, I just saw a new one called JAM, from JYACC, Inc, advertised in the most recent issue of SunExpert (the one with brains on the front; the add is in the new products section). If you know, hit ``r'' now to reply. Thanks. -- Barry Merriman UCLA Dept. of Math UCLA Inst. for Fusion and Plasma Research barry@math.ucla.edu (Internet)
