[comp.windows.x.motif] porting MS-Windows 3.0 interface to Motif

arm@sps.com (Annette Myjak) (12/07/90)

(and vice versa!!!)

i know that in comp.windows.x(.motif) there was a bit of discussion about
this very subject, but at the time, i didn't need to know so i didn't save
the messages.

a recent request for some kind net soul to forward me this discussion thread
yielded only requests for me to forward the discussion on to other interested
parties (alas, no forwarded discussion thread was received).

therefore, i'd like to open this discussion thread again.

question 1:  if you have developed a motif interface for your application,
	     and you want to port it to run in ms-windows, what's involved?
	     (problems, headaches, tricks of the trade, how difficult . . .)

question 2:  reverse of question 1 -- what's involved in porting an
             ms-windows interface to motif?

assistance in understanding what's involved and how difficult these ports
would be is greatly appreciated in advance.

Imagesoft have been promising to release Motif version of
CommonView (windows object library) for some time now. CommonView comes
in DLL form. It captures the commonalities amoung MSwindows, Presentation
Manager, and hopefully, Motif. Their package comes with Glockenspeil C++.
