Specifically: 1. What does it do exactly? (I am told that it allows you to write an application that will run under multiple windowing environments simply by rebuilding with the appropriate versions of XVT for the desired windowing environments). 2. Can you tell me about your experiences with XVT? 3. Where can it be obtained, and how much does it cost? Thanks ---------- Bill Dorfmann dorf!wfd@van-bc.wimsey.bc.ca

Can anyone out there provide some information about the XVT toolkit? Specifically: 1. What does it do exactly? (I am told that it allows you to write an application that will run under multiple windowing environments simply by rebuilding with the appropriate versions of XVT for the desired windowing environments). 2. Can you tell me about your experiences with XVT? 3. Where can it be obtained, and how much does it cost? Thanks ---------- Bill Dorfmann dorf!wfd@van-bc.wimsey.bc.ca

Subject: XVT information please Date: 22 Oct 90 21:08:37 GMT Specifically: 1. What does it do exactly? (I am told that it allows you to write an application that will run under multiple windowing environments simply by rebuilding with the appropriate versions of XVT for the desired windowing environments). XVT: is an API that has drivers for the following window systems. Macintosh MS-Windows OS/2 Presentation Manager X window System Character Screen You write your application using XVT function calls. Link your application to different XVT libraries depending on what window system you want the application to run on. Limitations are the obvious ones, to be portable you must use XVT calls and not the window system specific calls. In many cases the XVT calls will provide the lowest common denominator functionality. (Example, there is no support for hierarchical popup menus.) 2. Can you tell me about your experiences with XVT? None, only read the manual. 3. Where can it be obtained, and how much does it cost?
