[comp.windows.open-look] How to get OLIT 2.5 from Sun

k1w8221@jupiter.tamu.edu (Khalid Sarwar Warraich) (06/15/91)

I have read about OLIT 2.5 on this news group.  Some have said
that they got it from Sun as part of OpenWindows 2.5.  I just
get e-mail from our sales rep., and she tells me that there is
no version of OpenWindows 2.5.

Could someone out there tell me what the situation is?  E-mail
is prefered but I keep up with this group too.

Thanks.

Talk to your Sun sales rep again.  OLIT 2.5 is the widget set only.  If you're
on the appropriate level of support, OLIT 2.5 should be free to you, as an
upgrade of the normal OLIT, which you got with OpenWindows 2.  There is (from
what I hear) no such thing as OpenWindows 2.5.  OLIT 2.5 does NOT include the
X Server, mailtool and similar stuff.  

OpenWindows 3 will include OLIT 3.0, I believe.  That will give you new 
versions of the X Server, etc., plus the OLIT widget set.  From what I hear, 
the widget set changes from OLIT 2.5 to 3.0 will be few.

Hope this helps.  OLIT 2.5 is available now.  We received our copy about a 
month ago, as part of a new purchase.
