Can anyone give me any information on the OLGX library which was on the R4 distribution tape? I am working on an object oriented toolkit which will have an Open Look look and feel and am thinking of using the OLGX library to do the Open Look drawing. The toolkit will use Xlib to interface to X so wrapping around XView is not an option. Also can someone direct me to any documents which describe the Open Look design phiosophy. That is the document telling tool makers what they need to have to ne OpenLook compliant. I do not have ftp access but am connected to uunet.

The definitive documents are those published by Addison Wesley. You get them when you buy OpenWindows, but you can also order them from the publisher and, I imagine, from bookstores. The documents are: o OPEN LOOK Graphical User Interface Application Style Guidelines by Sun and AT&T Describes how applications should look and feel. o OPEN LOOK Graphical User Interface Functional Specification Describes how the interface is to look and feel. If you are developing a toolkit, this is the one in which you are most interested. > > Thanks > > -- > Frank Caggiano INTERNET: fcaggian@kepler.com > Kepler Financial Management, Ltd.
