[comp.windows.open-look] When will tNt be supported by SUN and OpenWindows

gks@manta.dsto.oz.au (Grant Schwarz) (11/21/90)

I am currently using LiteWindows under OpenWindows 2.0 FCS, for frame
management and graphics under NeWS. An unsupported version of tNt is 
included, but it is difficult to use and very slow. Does anybody know
when tNt will be released in supported form ? What about a generation
tool from Developer's GUIDE ? Will this all happen under version 3.0 ?
Can anybody from SUN respond ?

			Thanks.

I don't (yet) know about the sloness, but after small experiments I don't
fond tNt very difficult to use. Although you really need the manual in order
to use tNt. The manual is not very high quality, but Sun should still
distribitute it to users. It have helped me a lot.

   What about a generation tool from Developer's GUIDE ?
The code generation from .G-files of GUIDE should be quite easy. If I only
had time would do it my self.

   Can anybody from SUN respond ?
Hoping that, too!
