Here's a strong vote for XView 2.0 or higher on 2.0 Amix rather than the AT&T based OL libs. Any seconds out there? -Rob (The XView fan) -- Rob Healey rhealey@digibd.com Digi International (DigiBoard) Eden Prairie, MN (612) 943-9020

I vote for ATT's OLIT instead of XView. XView is not Xt based and is therefore not as extensible as OLIT. XView was created in order to ease the port of older sunview applications, this is not a consideration for amiga users. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ William Brandsdorfer | UUCP: !uunet!shearson.com!wbrand Lehman Brothers | ARPA: wbrand@shearson.com 388 Greenwich St. | Voice: (212) 464-3835 New York, N.Y. 10013 | Yelling: "Hey Willy" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I would say that, due to the very large numbers of SunView applications, and now of XView applications, having XView available on the Amiga should be very important for Amiga owners since it makes it possible for venders to port their Sun/XView programs to the Amiga as well as the Sun. Also, from what I've gathered on the Net, many programmers find XView easier to use than OLIT. Of course what I'd really like to see is for Commodore to license OI from Solbourne. OI is a C++ class based toolkit for OpenLook and Motif programming. BTW, I'm not saying dump OLIT. Keep it as well.
