InterViews is a system for building and using interactive software. Like most interactive systems, InterViews is "object-oriented" in that components such as windows, button,s menus, and documents are active elements with inherited behavior. The name InterViews comes from the idea of a user interface object presenting an [inter]active [view] of some data. InterViews includes a set of C++ class libraries that support primitive objects (text, images, graphics), composite objects (tiling, stacking, formatting, structured graphics), and user interface objects (button, menu, scrollbar), as well as a drawing editor, a document editor, and an interface builder. The implementation runs on top of the X Window System and has been ported to most Unix platforms. InterViews is freely available in the same manner as X is from MIT. For more details, you might try looking at the paper about glyphs in the January's X Conference proceedings. Most of the papers about InterViews are available on-line via anonymous ftp from interviews.stanford.edu in the pub/doc subdirectory.
