Sunview 2 is a sunview compatible toolkit that runs on X.11 (or X.11/NeWS). One guy I talked to had ported View 2 (as they like to call it) to a microvax and was running textedit. It is about 95% the same as sunview 1.x and the few changes can be done using global search and replace. It is also a full implementation of the Open Look spec. So and re-compiles give you push pins and the other stuff. Now for the bad news. View 2 will not be available to developers for 8-9 months. (ouch) Sun is considering making the toolkit code available to developers so it can be ported to other platforms running X.11. Rob Savoye Topologix, Inc. 4860 Ward Rd.
