X-Sun-Spots-Digest: Volume 7, Issue 28, message 1 of 13

At the Sun catalyst conference a few weeks ago they anounced "Sunview
2.0".  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.
