Qualix is working on implementing the Xview API on top of Motif.  It
seems to us that there are an enormous number of products built on the
easy-to-use Xview API and transitioning them to the...ahem... more
complex API of Motif is not going to be easy.  However, we think we can
implement the Xview API on top of Motif and are working on doing so.
Our porduct will let developers continue to use the Xview API for the
indefinite future and still get a Motif applications out of it.

If you think your organization would be interested in such a
thing, I would be interested in your answers to the following
questions (email to me, please - dshaker@qualix.com):

	I think an Xview API for Motif is:
		_ Brilliant, it will save me loads of time. Xview forever!
		_ Good idea, will you support Openlook Xview, too?
		_ OK, but it is a short term fix.
		_ A stupid idea. What a hoser!

	What OS version would you want this to operate on:
		_ SunOS 4.1.x
		_ Solaris 2.1 for Sparc
		_ HPUX for 9000/700
		_ AIX for RS/6000
		_ SCO
		_ Decstation/Ultrix
		_ Univel Unix
		_ Something else:_______________________

	How soon do you need to get it before it is no longer useful to you?
		_  I need it yesterday.
		_  I need it by the end of July.
		_  I need it by the end of the September.
		_  I need it before my customers start to really use Solaris 2
			and I think that will be__________________.
		_  I need it by the end of 1993.
		_  I don't really need it.

	If you think your company would use it, how much time do you 
		think it would save your group in development effort:
		_ Hours of labor
		_ Days of labor
		_ Weeks of labor
		_ Months of labor
		_ Years of labor
		_ Lifetimes of labor

	How much should it cost?____________________________

Thanks for the answers!  Let's hope this works.
