Hello,

	This is a general question. I would like to know what are the pros
and cons of using X and some other 4GL for developing software, especially in 
terms of GUI aspects and maintainance of the software.



The Scenario for those who like to know more:

	We have Ingres 4GL and Motif-X environment. We developed a small
prototype for DBMS, which is great in Ingres 4GL. And we have lot of
experience on Motif-X.

	Now we are planning to do a project in coming few months which is
a fullfledged database system. The decision has to be made whether the GUI
has to be built on X or Ingres4GL. The views of netters in this regard may
help us to know more about  the pros or cons of both the environments before
jumping into something. Any information in this regard is very appreciated.

Thank you Very much.
