In response to Steve Billings's request for information pertaining to
Visix Galaxy:

We just finished an evaluation of Galaxy for our next major development effort.

Their support forn i18n appears to be pretty good. I just read the documentation
for this area but they have support for binding of message tables as part of the
executable or binding at load time.

We have to support several UNIX platforms, OSF, VMS, Windows NT, and maybe
Windows 3.x WITH the same set of source code. This is an area that under certain
limitations Galaxy covers very well.
Our environment requires multi-tasking, multi-threading, and shared memory type
of applications. Galaxy just didn't quite provide the OS independence we were
looking for.
The GUI portion has its merits but doesn't quite do all that Motif does so it
was short in this area as well for us. All in all it has its place in many
different applications its just that ours is far too demanding in terms of
required OS support and GUI.
I would recommend further investigation if you are looking for platform
independence for an application. They also have a usefully Graphical builder if
that's what your interested in.
The big draw back to evaluating Galaxy is the policy of manditory training to
get an evaluation copy. We paid one of their field reps to come in for three
days of on-sight training. We had five people in the class.

Good luck.
