Perhaps there is a new version out, but when we evaluated it about 6 months ago we were a little disappointed. All of the tools seemed to be 1/2 finished... though I suspect that this is only because they compare poorly to the standard of equivallent tools on the Mac. The thing that really bugged us was the way the promotional literature misled us into assuming that it would run fine under OpenWindows. In fact, what we got was a SunView implementation of an OpenLook conformant-ish interface, which would kind-of run in that kind-of SunView compatibilty mode which OpenWindows kind-of has. ------------- David Lau-Kee, Canon Research Centre Europe, 17/20 Frederick Sanger Rd, Surrey Research Park, Guildford, Surrey, GU25YD, UK. laukee@canon.co.uk, laukee@canon.uucp, ..!mcsun!ukc!uos-ee!canon!laukee Tel: +44 (0) 483 574325 Fax: +44 (0) 483 574360
