Just when I think I understand IV 3.1 well enough to begin a project, I
stumble upon ET++ out of Switzerland.  It didn't come with a whole lot 
of documentation, and it was hard to get a real sense of it.  However,
it's making me wonder which package might be the best to use for a
project started from scratch.  In comparison to Interviews, it seems
like ET++ has some advantages and disadvantages:

Advantages:

     o	  Built-in programming environment which allows you to view all
	  instances of your classes during run-time

     o	  No use of multiple inheritance;  All classes rooted from a single
	  class

     o	  Seems simple compared to the Interviews/Unidraw combination

Disadvantages:

     o	  Only runs under SunView and OpenWindows at this time.  (Could
	  be a big disadvantage, as I haven't figured out how to run
	  OpenWindows / NeWS clients on the Sun using a MacX server.)

     o    I don't know anyone who has used ET++

     o	  Interviews seems more powerful/richer than ET++, if more complex.


In short, I'm still clueless.  Does anyone have some experience with each
of the packages?  Any comments?
