Several people have asked me for info regarding HP's InterViews product.
Here is what the product manager sent me.

**********************************************************************

Hewlett Packard Company recently introduced HP InterViews Plus, a 
library of reusable components for accelerating the development of OSF/Motif
graphical user interfaces (GUIs).

InterViews Plus is based on the InterViews library, a research project with
participation from Stanford University and Silicon Graphics Corp.  

InterViews Plus is an object-oriented class library that consists of over
150 pretested classes of interactive objects, such as push buttons, dialog
boxes and scroll bars.  Software developers can use these objects to 
construct custom user interfaces much faster than they could by using
the OSF/Motif toolkit.

Software developers who use C++ and object-oriented programming techniques
can use InterViews Plus to reduce OSF/Motif user interface development time.
HP estimates that software developers can spend up to 70 percent of their
total programming time developing the GUI.

**************************************************************************

HEWLETT PACKARD'S ENHANCEMENTS TO THE INTERVIEWS PLUS LIBRARY INCLUDE:

** Full support for OSF/Motif including:
     -  Keyboard Traversal
     -  Event Translation
     -  Menu mnemonics
     -  Menu accelerators
     -  Predefined Motif dialog boxes
     -  Option Menu
     -  Scale Interactor
     -  Customization through X Resources
     -  Cut, copy and paste
     -  Virtual keysym support

** ICCCM support

** Complete Documentation
     - Programmer's Guide 
     - Reference Manual of man pages

** HP Support

** Video-based training

**************************************************************************

Because InterViews Plus is fully object-oriented, developers can extend 
the library to provide new user interface classes or compositions of classes 
through inheritance.  They can then build future applications with these 
blocks rather than building the GUI components from scratch each time.  
In addition, debugging new programs takes less time since the code has 
already been tested.

U.S. List Prices and Availability
---------------------------------
The InterViews Plus library is currently orderable for HP 9000 systems and 
Sun SPARCstations at $4950 per developer.  Both versions are expected to 
ship in the summer of 1992.
