The next 6 messages contain the split postscript for a research paper
comparing the development of an XCMS color editor tool in two rival
technologies: the MIT X Intrinsics and the Interviews/Fresco toolkits.
This work was done at the X Consortium and its authors hope their results
will be entertaining and thought provoking to anybody who cares to read
further.
Of course, if your the kinda guy who just likes to build programs
just ftp ACEvsICE.tar.Z from export.lcs.mit.edu and go for it :-)

Abstract
This paper takes an objective look at developing an application
using the Intrinsic based Athena widgets, and the C++ based InterViews
toolkit. The test application chosen is a color editor that
interprets and sets stimuli values using the X color management system
(Xcms). A view data paradigm was chosen to organize the relationship
between the color displayed, and its representation in the various
color spaces.
