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.
