InterViews is a system for building and using interactive software.  Like most
interactive systems, InterViews is "object-oriented" in that components such
as windows, button,s menus, and documents are active elements with inherited
behavior.  The name InterViews comes from the idea of a user interface object
presenting an [inter]active [view] of some data.

InterViews includes a set of C++ class libraries that support primitive objects
(text, images, graphics), composite objects (tiling, stacking, formatting, structured
graphics), and user interface objects (button, menu, scrollbar), as well as
a drawing editor, a document editor, and an interface builder.  The implementation
runs on top of the X Window System and has been ported to most Unix platforms.
InterViews is freely available in the same manner as X is from MIT.

For more details, you might try looking at the paper about glyphs
in the January's X Conference proceedings.  Most of the papers about 
InterViews are available on-line via anonymous ftp from interviews.stanford.edu
in the pub/doc subdirectory.
