The other day someone important (in the CIS dept) stopped me in the hall and
said "Don't we have Motif on our HPs"? To which I responded no, but we will
when we get and install HP-UX 7.0. Then he said "I think we should choose
one set of windowing tools and put them on all our machines. Why don't you 
and the others discuss this and let me know which."  So I went looking for
the right place to ask the question on the net and here I find this thread
looking me right in the face. So, Bob, Amanda, anyone. Do you have pointers
to a real comparison of the choices, both from a technical and political
(which one will survive) point of view on where to place our emphasis. The
person I mentioned seems real serious about having a SINGLE set of tools
rather than several. I figured I would ask here first and then talk with
others at work after I had a better handle on this. It really needs to be
a dispassionate comparison, no OSF bashing. 8-) Forgive me if this is old
hat to some or all of you.

Thanks,
