Lancorp Pty Ltd +61 3 283 7800, fax +61 3 629 5801 (Melbourne, Australia) has a product called Presentation Services Manager which gives you PM/Windows-like programming. It runs under Motif, PM, Windows 3, and Mac II. Obviously you only get in general the LCD of facilities, but this extends as far as pixmap- as well as text-handling. They also provide system-independent services interfaces e.g. for file handling, memory management &c. Disclaimer: I wrote some of it. -- Esmond Pitt, Computer Power Group ejp@bohra.cpg.oz
