We are also looking for a window toolkit for user interfaces. The primary feature we are looking for is the ability to quickly develop complex applications. We have used an internally developed package that lets you interactively lay out panels with buttons, sliders, etc. Unfortunately, this isn't adequate. We *Would* like an interactive, object oriented environment. We would also like to have a somewhat portable window system, running on common workstations. (Sun, Apollo, DEC, HP, Symbolics). The Symbolic's Presentation Manager is nice, but is too text oriented. Common Windows is close, but lacking in some respects. (i.e. no control panels). NeWS has some advantages, but without a toolkit it is difficult to develop complex applications quickly. Are there plans for a DEC, HP or Apollo port of NeWS from a third party? Does Apollo's openDialogue provide more than an interactive panel layout facility? What other packages are available? Followups to comp.windows.misc. I will summarize email responses, etc. -- Bruce G. Barnett <barnett@ge-crd.ARPA> <barnett@steinmetz.UUCP> uunet!steinmetz!barnett
