Ok, ok, thanks for all the mail regarding Macintosh vs. X windows.  I
feel like I tried to get a drink of water at a fire hydrant.  Let me
refine my question a little: Macintosh vs. XView.  Most of the
complaints about X had to do with the grunginess of Xlib and Xt.  Can
anyone compare the Mac Toolbox to Xview?

Also, for those of you who have developed Mac applications that had to
send and receive data to/from Unix machines, how did you do it?  How
well did it work?  One person in our group has mentioned the
possibility of using Hypercard to create a script-type thing to
automate the transfer with Telnet or Kermit or Red Ryder or something.
Has anybody done that?  How reliable was it?

John.
