Cross Posting:

I am looking for a tool and a paper that addresses the porting of Microsoft
windows to X windows.

The tool would take Microsoft Dialog files (.dlg) and (.rc) files and
generate a UIL on X11 Motif.  Under X windows, HP has a builder called
UIMX.  UIMX can read UIL, and generate C code, or the UIL compiler can be
used directly.  This would provide one method of implementing the
portation.

Another method would be to take the compiled MS (.RES) resource file, and
generate UIL code or C code from the binary interpretation of the .RES file.

Has anyone developed a tool, or investigated this problem?

The application I have is a Microsoft version 2.1 (soon to be version 3.0)
with 200+ dialog boxes.  It is a Network Management application that Runs
with HP Openview Windows.  The port would be to X11 Motif with HP Openview
under UNIX.

Thanks for any help,


Jim Brandt
