They *do* use Xt (although AT&T were the ones who wrote the bulk of the
toolkit in question); see OLIT (and MoOLIT).

XView's non-Xt basis *does* serve at least one purpose; XView is, to a
first approximation, what you get when you attack the SunView source
with a chainsaw and turn it into an X toolkit, so it's somewhat familiar
to SunView programmers, and can be a reasonable toolkit to use when
converting many SunView applications to X applications.  There also
appear to be many people who prefer it to various Xt-based toolkits....
