Xview is built directly on top of the Xlib libraries. The Xview toolkit is available in source form on the MIT tape (contrib side) along with olwm. The Xview toolkit is quite a bit easier to learn than is the Motif toolkit (or the Athena Widgets or OLIT for that matter). Xview is not built on a proprietary intrinsics library, just without the Xt libs. jarober@aplcen.apl.jhu.edu
