                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I stand corrected; while Verity no longer uses XVT, it does not use OI either.

I apologize for the error, which stemmed from a poorly-recalled private
conversation.  Thanks to Mike Edmunds for the correction.

    While it is true that we're no longer using XVT, it is not true that
    we've switched to OI.  Our X product is and always has been written
    directly on top of Motif.  XVT had been used for our Windows and PM
    products, but future releases will use those platforms' native
    toolkits directly.
