(Our speaker has supplied the following)

  Graphical User Interfaces, the toolkits to help build them, and
  interface developer tools have become essential parts of the UNIX
  environment.

  This talk reviews Sun's latest release of its X11 based windowing
  system, OpenWindows Version 3 and the deskset tools that are part
  of the package.

  This talk then focuses on the three Sun GUI toolkits, XView,
  OLIT, and TNT/NeWS.  Each of these toolkits address different
  classes of applications and interface design and will be examined
  in some detail and then contrasted against each other.  The
  Developer's Guide, or "Graphical User Interface Design Editor", a
  tool useful in developing a user interface will be looked at,
  along with its relationship to the three windowing toolkits.

  A recap of the Sun X11 graphics packages and performance related
  topics such as Direct Graphics Access, PEX, and others will be
  presented.

  Win Strickland holds a B.S. and M.S. in Information and Computer
  Science from Georgia Tech.  He was employed at Georgia Tech for
  13 years primarily as a member of the research faculty of the
  Information and Computer Science Department.  His background
  includes extensive work with the UNIX operating system including
  kernel level programming, applications programming, and systems
  and network administration.  Part of his responsibilities while
  at Georgia Tech included managing gatech.edu as an Internet e-
  mail and USENET news hub.  He has been actively involved with
  ACM, including working with student chapters and has directed the
  National Scholastic Programming Contest.  Currently he is working
  with Sun Microsystems as a Systems Engineer in the Atlanta
  District Office.

Thanks to the efforts of one of our members, there will be a
showing at 6:45pm of Tape 4 of the AT&T video tape series:  "System
Administration for UNIX System V Release 4.0" It will cover Utility
Package Administration (lp spooler, uucp, ...)  The viewing time is
thirty minutes, which will leave time for a few questions and
answers.

It is with great pride that we recognize our Corporate Sponsors.
Being aware of the contributions made by the AUUG membership to the
UNIX community, these firms, both large and small, have made a
commitment to provide financial assistance for defraying the
operating expenses of AUUG.  We are both pleased and grateful for
their sponsorship, and hope that they will continue to support AUUG
in the days to come.
