   Well, InterViews is a C++ toolkit whilst Athena, Motif, etc. are C based
   so I don't really see how they can be compared.

   I know of only one other C++ based X toolkit and that is ET++ which is
   also free. I would be interested to hear of any others that are
   available.

Why can't you compare them?  You can still use the C widgets from C++.
It's more a question of functionality.  Does the widget set allow me
to write real applications at a high level of abstraction.  I have
been looking at InterViews and so far it seems like it might do the
job.  There is an example program and a couple tutorials available by
anonymous ftp at interviews.stanford.edu for anyone who might be
interested.  I would like to hear from someone who has tried a couple
of toolkits to explain the pros and cons of each.  It's pointless to
learn half a dozen toolkits, when one will do.  The question is which
one?  Too many standards just makes life unnecessarily difficult.
