I apologise for not getting the list of XView ports into the FAQ - I shall try
and do it after I get back from this Seybold thing I see looming ahead :-)

Here is what I have.

Lee


I am compiling a list of all XView ports and OpenWindows ports, whether
free, ftp'able or commercial.

Ideally, I'd like to see a repository of binary libs, ports, notes, etc.,
somewhere on the Internet.  Any offers?

If you mail me details I'll make it a regular alt.toolkits.xview posting,
and perhaps list them in the comp.windows.open-look FAQ.

I do not know of any OpenWindows 3 ports apart from the Sun SPARC binary.
Please tell me there are more!  Presumably all of these would be available
commercially, since there are royalties involved.

I am not bothering to mention olvwm or olwm ports, as there are probably too
many to count by now!  I will list them only if they are available by ftp.

Here is my current list...

OpenWindows 3 Ports
    Sun: SPARC, SunOS 4.1
    Sun: SPARC, Solaris 2 (actually 3.0.1?)
    others: none so far...

There are said (by Sun) to be over 35 ports of OpenWindows either
available now or in progress.  Contact Anthony Flynn at Open Vistas
International (anthony@ovi.com) for more information.
HP, DEC and IBM ports may already have been announced, although Sun seemed
a little confused about who was going to make them available when I asked.


XView 3 ports

What: XView 3
System: A/UX
Porter: lmj@uncompaghre.jax.org (Lou Jones)
Ftp: encyclo.jax.org
Notes:
    The libraries and utilities (olwm, cmdtool, etc) are available for
    anonymous ftp from encyclo.jax.org. I used gcc 2.1 to compile the
    sources. If there is enough interest, I can make the diffs
    available.

What: XView 2
System: Stellar GS100 (Stardent 1000) and Stardent 1500 & 3000
Porter: arvai@scripps.edu (Andy Arvai)
Ftp: perutz.scripps.edu (137.131.152.27) in the pub/xview directory
Notes:
    Stardent is now Kubota Pacific (KPC)

What: XView 3
System: SysVR4/i386
Porter: dawes@physics.su.OZ.AU (David Dawes)
Ftp: ftp.physics.su.oz.au, suphys.physics.su.oz.au  /Esix_4/x11r5 hierarchy
Notes:
    His patches were for Esix 4.0.3 but should work on DELL, ISC and Intel
    SVR4 with no worries. The files are README.xview3 and xview3.diff.Z.

What: XView 3
System: HP 720
Porter: (?)
Ftp: tesla.ucd.ie [137.43.24.44], /pub
Notes:
    Includes HP 720 build, HP XView patch file, Xvgr.

Porter: tmcconne@sedona.intel.com (Tom McConnell)
Compiler: bsdcc
Ftp: export.lcs.mit.edu:contrib/xview3/Fixes/xview3_rs6k_unofficial.patch.Z
Notes:
    There is still a problem with tty support for the RS/6000. For
    instance, the cmdtool will not work. Still, most everything else works.
    For those of you who have already installed my previous patch, I have
    put a separate patch for just the shared library problem. This file is
    contrib/xview3/Fixes/xview3_rs6k_XView_lib.patch.Z.

What: XView 3
System: DECStation/Ultrix
Porter: dscott@ittc.wec.com (Dave Scott)
Ftp: media-lab.media.mit.edu:~ftp/xview3-ultrix.4.2-mips.tar.Z
Notes:
    Let me stress that this is *not* fully tested, but seems to work
    pretty well.  Please let me know about any problems you find.
    Problems I already know about:
	Large buttons under *any* non-Sun X server (non-xnews; i.e. any
	standard MIT X11R[45] server) have the bottom of the button
	chopped off.  We're working on this one. :-)

    They made XView 2.0 libraries.  I haven't seen them advertising
    XView 3.0 libraries yet.
