Subject: Applications: Application Builders

    DevGuide 3.0 (from Sun) [commercial]
	lets you use Drag and Drop to create an OPEN LOOK application with
	XView, OLIT, UIT or TNT.  Very easy to use.

    XVT (from XVT Systems) [commercial]
	Lets you write code to a common subset of OPEN LOOK, Motif, Microsoft
	Windows, the Macintosh GUI, and even terminals (using curses).	You
	buy an XVT toolkit for each environment.  The XVT programmer's
	interface was recently selected by an IEEE committee as the basis for
	a portable GUI standard.

    ExoCode (from Expert Object) [commercial]
	was one of the first third-party GUI builders to support OPEN LOOK,
	using the XView toolkit.  It was reviewed in SunExpert magazine
	in 1990.

    uib (from Solbourne) [commercial]
	uib is a user interface builder which supports building applications
	that support both OPEN LOOK and Motif.	It generates code for
	Solbourne's OI C++ toolkit and can use user created subclasses.
	It is available from Solbourne.
	Contact Debra Frances debra@Solbourne.COM, +1 303 678-4626

    There are OPEN LOOK versions of dirt and wcl either in progress or
    already available.

Subject: Applications: Graphing Tools

Free Software: dstool
    XView-based program that plots Lorenz Attractors and other chaotic things
    in real time.  Also includes a mathematical expression interpreter.
    ftp: macomb.tn.cornell.edu

Free Software: ACE/gr --  graph and analysis package
    ftp amb4.ese.ogi.edu [129.95.20.76] in pub/acegr.
    Handles x-y scatterplots, lineplots, bargraphs, FFT analysis, running
    averages, polynomial fits, etc.
    BUG: can be compiled with OSF/Motif as well as under the OPEN LOOK UI.

It turns out that Xmgr has moved [but what is it? - Lee]
I found xmgr-2.07.tar.Z in /CCALMR/pub/acegr on amb4.ese.ogi.edu

name_finder
    ftp.eng.auburn.edu [131.204.10.91] pub/name_finder1.2.tar.Z.
    patch: pub/name_finder1.2.compile.patch1.

    name_finder was orginally designed as a replacement for the name finder
    missing from the OpenWindows Version 3.0 mailtool.  It has since grown
    into a tool for several electronic mail related activities including:
    interaction with local ListServ robots for handling mail lists,
    requesting Full.Name style mail aliases from your local PostMaster, and
    providing mailbox status information ala finger(1).

    name_finder is written in C++ (cfront 2.1) using gxv++ version 1.1.
    If you don't have access to a C++ compiler, a precompiled sparc
    executable is included in the distribution.

    Requirements: OpenWindows 3.0, C++ 2.1 or greater

bibcard	(v 1.01)	LaTeX Bibliography Manager	???
    ftp.eunet.ch in software/text/TeX/bibcard-1.0.tar.Z


xftp	interface to ftp.
    compiles under (at least) Ultrix, AIX 3.1.5, AIX 3.2, Convex OS, SunOS,
    Unicos 6.1.4, and IRIX.  Uses OLIT.
    BUG: can also use OSF/Motif and Athena widgets.
    ftp: ftp.chpc.utexas.edu as file /packages/X/xftp.0.1.alpha.tar.Z.
    contact: Bill Jones jones@chpc.utexas.edu




olvwm
    Olvwm is a version of olwm that manages a `virtual desktop' (hence the
    `v' in its name).  It shows a little map on the screen, with the
    currently displayed area represented by a little rectangle.	 You can
    move around by dragging the rectangle or with the arrow keys.  This
    lets you run several clients (applications) and move the display around
    from one to the other.  Olvwm was derived from the OpenWindows 3.0 olwm
    by Scott Oaks; you need to have XView 3.0 to compile it.
    Get olvwm from an ftp site such as export.lcs.mit.edu (in the contrib
    directory; there are two patches).

    bibcard (ftp from iam.unibe.ch [130.92.64.10]; /X11/Bibcard-1.0.tar.Z)
	an OPEN LOOK font end to BibTeX.
	Includes source (needs XView) and SPARC binary for SunOS 4.1.1.
    contool (ftp from export.lcs.mit.edu)
	a special-purpose console-window that can filter out or take special
	action on specified console messages; written by Chuck Musciano.
    ftptool (ftp from export.lcs.mit.edu)
	an OPEN LOOK front-end to ftp (it uses XView)
    hexsweeper (email lee@sq.com, include Hexsweeper in Subject!)
	a version of VMS/Mac/MS-Windows minesweeper (for OpenWindows 3 only)
    Hyperlook, from the Turing Institute
	Hypertext package written entirely in NeWS.  Runtime from turing.com
	in /pub or ftp.uu.net (graphics/NeWS/HyperLook1.5-runtime.tar.Z)
    Maestro (ftp from sioux.stanford.edu)
	Multimedia authoring tools, including support for sound, text & video.
    Spider (Included in OpenWindows under `demo' and `share/src')
	A patience-style card game with two packs of cards and
	excellent bitmap cards.	 I suggest recompiling to allow the cards to
	have rounded edges.
    Xblackjack (ftp from export.lcs.mi.edu as contrib/xblackjack-2.1.tar.Z)
	A MOTIF/OLIT based tool constructed to get you ready for the casino.
    xvnews (ftp from export.lcs.mit.edu)
	An xview-based newsreader for netnews.
    xvttool (ftp from titan.rice.edu:sun-source)
	A vt100/102 emulator, in both XView and SunView versions.  Includes
	buttons for the PF keys, etc.

Other commercial applications:
	Contact SunSoft (or Sun) and ask for the Catalyst OPEN LOOK guide,
	which lists over 200 pages of applications.

	You can also get the free CDWare CD/ROM, which contains demo versions
	of several popular OPEN LOOK applications.  Once you've done this,
	you can simply contact the vendor concerned to have the license
	upgraded from demo, and receive the full product documentation.

    pageview (included with OpenWindows)
	Only runs under OpenWindows.  No Type 1 font support yet.  A good
	thing to try with colour OpenWindows 3 is pageview -aa -dpi 150.
    xps (included with OpenWindows 2.0 under demo and share/src)
	Only runs under OpenWindows 2.
    psh (included with OpenWindows)
	simple interface to NeWS and the OpenWindows server
    Note that pageview, xps and psh are simply front ends to the X11/NeWS
    server in OpenWindows, and thus won't run on an X terminal or other
    non-OpenWindows server.

    ralpage (ftp from export.lcs.mit.edu in contrib/clients)
	Crispin Goswell's PostScript interpreter, much hacked.
	Not OPEN LOOK compliant.  No Type 1 font support.
	There are other versions of this called `xps', `postscript', etc.;
	don't confuse this `xps' with the one mentioned above.
    ghostscript (from the Free Software Foundation)
	Supports Type 1 fonts, but does not include any.  Not OPEN LOOK based.

Subject: XView and OpenWindows ports


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.
There was said to have been a new announcement about OpenWindows 3 source
availability this month, but I didn't see it if there was.


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

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. :-)
[actually this seems *not* to be Dave Scott's port; please accept my apologies
 for listing this incorrectly.  A correct entry will appear as soon as I get
 the necessary information.  -- Lee]

System: VAX/VMS
Porter: TGV Inc (?)
