- One you really missed was Accent Toolkit. This was shown at the recent
- Sun Users' Group meeting in San Jose CA. The product apparently does
- several things (singly and in combination):
-
- - converts Motif-based programs to OpenLook-based programs. Saw a
- demo of several LARGE programs converted. Impressive! And no
- sending $$$ to OSF for Motif licenses.

- of whether to "look like" Motif or to "look like" OpenLook.
