- XView Programming Manual
- By Dan Heller
-
- The one thing that outside observers of the X phenomenon always ask is:
- "Where are the applications?" The answer: under development.
- But the fact is that there are already over 2100 vertical applications
- for SunView, Sun's proprietary windowing system. These applications can
- be ported to X with a minimum of effort using Sun's new XView toolkit.
- XView is an easy-to-use toolkit, not just for Sun developers. Yes, XView
- is available from Sun as part of Sun's Open Windows package. (Buyers of
- Open Windows will receive the XView Programming Manual as standard
- documentation.) However, XView is also available on MIT's R4 tape for
- all three Sun workstation families and DECstation 3100. XView is also a
- part of System V Release 4.
-
- If you are wondering if XView is for you, ordering this book is a good
- place to start. The manual provides complete information on the XView
- toolkit, from concepts to creating XView applications, and includes a
- reference section, covering all of the XView functions and attributes.
