Need information on SunView 2.0 and compatibility

[Chuck Musciano]

My question: what cognitive analysis was done on Open Look?

Isn't this great?!  Design the interface, release the interface, call the
interface the "standard", and then decide to test it a little bit.  The
more I hear about Open Look, the less I like.

Now that OSF has picked some variant of Presentation Manager, isn't the
future looking bright?  Open Look from ATT/Sun, or PM from everybody else.
Sigh...  That X version of SunView is looking better all the time.

BTW, I was informed by someone at Sun that SunView binaries will run under
the X11/NeWS merge, so all is not lost.
