I heard some folks out in California--Scripps I think--put together
a package that uses the XView library. I would actually like to get a line
on this myself to see if it will compile and run on a Silicon Graphics machine
now that these machines run a decent X server.
Anyone have any info on this package? Perhaps someone at Scripps?
