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.
- is also a GUI-development toolkit which permits a runtime choice
of whether to "look like" Motif or to "look like" OpenLook.
Am awaiting more info, but here's how to get more information:
Accent Toolkit from:
National Information Systems, Inc.

NIS was also demo'ing a Project Management System, Accent GraphicVUE, running
on Sun SS2, IPX, SGI, HPUX, etc. boxes in any of OpenLook (OpenWindows) and
Motif.
I want to see xephem (from export.lcs.mit.edu:/contrib) converted! :-)
