Prior to Motif, Sun developed and distributed the Xview toolkit. Today, few developers use Xview and Motif is the dominant commercial user interface toolkit on Linux and UNIX systems. If your XView-based user interface was built with Sun’s DevGuide GUI Builder, ICS offers a direct migration path. (See question that follows). If your GUI was not build with DevGuide, or the DevGuide save files (GIL) are no longer available, there is still an alternative. ICS has a tool that can recreate GIL files from applications built with Xview. Ask your ICS representatives for details or email info@ics.com.
