Not exactly. There are quite a few products out there which currently use these toolsets as the basis of their Unix support. Wind River's Tornado is one, there are quite few more I've encountered under Solaris. It seems to be a trend, for better or worse. I've had more than one vendor cite the lack of these toolsets for FreeBSD as a factor limiting their support. > For the other's, it's supporting standdards, having Motif/CDE/whatever > toolkit available and standard supported easily is the key. I'd argue that Motif/CDE has done more to harm the Unix marketplace than anything else, not counting Windows (but that's another troll :-) Cheers, Jerry Hicks To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
