 = The OPEN LOOK and XView CD-ROM (Archived)
 
 Lifetimes ago, I wrote a book for O'Reilly Media called

+For those unfamiliar with the history, OPEN LOOK was a very good

-. NeWS, the Network Extensible Window System, originated by James Gosling

-. OLIT, the OPEN LOOK Intrinsics Toolkit, based on the Unix X Toolkit;
-. XView, by Sun Microsystems, based on the programing paradigm of

 Of these three, to my knowledge only XView was ever released
 in source form, certainly so at the time.
