	>>>>  OpenWindows Developer's GUIDE Announcement <<<<


The announcement of OpenWindows Developer's GUIDE was made on Monday,
September 25 in conjunction with the announcement of OpenWindows 1.0 FCS.

_________________________________________________________________________

GUIDE is a user interface prototyper for OPEN LOOK applications built
to the XView toolkit.  Utilzing GUIDE a developer can interactively and 
graphically design a user interface by selecting and dragging user interface
components and dropping them in the desired location for the interface design.
The developer can test the "look and feel" of the interface without 
generating code.  When the design is complete, the developer can save the
interface in a file and then have GUIDE generate the XView C code that 
defines the interface.  GUIDE can signicantly reduce the development
time for an application since it eliminates the need to code the interface.  

Utilizing GUIDE the developer can write interfaces which comply to the
OPEN LOOK style.  In addition, applications built to GUIDE will automatically
support the "drag and drop" model of the DeskSet.  GUIDE provides a 
mechanism whereby vendor applications can integrate well with
the DeskSet environment.

your Sun Sales Representative.
