794.0. "MIT widgets (Athena)" by 42397::HIRST_SJ (Lean, Mean, Fast) Wed May 17 1989 07:43

    Can anybody tell me if the MIT example widgets are shipped with
    SDC DECwindows, if so how does one access them and if not are they
    available on the net and can they be given to customers.
    
    Thanks

UWS2.1 ships libXaw.a, libXmu.a, and libXt.a, which are the Athena 
Widgets, Athena utility library, and the toolkit intrinsics, 
respectively.

    None of the Athena widgets ship with VMS DECwindows.

Ultrix Worksystem Software version 2.1 (now the latest and the greatest
shipping from SDC).

> Anybody know the procedure for obtaining the Athena widgets?

Take a peek at "decwrl::/pub/X11/R3"  (an Ultrix directory).

    PLEASE, Kris, let's keep the facts straight on our products.
    UWS V2.1 is NOT shipping from SDC and will not ship from
    SDC until some date that has not yet been announced...
    
    For official purposes, UWS V2.1 is in Field Test.  Unofficially,
    we have sent the products to SDC, but the world will have to wait.
    Yes, it is lots better than UWS V2.0, but the specifics are not
    officially available yet either.

794.7Still can't make it work, darn it!DPDMAI::BEATTIEBut, Is BLISS ignorance?Wed Jul 19 1989 10:0316
    Just put up RISC version UWS V2.1 on a DECsystem 3100, and tried to
    UIL + compile an application to use the athena viewport widget.
    
    Although everything compiles OK, I get a runtime error indicating that
    there is a version id mismatch between the widget and intrinsics...
    
    I am unsure if I have "official SSB" software...  Has anyone else
    seen this?  Is this possibly a characteristic of "pre-release" 
    distribution?
    
    Thanks in advance		-- Brian Beattie
