2206.0. "CUA window interface style??" by HACMAN::HACK (Satisfaction ... a state of mind) Mon Feb 05 1990 17:00

    What is the 'standard' CUA interface??
    
    A client of mine said this is a way or style of writing windowing
    applications (x-window or ASCII).  They thought it was referenced in
    the DECwindows style guide, but believe it really was written by IBM.
    
    I am open to all and any comments, pointers, etc.
    
    Thanks ... Don

2206.1At DEC, we only have uncommon users.XUI::VANNOYJake VanNoyMon Feb 05 1990 18:112
CUA is Common User Access, a part of IBM's SAA.

2206.2What is SAA's CUA relationship to DECwindows? HACMAN::HACKSatisfaction ... a state of mindWed Feb 07 1990 08:5012
I am confused.

My impression is that CUA is an ASCII terminal forms defination, ala DECforms,
not DECwindows.

Is there a known relationship between CUA and DECwindows?  Why would this client
think that the DECwindows style came from CUA?

Is there a features/functions type summary of CUA on line somewhere that I could
read?

Thanks .. Don
