WingZ, OpenWindows, and other spreadsheets.

[Alan J. Snyder]

WingZ works under OpenWindows, like any Sunview product, with one caveat
(see below). You need to deal with the fact that Sunview applications are
always on the top, and, if you have an 8MB machine, you need to deal with
the swapping that goes on when Sunview apps run with OpenWindows.

Caveat: WingZ 1.0, the current SunOS release, appears to need the
_Sunview_ selection_svc, not the sv_xv_sel_svc that runs with OpenWindows.
I discovered this when I installed the selection service patch, which get
properly killed when you exit sunview, only to discover that WingZ began
generating RPC timeouts trying to query the selection service. Running the
old or new selection_svc while WingZ is running fixes the problem, and
does not appear to hurt anything else.

Informix says that they are working on lots of ports; OpenWindows will be
among them; no schedule from the people I talked too, although it seemed
that Motif might be first in line.
