UIMS recs and suggestions wanted

[Richard Steinberger]

	About a week ago I asked people for some suggestions and
recommendations about tools and products that might be used to help
design GUIs.  (I've since been told that such tools are called
UIMS: User Interface Management Systems).  Some people asked for a
summary of responses, and I will try to provide something.

	So far I've received information about three products that seem
useful.  They are:

	Builder Xcessory from ICS.  More details are available by
	sending a request to info at ics.com.  617.547.0510

	X-Designer from Imperial Software Technology in the UK.  Email
	address is sales at ist.co.uk.  (+44) 743 587055

	TAE+ from COSMIC, 382 East Broad St., Athens, GA, 404.542.3265.
	This one was developed by NASA and is only $500 for the
	first copy and license.  Runs on Suns, VAXen, SGI, HP
	and others.

All these three seem to generate code for the Motif interface to X11.
Some others that were mentioned in the current issue of Unix World's
Connectivity supplement are:

	UIMX, OpenLook Express from Visual Edge (St. Laurence, Que.)

	X Build from Nixdorf Computer (Waltham, MA)

	TeleUse from Telesoft (San Diego, CA)

	ExoCode from EXOC (Chicago, IL)

	Guide from SUN.

	VUIT demonstrated by DEC at DECUS '90.  May not yet be a 'product'.

Unfortunately, Unix World didn't see fit to include addresses of phone
numbers.

I would be interested in finding out more about some of the above
products/companies (like their phone numbers).  In addition,
if you have used any of these design tools, I would like to hear
of your experiences - good and bad.  Thanks to all who reply.  If
enough people express interest, and I get an updated list of
phone numbers and addresses, I could possibly post it.
