◊ DID YOU MEAN WAFE?
Wafe
(From Widget Athena front end) A package by
Gustaf Neumann implementing a
symbolic interface to the {Athena} {widgets} and
{OSF}/{Motif}. A typical Wafe {application} consists of two
parts: a front-end (Wafe) and an application program which
runs as a separate process. The distribution contains sample
application programs in {Perl}, {GAWK}, {Prolog}, {TCL}, {C},
and {Ada} talking to the same Wafe binary.
The current Wafe version is 1.0.15. It supports Athena as
distributed with {X} releases 4-6 and Motif versions 1.1, 1.2,
and 2.0 but new distribution are only tested against {X}
releases 5 and 6, and Motif versions 1.2.4 and 2.0.
