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.
