Hi all.

I was reminiscing over it being over twenty years since I started using Linux, on a Intel DX2/66 with 4mb Ram and my Slackware distro.  I remember tinkering with Xview, which some Unix users on SunOS will remember as OpenWindows. It was a very light weight  desktop UI and I wondered if anyone out there a, remembered it and b, knew of any source code which existed on the Slackware CD's as I don't have mine any more I wanted to try and get it working on a modern day Linux distro.

having come from a development background I appreciate and recall the old a.out binary executables vs the latter day ELF binaries, how easy it would be to build the source code ?

thanks for reading,
