	Hi Benny, glad to hear you...
	
	Just one correction: xview source code is available and has been ported
to a number of platforms. You can run SUN's open-windows on those and hence
you hsould be able to run GDE too. Among them and notably, are ultrix, Linux
and *BSD.

	Note that I haven't had time to try to compile GDE on one of those, but
in theory it should work.

	My last knowledge though was that GDE's GUI didn't run in DEC/Unix...
