It is an easy-to-use object-oriented toolkit that provides an OPEN LOOK user interface for X applications.The major additions for XView Version 3 are:</p><ul><li>Internationalization support for XView programs.</li><li>A new drag-and-drop package that lets the user transfer data between applications by dragging an interface object to a region.</li><li>A mouseless input model that means XView applications can be controlled from the keyboard without a mouse. Soft function keys are also supported.</li><li>The Notices package has been completely rewritten to incorporate Notice objects.</li><li>The Selection package has been rewritten, replacing the SunView- style selection service.</li><li>New panel items such as multiline text items and drop target items have been included. The Panels chapter has been reworked to clarify and simplify panel usage.</li></ul>XView 3.2 includes bug fixes (in the software and the documentation) but does not add significant new functionality.The Attribute Summary from the previous edition of the <i>XView Programming Manual</i> has been expanded and is now published as a companion volume, the <i>XView Reference Manual</i>.
