xview is a user interface toolkit with the look and feel of Sun's pre-X11
SunView. This is occasionally requested, mainly by people with ancient
scientific applications which use this toolkit.
The cygwin xview package provided by physionet.org hasn't worked for a number
of years due to a bug in xview's use of XAllocID which is fatal with a modern
Xlib [1].
This package was made by generating the diff between debian patch 19 and
physionet.org's patch 19c sources to identify cygwin build changes, then
applying that on top of the current debian patch 28.
This is in Fedora and Debian.
