Trying hard to prove that the Open Look graphical user interface for Unix System V still has friends out there, AT&T Co discloses that 25 hardware and software vendors have now signed up to supply the interface on an OEM basis to independent software vendors, who will be developing products based on the software, which is now included as part of the source code for Unix System V.4. Apart from the most obvious AT&T supporters that have already declared for Open Look – Amdahl Corp, Arix Computer Corp, Fujitsu Ltd, ICL, Ing C Olivetti & Co, Pyramid Technology Corp, Solbourne Computer Corp and Sun Microsystems – these include hardware manufacturers Commodore International, Harris Corp, Motorola Inc, Tolerant Systems, Toshiba Corp and Wipro Inc, some of which are also supporting OSF Motif. More obscure are organisations such as KonsultHuset Data AB, Stockholm, Sweden; Australian systems manufacturer Labatam Information Systems Pty, Braeside, Victoria, and its UK subsidiary Labatam Ltd; and Quest Systems. AT&T says it is will make available a list of Open Look products being developed by independent software vendors in the near future.
