Multi-platform user interface library initially published by Liant in the late 1980's, the package was actually marketed as an application framework but most of the 100+ classes were UI related and most end users actually used C++/Views more as a portable graphic user interface library than as a full blown AF, but the UI abstraction side of the library was considered very well done while opinions differed somewhat strongly on the rest of the package. It was available for Microsoft Windows, OS/2 and UNIX workstations that supported the Motif user interface including AIX, Digital UNIX and HP-UX.
