\chapter{STDWIN ONLY}
\chapter{Standard Windowing Interface}
The modules in this chapter are available only on those systems where
the STDWIN library is available. STDWIN runs on \UNIX{} under X11 and
on the Macintosh. See CWI report CS-R8817.
\strong{Warning:} Using STDWIN is not recommended for new
applications. It has never been ported to Microsoft Windows or
Windows NT, and for X11 or the Macintosh it lacks important
functionality --- in particular, it has no tools for the construction
of dialogs. For most platforms, alternative, native solutions exist
(though none are currently documented in this manual): Tkinter for
\UNIX{} under X11, native Xt with Motif or Athena widgets for \UNIX{}
under X11, Win32 for Windows and Windows NT, and a collection of
native toolkit interfaces for the Macintosh.
