 Hi,
 
 I have to apologize you about my Athena Widget version of 
 my statistical toolbox. If my tool is build partially outside 
 the sammie Project, I cannot be sure at 100% of my copyrights.
 
 Some doctor do not want that the tool is externally available,
 and I must anyway ask their authorization for putting medical 
 data with it, on the other hand the current tool is effectively
 mimicing all motif features(that was one of my aim to show alternatives)
 of my Sammie version.
 
 On the informatical point of view, I will have to ask my university
 how far this can still be done.(If it is possible...)
 
 My view point is that this tool was build only to help people without any
 constraints.(That'what I think about scientific information)
 However this cannot be accomplished today.("The next is the best")
 
 The next is the best: I have still a lot of ideas, and now that the project is finished
 successfully, I have also the advantage to be sure about my future copyrights.
 
 So if you are still liking the idea, now that I have shown that Athena Widget can
 be used and that a conversion of a package can be done in less than a month,
 I want to continue the challenge (now freely!!!) :
 How far can I reach with a general image package under Athena and C++(gnu style),(with postgres 4.2)?
 
 I think it will be great. If you are still interested, I will do the same 
 but with the capacity to register my software completely public without any 
 risk. (data and software) I think, it's a good exercise.
 
 
 I expect a running version without modification on my NeXT in end februari,
 which could be able to run on any X11R5 with minor modifications.
 (I have already done UI in C++ in that amount of time)
 
 You can Email me back before end 1994, or you should send a post mail(>1994),
