Wow! Thanks, Les. Like Casey Stengel said: "It's deja vu all over again". In the '88-'92 timeframe I directed a group that built yet another graphical UI toolkit in CLOS as part of a GIS for the oil patch, called "Sorcerer's Apprentice". We looked at most of the systems your message mentioned. I guess my subconsious was just blocking out that information :-)
Now the critical question is: Can people who worked with those systems recall the "lessons learned" and describe them here for Boris' benefit in his design of Cheese?

PS: I love the web. A quick search in the "subject" categories in Alta Vista led directly to a bunch of CLIM info, including:
A new research project on "CLIM 3.0": http://www.darpa.mil/ito/Summaries97/D935_0.html
The CLIM 2.0 user's guide: http://www.harlequin.com/education/books/CLIM-2.0/ <---- Boris, you probably want to take a look at this.
