Jay,

I don't know off-hand, does Oracle or some other successor project have 
an archived copy? Was OLIT ever offered under a permissive license? I can 
pass this message on to the "Chicago Classic Computing"
https://groups.io/g/chiclassiccomp 
email list and see what the Sun nerds come back with if you'd like me to?

What are you attempting to do? Compile/run a program that requires OLIT 
other than an older version of the OPEN LOOK Window Manager?

If you happen to be trying compile OLWM for a more contemporary machine 
the XView version was available under a permissive license and was briefly 
available in older versions of some Linux distributions. It was available 
in Debian and there is still a source tarball and binaries in the archive.

Good luck,

Jim
