The lastime I tried Lesstif is with Mozilla....alas it broke a couple of
things (granted that Mozilla's README forewarned about using Lesstif).
Don't know how's the development now, but I fear that it won't be
anytime soon before anything "clean" can be ported to commercial
Unicies.

But will seek the latest distribution and see how it goes.... that
aside, I'm still torn between 1.x and 2.x should Lesstif fail to work
out.

Thanks guys.
