True to their word, it arrived from Infomagic via FedEx this morning (4 working days after ordering). The Infomagic Moo-tif release is NOT freeware or shareware, like the Redhat 2.0 Motif (A$175 from Leonard's site) you are probably thinking about, this is LICENCED software. Indeed it is compiled from OSF Motif 2.0.1 sources. Even with the delivery charges, the Moo-tif release is cheaper. Hmmm, so where does the "MOTIF does more that MOO-TIF can" comment come from ?? Are you confusing it with Less-tiff ? Regards, CSE
