The Infomagic MOO-TIF for Linux direct from Informagic in the US. 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 ?
