: These will all be compatible with your school motif.  I'd stay clear of 
: MOOTIFF, since I found Lasermoon to be quite unhelpful when it came to
: support.

I'd also steer clear of MoTeeth, unless the only thing you want out of 
the deal is mwm.  The manual that came with it was 100% about the window 
manager, the elf binaries on the CD didn't work *at* all, and I've yet to 
be able to compile any of the demos.  The online man pages were 
misformatted, and the rest of the online docs were slim to non-existent.

Pissed me off something fierce, since I could give a damn less about the 
window manager (I much prefer fvwm... even LOOKS prettier with the 3d 
libXaw libs installed).  I will probably have to go shell out some bucks 
for Metro-Link now, so I can actually start *gasp* trying to learn Motif 
programming.  Ah well, you get what you pay for, I guess.  Shoulda known 
*cheap* didn't refer to the price alone.

Anyone want to buy a REALLY good cheap implementation of Motif for 
linux?  I've got this *fantastic* copy of Moteeth sitting here, only 
driven on sundays by a little old lady from Pasadena...

My opinions are my own... don't blame my employer for saying MoTeeth SUCKS!
