This contains >routines that resolve anchors, access servers, parse SGML etc. None of which has anything to do with the Motif toolkit. >I can understand the people who don't want to pay for software. I don't resent paying for software, but I *do* resent paying outrageous amounts of money for software. It costs *thousands* to get Motif sources, and *thousands* to keep up-to-date with them.
