I recall when Motif was coming out there was a request not to use it since its not free... I'm not an X programmer (yet) but an X user/builder/debugger of C code... From what I've seen its not clear what you accomplish with motif you can't accomplish with the Athena widgets... maybe its a little harder (?? -- how much?) but at least its free to give away... -- Marty Leisner leisner@eso.mc.xerox.com leisner.henr801c@xerox.com "I just know I'm a better manager when I have Joe DiMaggio in center field" -- Casey Stengel
