You can buy a developers' kit, including MWM, a UIL compiler, compiled libraries and documentation kit, from DEC today. It appears to be based on Motif 1.0. Order number is QA-YMxAA-mc, where x is A for VMS, B for VAX/Ultrix and C for RISC/Ultrix, and mc is the relevant media code. A license is also required for VMS. Not free, but cost is modest, as DEC's offerings go! I have read that they're planning to distribute MWM along with VMS during late 1991. Russ
