[In response to several postings about how installing the Motif 1.1.3 subset seems to adversely affect the DECwindows subsets....] People always act so suprised and then run off to their computer and immediately post to Usenet when something like this happens, when they _should_ run to the Installation Guide or Release Notes, which explains exactly this problem. Yes, the Motif subsets are installed on top of the DECwindows subsets, since they contain "Motif-ized" replacements for the DECwindows programs. This is explained on page 1-3 of the Release Notes (in section 1.1.5, "Subsets and Reinstallation"). Actually reading these notes is left as an exercise for the reader. -Rob -- Rob McNicholas Technical & Computing Services, EE/CS, U.C.
