Well,

I am involved in building a GUI and we have a problem.  Our development
language is C++, of course, and we have some "wrapper" libraries for Motif
but they wrap it only at a pretty low level.  We like InterViews much
better as a basis for continuing development, but there are a lot of pretty
widgets working in raw C/Motif and we doubt we can reproduce them in IV in
less than a couple of months, if ever.  Even then they may not have the 
completely Motif-consistent look and feel we need.  

Does anyone out there have any experience integrating Motif widgets and
InterViews code ?  Is it possible ?  To what degree does the InterViews
main loop differ from the Motif main loop, so far as the widgets would care?

Thanks for any pointers you can offer,
