The ICS Builder Xcessory (tm) has not shipped yet, so you won't be getting
many replies.  I like it :-)  

The Builder lets you create your Motif interface on the screen with the 
mouse and keyboard.  The Builder will write out C, UIL, and X Resource files.
It relies solely on the standard Xm and Xt libraries, leaving no garbage
around in your code.  It uses UIL as its meta-language which has the
wonderful side-effect of enabling the Builder to read in an arbitrary UIL 
file.  No royalties are due anyone (not to ICS, not to OSF) for the code
generated by the Builder Xcessory.

We will probably be showing the Builder at the OSF Road Show.  One of the 
dates is April 19 in Parsippany, NJ.  Info on the OSF Road Show can be 
obtained by calling OSF.  You can visit the demo area without paying for the
seminar(s). 

More info on the Builder Xcessory can be obtained by writing to 
'info@ics.com' or 'unnet!ics.com!info'.
