There's a new version of the O'Reilly volume 6 out, (december
2001) and it is also available on the net. (www.ist.co.uk)
But printing it from the PDF is probably more expensive
than ordering the book. (Not quite sure if they decided
to do that though.)

Just curious : why do you want to rewrite your app with
LessTif ? (Not that I object of course.)

I don't know if motif/lesstif would solve the problem or not, but i've been reading some motif manuals.

I wanted to make an independent copy of a pixmap (GdkPixmap in gdk).
I found the whole of gtk/gdk has a fundamental flaw. All the toolkit
is based around the GObject way of making a class object. However,
there is no way to do a deep copy of objects because no one has
implemented any recursive copy functions in the classes.

Now i'm wondering whether it's easier to learn motif/lesstif, or
hack the functionality into gdk/gtk myself. I don't know yet if the
object system in motif can do deep-copies either.

Unlike gtk, there doesn't seem to be any really active email lists
on motif.

I started with gtk because i wanted to use C, and i didn't know
much about unix development or motif at the time.

A lot of books on amazon are 10 years old. Are these still useful?
