CheapBytes has SWiM Motif for $69.00. It's working well for me so far. Install the 2.0 version, not the 2.0.1 version, as the 2.0.1 version is built with an incompatible soname. And don't get the Motif archive CD. It's a waste of money. Nothing much useful on there at all. But it works, and I strongly doubt anyone's going to beat their price. -Larry -- Larry Daffner| Linux: Unleash the workstation in your PC!

Thanks, Paul Brown I highly recommend the SWIM Motif from http://www.cheapbytes.com. It's worked really well for nearly all Motif apps I've tried to compile, and the price is right. One caveat: the installation script on the CDROM will try to install an enormous amount of demos, docs, etc. I would recommend installing the libs and header files manually; they will go into the /usr/X11R6 tree where most makefiles will look for them.

Harnois Aw, don't be frightened... it's just software! By nearly I meant that reputable, well-maintained packages will compile with SWIM Motif. Just as with Athena packages, anyone can upload Motif-dependent software to the FTP sites and some is bound to be, shall we say, not very portable to machines different than the developer's. In my experience, packages such as XEmacs, Amaya, Thot, Nedit, etc. will compile. -- ~~~ Larry Ayers_/_/_/_/ _/_/ _/ Knox County, _/__/ Missouri_/_/_/_/ _/ _/ ~~~
