- Since SGI (and many others) are now using Motif, I would suggest you
- write your application using a Motif Style Interface. This can be
- accomplished using the Motif Widget set, but it would make since to
- look at the Motif User Interface Guidelines to see how your application
- should behave as a good Motif citizen.
