- because this question has come up in the past, I will pass along this
- article that was posted to the newsgroup comp.newprod on Oct 29. A
- friend of mine has recently ordered this Motif package. This is the
- first request of the package from outside of Europe, so there
- is still a money conversion difficulty for the distributor.
-
- If you wish to wait a couple days and there is an interest, a follow
- up on the product can be arranged.

- -- Standard disclaimers: I am a pack-rat of files like these, but I
- do not use Motif --

- :
- :OSF/Motif 1.1.2 is finally available for 386BSD-0.1
- :
- :The distribution is BINARY ONLY and is NOT FREE because of OSF licensing
- :policy and royalty payment scheme.
- :
- :The cost of OSF/Motif for 386BSD is $120 + postage. This is the lowest
- :fee I could come up with to cover all the expenses mainly due to
- :royalties to OSF and cartridge tapes.
- :
- :I have organized the following distribution tree:
- :
- : bin:
- : mwm* mxgdb* uil* xgen*
- :
- : include:
- : Mrm/ Xm/ uil/
- :
- : lib:
- : X11/ libMrm.a libUil.a libXm.a
- :
- : lib/X11:
- : XKeysymDB app-defaults/ config.Motif/ system.mwmrc
- :
- : demos:
- : Imakefile hellohebrew/ motifburger/ mre/ widgetView/
- : Makefile hellokanji/ motifburint/ periodic/ xmsamplers/
- : dogs/ hellomotif/ motifgif/ periodickanji/
- : fonts/ motifanim/ motifshell/ uilsymdump/
- :
- : xgenDemos:
- : Example Xgen.intro dp.xbm mtn.xbm
- : README.EX address.list gnu.xbm
- :
- :The size of the distribution is a little over 18M.
- :
- :As you will probably have noted I have included all the demos released
- :by OSF and two non OSF applications. One is mxgdb, a OSF/Motif frontend
- :to gdb written by jtsillas@sprite.ma30.bull.com. The other is xgen,
- :a very usefull tool for creating graphical frontends to shell scripts
- :or other Unix programs; xgen was written by kurt@zorro.cecer.army.mil.
- :
- :Everything is ready to run; you just have to extract the tape in
- :your X11 installation.
- :
- :I can offer email, fax, phone (the order represents preference) support
- :for initial installation problems. There shouldn't be any since I've
- :been using it for a while with 386BSD 0.1.40 kernel available on
- :agate.berkeley.edu. I didn't try the binary distribution of XFree86
- :but used MIT X11R5 patchlevel 17 source tree + XFree86.

- :Just a last note. Please don't start a flame war about commercial use
- :of usenet. I don't want (and won't) become rich with this operation, my main
- :activity is completely different. I'm just very please with 386BSD
- :(it's great!) and it would be nice to turn it in a new ODT; I'll soon
- :start investigating the portability of Postgres or OBST on 386BSD.

- :Thank you for your patience.
