- I vaguely remember reading something that said OSF was
- planning to add a virtual capability to mwm in a future release. Is
- there anyone from OSF out there that can deny or affirm this? In any
- case, I believe there has been a lot of market pressure for this
- capability, and when there's demand, someone will come up with a
- supply.

- I would put my vote for mwm. It looks great, has tons of
- options, and is becoming standard over many different platforms. I
- wish Sun would see the light and distribute Motif with the OS instead
- of OpenLook.
