- The only major problem I can think of is that your CLX code needs to follow
- the ICCCM (Inter Client Communications Conventions Manual) that can be found
- in the MIT X distribution. If not, you may have some problems with the Motif
- window manager (mwm). That should not be too difficult to fix.
-
- However, compared to other Motif programs your application may not look as
- nice and may have a different feel (mouse buttons etc.). If you require that
- your application is style-compatible with other Motif apps, then you could
- use our Lisp binding for Motif called CLM (see the file CLM+GINA.README on
- export.lcs.mit.edu in /contrib or on ftp.gmd.de in /gmd/gina). You could use
- CLM to add Motif-style menus, scroll bars and dialog boxes to your
- application. You will still need parts of your CLX code for custom drawings
- etc.
-
- Contact me for any further questions on CLM and GINA (GINA is a layer on top
- of CLM and CLX, you can use it to write new graphical applications much more
- easily).
-
- Btw., do not confuse CLM with CLIM, the latter is a commercial interface
- package.
