- No, I did no programming with Motif --- I just tried compiling it to satisfy
- a "what if I try" question. The window manager seemed to work fine.
-
- I believe that Motif 1.1 is a licensed thing.. I cannot distribute sources
- and/or binaries (sorry, but them's the facts..). I only tried this to see if
- it could be done. I believe the 386BSD has *REAL* potential -- a few rough
- edges still, but nonetheless a fairly stable system.
