- Lucid Emacs can be compiled with Motif if you have it, but also comes with a
- simple set of Motif-lookalike widgets used for the menubar and popup menus.
- This code is Copylefted; all you need is Xt. (Even if you have Motif, I
- recommend that you use the Lucid widgets, since they're loads faster (though
- not 100% compatible).)
