Have have two DECstations running Ultrix 4.1. I would like to be able
to use some of the public domain X window system software such as idraw,
xfig, etc., most of which is X11 R4, and perhaps use the Motif toolkit
widgets.
I would appreciate answers to some of these questions from anyone that
has purchased the MOTIF toolkit:
1. I have heard that the Motif 1.1 Developers kit, along with Ultrix 4.2
gives a full X11 R4 environment. Is this true? Should I then be able
to build any R4 public domain or X11R4 distribution software. What
manuals come with this kit?
2. What is in the Motif Developer's documentation. Is it a bunch
of manual's similar to the XUI programing manuals that came with the
DECstation.
3. What is the difference between the following products (advertised in the
November Desktop Computer Users Catalog and are they Motif version 1.1:
QA-YMBAA-H5/CAV OSF/Motif DECwindows developers kit
QL-YMAAC-AA/CAV DECwindows Developer Kit for OSF/Motif
There is certainly a huge difference in the price,
I do not particularly want to build the X11R4 distribution from scratch,
