Below is a summary of the information I received in response to my request
concerning the difficulty of porting Motif 1.1 for Interactive Unix. Thanks
to all the folks who responded! (I just love the wealth of info on the net!)
There were several requests to post a summary. Hope everyone finds the
information useful.

I did it some days ago, without any problem.
I compiled using gcc 1.37 libXm.a and mwm, but discarded Uil and all that
shit -- OK, I know most of you will not agree... :-)
I had to edit Makefiles by hand because I had not X11R4 sources available
on the hard drive.
Just be careful to use the correct defines (SYSV, etc -- I don't remember
exactly).

Iff the port is for X11R4, which I'm running under Interactive UNIX 2.2,
from MIT at patchlevel 18.
I will port FREE of charge Motif 1.1 if I'm provided with the source
distribution and I can distribute (very possibly for a fee) any part
of the port to System V/386 without paying royalties.
I built X11R4 (patchlevel 18) and have been using it for several months,
you couldn't pay me to go back to X11R3 from Interactive (or anyone else
for that matter).
Also I make very heavy use GNU s/w which I built and support for System V.

Consider DELL Unix SYS V.4 . It has X11R4 & Motif 1.1 shipping
as an option to it *right now*. It also has quite a few enhancements
to optimize, and perform very well.
For more information, drop a note to: info@uudell.dell.com
to be shipped more information.
