Where do we find MOTIF? I would like to get ahold of mwm for our systems here at UCR, but the files I find on uunet and expo seem to be truncated...Anybody got a clue (Especially those at the ftp sites I mentioned...Maybe they don't realize this possible problem.)? Maybe I'm looking for the wrong thing... yakker@ucrmath.ucr.edu | Matt Robinson, University of California at Riverside -----------------------*------------------------------------------------------ .!ucsd!ucrmath!yakker | Department of Mathematics and Computer Science

I think it's time to say the following again. yakker@stravinsky.UUCP (matt robinson) and several others write: >Where do we find MOTIF?... >...ftp... >...the wrong thing... OSF/Motif is proprietary software. Open Software Foundation licenses the source and source-related support. Other vendors will make available binaries and related support. If it *is* available by anonymous ftp, we would very much like to hear about it ourselves :-) So if you want OSF/Motif (this includes mwm), you can do one of three things: 1) Obtain a source license from us. Call +1(617)621-8835, or write Motif Desk, Open Software Foundation, 11 Cambridge Center, Cambridge, MA 02142, USA. Please, pretty please, don't email me? 2) Ask some appropriate hardware vendors or ISV for developer's kits, materials and support. 3) Bug your Department/Computing Services/Favorite Uncle to do (1) or (2). The notoriously broken tar.Z on expo and elsehere wasn't put there by OSF. It seems to contain the OSF/Motif-related enhancements made to the R3 Intrinsics, and rolled into the R4 Intrinsics. -- David Brooks dbrooks@osf.org Open Software Foundation uunet!osf.org!dbrooks
