HP is rumoured to ship MOTIF, at least the motif window manager, with their next release of HP-UX. The 7.0 version of X11 from HP will be based on X11R3, it is to bad that MIT will release X11R4 before I will get HP-UX 7.0 My question is: How much of the MOTIF stuff will be shipped with HP's X distribution. Will it be the same as with plain X, that many useful parts of the original distribution are left out? In case HP will supply us with the MOTIF Widget set, how will they handle compatibility with existing programs using the HP X Widgets?

HP-UX 7.0 will include mwm (the Motif window manager), libXm.a (the Motif widgets), and /usr/include/Xm/* (the Motif widget header files). We have some incentive to include all of this as we wrote it under contract for OSF. > In case HP will supply us with the MOTIF Widget set, how > will they handle compatibility with existing programs using the > HP X Widgets? HP-UX 7.0 also includes the HP X Widgets (libXw.a) and header files. In addition it includes an R2 version of libXt which is shipped as libXtR2.a. Brian Cripe bcripe@cv.hp.com
