As I am still getting email after mentioning OSF/Motif two months ago, I thought I should post the following update. Today, July 14, 1989, Open Software Foundation makes OSF/Motif generally available. Orders can now be placed for the GA release, which means that anyone can now become a source licensee. With the Motif source code, you can port the technology to any hardware platform that supports X-Windows. You also will have all the tools necessary for migrating or building software applications. The source license fee is $1000. Remember, we offer a source tape. If you are interested just in developing applications, we suggest you contact your favorite platform vendor and ask what they make available. Many hardware vendors and software houses have committed to support for Motif. This current release is in fact the final snapshot. Release 1.0, the official first release of Motif, will be available August 21. Please, pretty please, DO NOT MAIL OR PHONE ME PERSONALLY FOR MORE INFORMATION (or any other OSF person who may happen to appear on the net). For information, or to order source, please call our Motif desk number: +1(617) 621-8835 or you can call in through our main number: +1(617) 621-8700 or mail us at: Open Sofware Foundation 11 Cambridge Center Cambridge, MA 02142 U.S.A. Attn: Motif Desk We think it's rather good. -- David Brooks dbrooks@osf.org Open Software Foundation uunet!osf.org!dbrooks 11 Cambridge Center Cambridge, MA 02142, USA No disclaimer this time!
