I just saw a wierd article in this week's InfoWorld about AT&T and OSF having
high level discussions about how to merge the Unix worlds.
Apparently as something that OSF could contribute, it looks like
AT&T will be dropping Open Look in favor of Motif? (OSF hasn't done
much else that AT&T might want...)
There was also a sentence about OSF members buying into the AT&T
Unix Software Operation (perhaps to make it less controlled by AT&T,
they will make it a separate company and sell stock to other companies).
What a shame, now that Open Look is free and available, and Motif
is expensive and not shipping...
Corrections to these obviously wild-eyed rumors welcomed.
