I got OSF/Motif 1.0.3 for a DECstation 5000 from the folks at ICS. When I start
DECwindows applications, mwm complains about the icon bitmap being invalid and
substitutes a default (uninteresting) bitmap for the icon.
Is there a way to convert bitmaps from whatever DECwindows uses to the format
that mwm will like? Alternately, does someone have bitmaps that they can send
to me, perhaps from the DEC-delivered Motif kit?
Thanks for any help.

This will be fixed in future releases as the DECwindows applications are converted to Motif and become ICCCM compliant. - Jim -- Digital Equipment Corporation Cambridge Research Laboratory
