I feel like a new neighbor, asking for a cup of sugar from strangers: A friend of mine with no net access, but several PC RTs at his work site has asked me for your help. He would like to know if the OSF interface software "MOTIF" has been ported to the RT, and how he might obtain a copy if so. I have no experience with RTs, and thought I might ask your help. As is usual with this sort of posting, offers of help, me toos, addresses of vendors and so on should be emailed to me. I will sumarize any useful information. Please remember, negative information (ie "It can't be done: I tried") are help also. Of course, I thank you in advance.

IBM showed it at various fairs as 'technology demo' - which means that you can't get what you see. IBM Austria has a beta release of the product which will be shipping in the next couple of month. Possibly it will come with the announcment of AIX 3.x for the new RISC family. I couldn't get a hand on the beta code, so I can't tell anything about it yet. If you are a software crack, you could try to order the MOTIF sources directly from OSF on port it yourself. I think OSF is going to ship MOTIF right now to the rest of the world. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ EDV Ges.m.b.H Vienna Johann Schweigl Hofmuehlgasse 3 - 5 USENET: johnny@edvvie.at A-1060 Vienna, Austria Tel: (0043) (222) 59907 257 (8-19 CET)
