[comp.windows.x.motif] Motif support - Is it worth it?

gnb@bby.oz.au (Gregory N. Bond) (05/23/91)

We are considering purchasing the Motif source simply to compile it
and use it on our in-house systems.  The upfront cost of $1000US is
fine, but the yearly maintainence of $1,500US (and that won't even get
you Motif 1.2 when it is released) seems pretty steep.

I am after some feedback on whether the support is worth it; whether
there are enough bugs and updates that the support makes sense (rather
than just buying a copy of the latest version every 12 months and
saving $500US a year).

Mail me your thoughts and I'll summarize (anonymously if you prefer!)

Greg.
