> I am attempting to find good books on Motif. I would like to find a good > reference and learning book. Any help or suggestions are appreciated! This came from the FAQ last updated 18 Mar 91. Subject: 6) What books should I read or do I need to program using Motif? Answer: Ken Lee of the DEC Western Software Laboratory (klee@wsl.dec.com) regularly posts to comp.windows.x and ba.windows.x a list of reference books and articles on X and X programming. In FAQ comp.windows.x an extract of his list appears. Specifically for Motif programming, though: OSF/Motif Programmers Guide, Prentice-Hall 13-640525-8 (Motif 1.0) ISBN 0-13- 640681-5 (Motif 1.1) OSF/Motif Programmers Reference Manual, Prentice-Hall 13-640517-17 (Motif 1.0) ISBN 0-13-640616-5 (Motif 1.1) OSF/Motif Style Guide, Prentice-Hall 13-640491-X (Motif 1.0) ISBN 0-13-640673-4 (Motif 1.1) Young, Doug. "The X Window System: Applications and Programming with Xt (Motif Version)," Prentice Hall, 1989 (ISBN 0-13-497074-8). The excellent tutorial "X Window Systems Programming and Applications with Xt," (ISBN 0-13-972167-3) updated for Motif. [The examples from the Motif version are available on expo in ~ftp/contrib/young.motif.tar.Z] Marshall Brain at brain@adm.csc.ncsu.edu posted a set of simple and useful Motif tutorials. You will also need books and references on Xt such as: Asente, Paul J., and Swick, Ralph R., "X Window System Toolkit, The Complete Programmer's Guide and Specification", Digital Press, 1990. The bible on Xt. A treasury of information, excellent and invaluable. Distributed by Digital Press, ISBN 1-55558-051-3, order number EY-E757E-DP; and by Prentice- Hall, ISBN 0-13-972191-6. Nye, Adrian, and Tim O'Reilly, "X Toolkit Programming Manual, Volume 4," O'Reilly and Associates, 1989. The folks at O'Reilly give their comprehensive treatment to programming with the MIT X11R3 Intrinsics; some information on X11R4 is included. O'Reilly, Tim, ed., "X Toolkit Reference Manual, Volume 5," O'Reilly and Associates, 1989. A professional reference manual for the MIT X11R3 Xt; some information on X11R4 is included. Books and reference manuals on Xlib may also be useful. -kam ps. if you would like a copy fo the FAQ I can send it to you, too. ----------------------------+----------------------------- Kam Tsang | User Interface Group (408) 980-1590 x 275 | Integrated Systems, Inc.

O'Reilley's Volume 6 - Motif Programming Manual - is due out in July. I know that doesn't help you *NOW*, but you can plan ahead for what I expect to be the most comprehensive documentation to date.
