A new book on OSF/Motif (mine) is now available:
Thomas Berlage
OSF/Motif: Concepts and Programming
Addison-Wesley 1991
496pp. paper
ISBN 0-201-55792-4
The book was printed in the UK, but should have reached the US by now.
To order, contact your bookseller or local Addison-Wesley office. Price
may vary depending on country.
The book contains
- An explanation of the underlying concepts (X and Toolkit Intrinsics).
- An extensive description of the Motif toolkit, explaining features
that are barely touched in the OSF reference manuals.
- Several example programs demonstrating program design and widget
programming.
The example programs are available for anonymous ftp on export.lcs.mit.edu
(18.30.0.238) in the /contrib directory under the name berlage.motif.tar.Z

I reviewed a pre- release version of it several months ago. It covers an amazing breadth of details, although the way from using X, to using and writing widgets. It also contains some very nice sample widgets - I'm looking forward to trying them out. Alfalfa Software, Inc. | Poste: The EMail for Unix nazgul@alfalfa.com | Send Anything...

Speaking of info on motif, anyone know where I can acquire copies of Dave Flanagan's Motif and X programming manuals? -Terry Spurling-- a babe in a world of giants.........
