[Answered publicly, mostly because I don't trust the return address. These
responses should not be taken as as reliable as those from OSF, which I don't
intend to speak for.]

This was a set of patches released about 5/90. It is not a complete source tape.

OSF/Motif 1.0.4 was released in late 12/90. It is also a patch release. As
it depends on 1.0.3 and 1.0.2, you should obtain those as well.

20 minutes to unpack the tape, 5 days for regression-testing of the toolkit, ??
to remove work-arounds in your application.

Well, the patches are actually distributed as complete files, so the tape
totals several megabytes, as does 1.0.4.
