[comp.windows.x.motif] Where do you get MOTIF for DECstations?

lau@kings (Yan K. Lau) (08/10/90)

We are interested in getting MOTIF for our DECstations.  Is it available?
From whom?  Does DEC sell it?  Do we buy it from OSF?  We also want to
write applications in MOTIF.  Do we need development environment software?
I'm not at all familiar with this but need to know.  Please respond via
email if this has been asked before.  "The quest is the quest."

If you have the ULTRIX 4.0 license, then a MOTIF binary license is bundled with
it. However, the bits are on a seperate media, which you need to order
seperately.
You should contact your sales rep about this. By the way, it is version 1.0 of
MOTIF.

The OSF only supplies source licenses. If this is what you want, then
get it from
the OSF. DEC is not offering source licenses.

Getting the kit I refered to above, and combining it with a UWS (or UDW) kit
should result in the bulk of what you need.
