OSF/Motif 1.1 is finally available for 386BSD-0.1
The distribution is BINARY ONLY and is NOT FREE because of OSF licensing
policy and royalty payment scheme.
I have organized the following distribution tree:
bin:
mwm* mxgdb* uil* xgen*
include:
Mrm/ Xm/ uil/
lib:
X11/ libMrm.a libUil.a libXm.a
lib/X11:
XKeysymDB app-defaults/ config.Motif/ system.mwmrc
demos:
Imakefile hellohebrew/ motifburger/ mre/ widgetView/
Makefile hellokanji/ motifburint/ periodic/ xmsamplers/
dogs/ hellomotif/ motifgif/ periodickanji/
fonts/ motifanim/ motifshell/ uilsymdump/
xgenDemos:
Example Xgen.intro dp.xbm mtn.xbm
README.EX address.list gnu.xbm
As you will probably have noted I have included all the demos released
by OSF and two non OSF applications. One is mxgdb, a OSF/Motif frontend
to gdb written by jtsillas@sprite.ma30.bull.com. The other is xgen,
a very usefull tool for creating graphical frontends to shell scripts
or other Unix programs; xgen was written by kurt@zorro.cecer.army.mil.
Everything is ready to run; you just have to load it on your 386bsd machine.
The obvious prerequisite is that you have a working X11 on your system.
The size of a compressed tar distribution is about 20M. No OSF documentation
is included due to it's size and to the fact that it is easier to
purchase the Prentice-Hall books than printing it. Anyway if you really
want the original OSF PostScript docs we can make arrangements for including
it.
At the moment I have used three mediums to distribute the product
1) QIC-24 tape
2) ftp
3) floppies (tar or DOS)
The first two (tape and ftp) are preferred due to the effort required
in producing the floppies. The ftp method is probably the fastest since
all I need is a temporary account on your machine in order to upload
96 files of 204800 bytes each. From my location to any machine with a IP
address and a reasonable connection the transfer typically takes from 30
minutes to an hour.
The cost of OSF/Motif for 386BSD is $150 + POSTAGE. In case you choose
a ftp distribution there is no postage, but I will charge you a fixed $15
to cover my phone costs.
The postage costs for tape or floppies depend greatly on the destination
and the speed required. Simple AIR MAIL to USA is about $10, express mail
to Germany is DM 32 and a comparable price to the rest of Europe.
I can offer email, fax, phone (the order represents preference) support
for initial installation problems. There shouldn't be any since I've
been using it for a while with 386BSD 0.1.40 kernel available on
agate.berkeley.edu. I didn't try the binary distribution of XFree86
but used MIT X11R5 patchlevel 17 source tree + XFree86.
