tclMotif is a binding of the tcl language to the Motif libraries. This
is available free (executable included) on the standard Linux
archives, and also from csc.canberra.edu.au. To use this, you will be
programming in tcl instead of C, but you can reduce your code size by
upto 90% by doing this. The executable was prepared using a University
license, and is quite legal.
