I would also be interested in an answer to this question.  Our university
computer center will not ever get a Motif license.  [They can't even get a
BSD license even though they *have* an AT&T license -- bah!]

Is there any chance of a binary distribution?  I wouldn't mind paying a
reasonable amount for Motif binaries, but the licensing fees that were
recently mentioned in comp.windows.x.motif were outrageous.

Thanks -- Volker
