Date: 09 Aug 1995 15:52:52 GMT Organization: NASA Goddard Space Flight Center -- Greenbelt, Maryland USA Lines: 19 Distribution: world Message-ID: <TSINGLE.95Aug9115252@sunward.gsfc.nasa.gov> References: <TSINGLE.95Jul28213559@sunland.gsfc.nasa.gov> NNTP-Posting-Host: sunward.gsfc.nasa.gov In-reply-to: tsingle@sunland.gsfc.nasa.gov's message of 29 Jul 1995 01:35:59 GMT A week or so ago, I asked if anyone was selling motif for FreeBSD 2.0.5. I ended up buying the only version I found, SWiM 2.0, from ACC Corp (800 546-7242, info@acc-corp.com) for about $150. UPS dropped it off last night, 7 floppies and a small book, and I installed it and spent a few hours playing with it; so far I'm totally satisfied! The install had a few hitches; there was a typo in the Install script (missing a space before a `]') and one of the shared libraries didn't get installed. But the hitches were minor and easy to overcome. The bottom line, though, is that SWiM works. I recommend it to anyone looking for Motif for FreeBSD 2.0.5! tim -- Tim Singletary, August Automation Inc., (301) 286-8606
