I too won't ask why anyone would want to use Motif, but I'm sure there's a good reason. I believe that you can get Motif for both Linux and FreeBSD, and so you could buy one of those versions of Motif, and use the binary emulation for either one. No, I've not tried it - Motif, that is. The binary emulation works well, in NetBSD 1.1_ALPHA. Cheers, Alistair -- Alistair G.
