* OSF/Motif 1.1.2 for 386BSD-0.1 *

OSF/Motif 1.1.2 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.
The cost of OSF/Motif for 386BSD is $120 + postage. This is the lowest
fee I could come up with to cover all the expenses mainly due to
royalties to OSF and cartridge tapes.
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
The size of the distribution is a little over 18M.
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 extract the tape in
your X11 installation.
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.

Just a last note. Please don't start a flame war about commercial use
of usenet. I don't want (and won't) become rich with this operation, my main
activity is completely different. I'm just very please with 386BSD
(it's great!) and it would be nice to turn it in a new ODT; I'll soon
start investigating the portability of Postgres or OBST on 386BSD.
Thank you for your patience.
