21)* Where can I get Motif? And where can I get Motif for Linux?

[Last modified: Sept 95]

Answer: Kenton Lee provided this list of vendors who provide Motif for Linux:

        Metro Link, http://www.metrolink.com/
        ACC Bookstore, http://www.acc-corp.com/
        InfoMagic, http://www.infomagic.com/
        Just Computers, http://www.business1.com/justcomp/
        Lasermoon, http://www.lasermoon.co.uk/lasermoon.catalogue.en/DIR.html


Various hardware vendors produce developer's toolkits of binaries, header
files, and documentation; check your hardware vendor, particularly if that
vendor is an OSF member.

In addition, independent binary vendors produce Motif toolkits.

[A FAQ is not for "personal opinions" on these toolkits.  I don't think it is
appropriate to give such opinions through this particular posting, so I
haven't included any.]

Infomagic provides Linux Motif. For info, see:

    http://www.infomagic.com/infomagic/text/mootiff.html

for the Moo-Tiff CD-ROM. Requires Linux 0.99 (or higher) & XFree86 2.x (or
higher).
