I have read several articles about the imminent arrival of MOTIF to the UNIX
scene. Does anyone know or have any experience with MOTIF that would like to
comment on how it compares to other Graphical User interfaces (eg. XView, PM
etc.). I am interested because we are trying to decide which interface to
invest our time and money in (of course, we will probably decide to wait and
see).

Also, has anyone seen it under 386/ix - who can verify that it works. When
is it likely to arrive, and for how much.

I think that GUI issues are increasingly important. "We have X, what's next?"
