Recently I inquired about the HP Widgets for Release 3.  Several people have
asked me what information I've uncovered.  Since many of these sites I can't
seem to reach, I'm going to post the information.

First, you can get the HP Widgets with a Release 3 patch from many sites
using anonymous FTP.  Two of these are

	expo.lcs.mit.edu in contrib/  and   cs.toronto.edu in pub/X/

Second, HP is no longer supporting their older widget set, favoring the new
Motif set of widgets.  Motif includes many (all?) the HP set plus additional
widgets, including the DECview widgets.  Site license is around $1000, if I'm
remembering correctly.

A side effect of this:  when Release 4 comes out, the HP widgets will not be
			updated by HP.

I hope this helps.
