HP is rumoured to ship MOTIF, at least the motif window manager,
with their next release of HP-UX.
The 7.0 version of X11 from HP will be based on X11R3, it is
to bad that MIT will release X11R4 before I will get HP-UX 7.0

My question is: How much of the MOTIF stuff will be shipped with
HP's X distribution. Will it be the same as with plain X, that
many useful parts of the original distribution are left out?

In case HP will supply us with the MOTIF Widget set, how
will they handle compatibility with existing programs using the
HP X Widgets?
