some supply uil (Dec) and some do not (IBM RS 6000). A number of 
developers here at Texaco use UIL and like it. What I would like to 
know is: 1 is uil required to be supplied for an implementation to
be called motif. If it is not, how portable are the .uid files that
come from uil. For example, assume I have a machine with uil on it,
( A dec, a machine covered by our source code license or some other
vendors machine with uil), and a machine without uil ( A convex, a 
IBM or an xyz). Can I copy the .uid file from the a machine of the
first class to a machine of the second class and reasonably expect it
to work ?
