Hi folks,

    We are looking at getting an RS6000 for some X development,
and we understand that it comes with OSF/Motif.  Our experience
with IBM in the past is that they have their own way of doing
things, the rest of the world notwithstanding.  The RS6000 seems
to be in a much more mainstream direction, but I wanted to find
out from the net.wizards at large whether their version was
reasonable.  If we develop an application using their particular
widget set, do we stand a fighting chance of making it run on
another platform with Motif?

     Thanks,
     Steve
