The only reason it does not yet support Motif is that I >haven't got Motif yet. I hope that by the time it is publically released I >will have folded the Motif Widgets into it. Umm, maybe I ought to cover myself on this one. What I meant to say was I will fold in the *names* and widgetClass pointers of the Motif Widgets into the internal tables of my builder and I will then check with OSF so that I can then give away the source to my builder without it contravening any copyrights or licences. It will not require users of the builder to have anything more than the Motif libraries and header files. It does not generate any Motif code apart from declarations such as: #include Now will OSF allow this? If not then it will be up to the installer of the builder to enter the one line per widgetClass into the builders internal table. Actually this seems a bit of a legal minefield which I would like to get a straight answer on. From the reading of the Motif licence agreement an acceptable Run-Time Copy (i.e. one that can be given away or sold without royalities to OSF) is one that does not generate any "object" part of the OSF/Motif (tm) User Environment.
