Hi,

I know that there are two legal ways to get Motif running on Sun.

1. Get Motif sources from OSF and compile them on your Sun.
   - $1,000.00 for source. Do it yourself style.

2. Get Motif binaries already compiled for you from VAR. For example,
   Quest Systems offers "Quest OSF/Motif" as their product.
   - $500.00 ~ $1,000.00 with suppport.

   Quest Systems Corporation
   3333 Bowers Avenue, Suite 130,
   Santa Clara, CA95054
   (408) 496-1900

I don't have my opinion about which is better. I have had a contact
with Quest, but I didn't buy their Motif because we were not ready.
I believe that there are also other venders who can supply Motif for
Sun users. This is just for your information.
