     The  University  of  Lowell  has developed with a grant from OSF
     a C++ binding for the OSF Motif toolkit. 

     The following features are included:

      o  Completely hides the concept of a widget from the programmer.
         C++ objects are provided corresponding to the widgets with
         the necessary methods.

      o  All the Intrinsics functions are also available as methods.

      o  ANSI compatible header files are provided for the Xm, Xt and
         Xlib libraries.

      o  Convenient macros are provided for making the C++ program
         look clean.

      o  Widget resources are now methods in the C++ object. All the
         methods are provided for creating new class constructors.

      o  Complete Source Code

      o  Reasonable documentation, and demo programs.

     The software is available on any system running X11R3. Currently
     it is available for both the GNU's C++ compiler g++ v 1.37.1 and the
     AT&T C++ v 2.0 translator. We are currently working on making it
     available under X11R4 and Motif 1.1.
    
     The software is available through either ftp or a 9 track reel
     magnetic tape for $250.
