I am about to start porting my application written under Motif 1.0 to
Motif 1.1, and I have two questions.  

Does anybody have an opinion on whether I should use a vendor supplied 
Motif product, or is it better to get the source direct from OSF and 
compile it myself?  In particular, the machine is a DecStation 3100, I
could buy DEC's Motif 1.1 developers kit, but the University is in the
process (long and drawn out) of getting a campus-wide motif source
license.  What are the advantages and disadvantages of the two
approaches?

The second question is, what is available in terms of Motif 1.1
documentation? I assume that both of the above approaches would give me
on-line man-pages. But what about a comprehensive document explaining
what has been changed in 1.1 (more than a list of new function names)?
Is the Prentice Hall OSF-Motif series available for 1.1 yet? How about
the Young book?
