   I wrote my WsMatrixBox widget to do this sort of things (and
    many, many many more ). You can just say 2 columns, and it
   will give you ...8 rows, or you can ask for 8 rows and get 2
   columns - or you may let the user resize it and get 4x4 layout.

   I promise I will struggle hard to get permition to make this
   widget public domain, or some kind of Motif contrib. Yes, it is
   fully Motif compliant, you may have even 2 column pulldown full
   of gadgets -).

   In the menatime, you may try to look at Wcl distribution, which
   contains Motifized Tab widget, which will most likely do the job
   as well (I have no experience, using my animal all over the place).

But, at any rate. Welcome to the club.
