The current IBM XONDOS product, IBM X-Windows for IBM DOS Version 1.1, 
does not support the OSF Motif window manager, which is the primary window 
manager for the RISC System/6000 (and much better than AIXWM,isn't it?)

A new version, 2.1, has been announced for March 22 availability. 
Among the enhancements are extended memory support (up to 16 MB) and
support for additional NICs (Network Interface Cards).

Does anyone know if Version 2.1 will support OSF Motif?   (And if it does 
not, why not?)
