Much of the core technology in the HP widgets was adopted by the
Open Software Foundation and is now known as OSF/Motif.  The Motif 
widget set is supported on every major platform that supports the
X Window System -- which could be read as "freely available," but
not necessarily "free."

For availability of Motif for your workstation, contact your sales
or support folks.  (If you are on a Sun, you may need to contact a 
third-party software vendor to get Motif.  See the March issue of
UnixWorld for the latest scoop of Motif on Sun.)
