And well you shouldn't.  I don't know where the original information
came from, but it is most definitely wrong.  HP-UX 8.0 contains
OSF/Motif 1.1 code, with all critical/serious fixes from 1.1.1 rolled
in.

I also seriously doubt that our OSF contract would allow us to ship the
code before release to other OSF members, but I must admit to ignorance
of the contract details.
