An article in comp.windows.x concerning testing caught my eye and wanted to ask
a similar question here.  What kind of testing experiences have various people
had and what, if any, repercussions have their been.  Have very many people
tried the: "well it runs,  ... ship it." approach with Motif?  Considering that
some organizations are likely to defer any problem to the knowledge and
expertise of OSF, it may be a strategy that can work.

Right now, I seem to be seeing a non trivial number of variances from test
results to the documentation, and don't know if this is a result of
a: the portation
b: portation of the test suite
c: inaccurate documentation
d: all of the above
and wonder if other peoples' experiences have been the same.

Also, is Xtm worth pursuing?

And, yes, it is Motif 1.0.  If I had the extra arm and the extra pair of eyes,
I would start the X11R4 and Motif 1.1 portation immediately.
many thanks to all respondees.
