	I have Tgif 2.4 *working* on VMS with the Motif window manager.  The
following diff shows the changes I made to get Tgif to come up and to be able
to open and save .obj files.

	The following changes where put in to save postscript files and to 
print postscript files directly from the program. I don't claim this is the
*best* way to fix this stuff, but it works for me.

	Besides these changes, I also created an LPR symbol that does
what it takes to print a postscript file on our system.  (We have Alisa Share
and Apple LaserWriters)  'LPR SYS$LOGIN:filename' is passed to VMS when you
select Print from the File menu.
