This is a User Interface builder for Motif which we have been shipping for almost a year now. There is a simple, but powerful interface - you click on Motif icons, building up a widget hierarchy graphically. At the same time, the interface you are building can be exercised and checked. When you have the interface you want, you generate C. The C only requires X and Motif libraries.
