!What do you find hard to believe. Digital has an excellent X11 Environment
!(XUI). To strengthen it's commitment to the OSF, DEC intends to migrate to a 
!MOTIF based environment over time. To avoid causing problems for it's existing
!installed base, this migration will not happen in one major release.
!Motif is available under a beta test type agreement to software vendors. Those
!that need it now, have access to it. THose that don't need it now, will get it
!in the near future.
