[snip] Motif on OLIT, if I remember that correctly. Sort of a Motif look and feel but without the need to purchase a license for Motif which you had to do at the time (that is, in order to even RUN a motif linked application, you needed the shared libraries which you could pretty much only get by purchasing a license.. there was probably other ways, and it has been a LONG time ago). Our group at AT&T used it to keep from having to have the customer buy anything additional for a release but who also wanted "Motif". I don't honestly remember if you coded in OLIT or Motif, but probably OLIT, but the end result was something that sort of looked like Motif in the end. -- Brad Spencer - brad@anduin.eldar.org - KC8VKS - http://anduin.eldar.org
