This following may be of interest to public domain purists. LessTif is a freeware version of Motif from the Hungry Programmers. It is still in development and is intended to be source code compatible with Motif, meaning that the same source will compile with both libraries and work exactly the same. [Thanks to John W. Carbone, jwc@li.net, Chris Toshok (toshok@hungry.com), and Jon Fo (jonf@protocol.com)] For more information, see http://www.lesstif.org/ Tcl/Tk is available for ftp from allspice.berkeley.edu, and although implemented without Xt, has a "strict Motif" mode. There is also Tix, the Tk Interface Extension. See: http://www.sunlabs.com/research/tcl/ http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~ioi/tix/tix.html Strom Sytems (18666 Redmond Way o-2118, Redmond, WA 98052-6725) have a Simple Toolkit for X-Windows (sic) that appears to follow the Style Guide even though it doesn't quite look like Motif. MOOLIT is a USL product that can be runtime switched between the Sun Open Look and Motif appearance. It is based on OLIT 4i. Interviews is a C++ based product with appearance similar to Motif. A ftp- able version of the source code and documentation can be found on interviews.stanford.edu. Fresco (http://www.iuk.tu-harburg.de/fresco/) and ivtools (http://www.vectaport.com/ivtools/) are based on Interviews. Simon J. Lyall (simon@darkmere.midland.co.nz) reported about a package called: Xu-lib & Widget Set- a library & widget set to "emulate" the look&feel and the programming interface of Motif. Contact the author Udo Baumgart (U.BAUMGART@ldb.han.de) for details. User Contributions:Top Document: Motif FAQ (Part 2 of 9) Previous Document: 36) Will CDE and Motif converge?
