Answer: Most of these companies decided to move to CDE 1.0 first.  CDE 1.0
uses Motif 1.2.5, which is not binary compatible with Motif 2.0.

Motif 2.1 was released in February, 1997.  Motif 2.1 is compatible with CDE
2.1 and (mostly) Motif 1.2.  You should expect the big UNIX vendors to start
shipping Motif 2.1 when they start shipping CDE 2.1.
