Don't know if this would give more than http://www.lesstif.org/
which I suspect the Linux world might be using as of today (due
to the different license conditions).

I never made it beyond the Pizza example. And as far as I heard,
Motif app's can be quite a resource hog regarding network traffic
(e.g. if each and every mouse movement is reported back to your
application program). But I am definitely a Motif layman (only
was a Motif user until "they" took away my UX workstation...)

So maybe someone else can shed some light if Motif would have
any benefit for MPE/iX GUI applications compared to what Java
and Swing already provide as of today.
