IBM showed it at various fairs as 'technology demo' - which means that you can't get what you see. IBM Austria has a beta release of the product which will be shipping in the next couple of month. Possibly it will come with the announcment of AIX 3.x for the new RISC family. I couldn't get a hand on the beta code, so I can't tell anything about it yet. If you are a software crack, you could try to order the MOTIF sources directly from OSF on port it yourself. I think OSF is going to ship MOTIF right now to the rest of the world. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ EDV Ges.m.b.H Vienna Johann Schweigl Hofmuehlgasse 3 - 5 USENET: johnny@edvvie.at A-1060 Vienna, Austria Tel: (0043) (222) 59907 257 (8-19 CET)
