Does that mean that Motif will eventually become available via expo / the network? How about the $1000 licence fee OSF is requiring? The Motif intrinsics were made available to the MIT X Consortium as part of the process of converging on the R4 intrinsics. This is independent of obtaining the OSF/Motif offering from OSF. Contact OSF or your favorite OSF vendor for more information. Some of the value added features of the Motif Xt will be in the R4 intrinsics, along with many of the bug fixes. Other features will either not be in the MIT R4 or will be in a different guise. It is HP's (and OSF's) intention to fully conform to the R4 intrinsics (once they become available) in future releases of OSF and HP intrinsics-based software. Gabe Beged-Dov
