Larry,

RH 7.0 deluxe now comes with openmotif (or it can be downloaded from metro),
so that is the route I am looking at rather than lesstif.

The developers at COMET used a software development environment for
the gui work, so the directory locations are for COMET's computer-
but the $GARPHOME/icons location is supposed to override that location.

We'll see how openmotif handles this.
