Scott and Steve, We have installed openmotif-2.1.30-6 on one of our RedHat 7.0 Linux machines, and I have verified the GUIs in 5.6.C.1 seem to perform as well as when using the third party Motif we had previously purchased. This should make it easier to keep up with Linux kernel updates. Openmotif is available for download separately, or bundeled with RH7 delux. If you aren't familiar with openmotif, here are some links: http://www.redhat.com/products/software/linux/pl_rhl7_powertools.html http://www.opengroup.org/openmotif/ http://slashdot.org/articles/00/05/15/1229207.shtml Steve ------------------------------------------------------------ Steve Chiswell Unidata User Support
