--------------------------------------------------------
I use IXI Motif Users Version and it works good.
--------------------------------------------------------
The fastest, best tested and approved by several US
Gov big boys (NASA, FAA) is from:
Metrolink, in Florida.
(305) 970-7353
Try this guy: morgan@metrolink.com
--------------------------------------------------------
As to a recommendation for a Motif library, I would recommend IXI.
--------------------------------------------------------
if you are running solaris 2.x, i would suggest going with the
version from sunsoft itself.
otherwise, i would suggest going with ixi since they supplied the
version that sunsoft ships for 2.x and they have it available for
1.x.
---------------------------------------------------------
I remember seeing in Sun World/Sun Expert that Sun was shipping the IXI
version of Motif until they could a) generate their own version or b) complete
a deal with a 3rd party (like IXI).

Cheap (US$ 300) and on CD.
Use in conjunction with X11R5 (included on CD).
Apply patch 100444-43 for XNeWS-Server in every case!

We have the IXI version here (1.2.1 I think). The support has been good,
with e-mailed responses to my faxes arriving pretty quickly and a follow
up call to check with me. They loose marks for having accidenly word-wrapped
their install scripts (Opps, it only affected the custom install) They claim
to have fixed a number of bugs and added some enhancements. Some are quite
useful. The IXI product was much less painful than buying the source, which
we did when I was at college.
