Motif

Digital UNIX Version 4.0 supports the entire suite of CDE Motif Version 1.0 components, including the widget library (Xm), the resource manager (Mrm), the widget metalanguage (wml), the User Interface Language (UIL), the Motif window manager (mwm), the key binding utility (xmbind), and the Motif Demonstration programs (examples).

In Motif Version 1.2 the OSF has added support for ANSI C, Internationalization, Drag and Drop, and TearOff Menus. Unfortunately, however, much of this support required breaking binary compatibility with Motif Version 1.1.3.

To mitigate this problem, Digital UNIX Version 4.0 provides the Motif Version 1.1.3 libraries through its versioning functionality to allow applications that are linked against Motif 1.1.3 to continue to run. These libraries are available in an optional subset. For more information on versioning, see the Programmer's Guide and Chapter 7.

The following sections briefly discuss these Digital extensions to Motif:

• Digital Extended Widget Set

• Digital X Clients

For more information on Motif, see the OSF/Motif Programmer's Guide, DECwindows User's Guide, and the appropriate reference pages. For information on Motif support for internationalization, see Chapter 10.
