	because this question has come up in the past, I will pass along this
	article that was posted to the newsgroup comp.newprod on Oct 29. A
	friend of mine has recently ordered this Motif package. This is the
	first request of the package from outside of Europe, so there
	is still a money conversion difficulty for the distributor.

	If you wish to wait a couple days and there is an interest, a follow
	up on the product can be arranged. 

	-- Standard disclaimers: I am a pack-rat of files like these, but I
				 do not use Motif --

:OSF/Motif 1.1.2 is finally available for 386BSD-0.1
:
:The distribution is BINARY ONLY and is NOT FREE because of OSF licensing
:policy and royalty payment scheme.
:
:The cost of OSF/Motif for 386BSD is $120 + postage. This is the lowest
:fee I could come up with to cover all the expenses mainly due to 
:royalties to OSF and cartridge tapes.
:
:I have organized the following distribution tree:
:
:    bin:
:    mwm*	mxgdb*	uil*	xgen*
:    
:    include:
:    Mrm/	Xm/	uil/
:    
:    lib:
:    X11/	libMrm.a	libUil.a	libXm.a
:    
:    lib/X11:
:    XKeysymDB	app-defaults/	config.Motif/	system.mwmrc
:    
:    demos:
:    Imakefile	 hellohebrew/	motifburger/	mre/		widgetView/
:    Makefile	 hellokanji/	motifburint/	periodic/	xmsamplers/
:    dogs/	 hellomotif/	motifgif/	periodickanji/
:    fonts/	 motifanim/	motifshell/	uilsymdump/
:    
:    xgenDemos:
:    Example	Xgen.intro	dp.xbm		mtn.xbm
:    README.EX	address.list	gnu.xbm
:
:The size of the distribution is a little over 18M.
:
:As you will probably have noted I have included all the demos released
:by OSF and two non OSF applications. One is mxgdb, a OSF/Motif frontend
:to gdb written by jtsillas@sprite.ma30.bull.com. The other is xgen,
:a very usefull tool for creating graphical frontends to shell scripts
:or other Unix programs; xgen was written by kurt@zorro.cecer.army.mil.
:
:Everything is ready to run; you just have to extract the tape in
:your X11 installation.
:
:I can offer email, fax, phone (the order represents preference) support 
:for initial installation problems. There shouldn't be any since I've
:been using it for a while with 386BSD 0.1.40 kernel available on 
:agate.berkeley.edu. I didn't try the binary distribution of XFree86
:but used MIT X11R5 patchlevel 17 source tree + XFree86.
:
:If you have questions or are interested in purchasing OSF/Motif for 386BSD

:Just a last note. Please don't start a flame war about commercial use
:of usenet. I don't want (and won't) become rich with this operation, my main
:activity is completely different. I'm just very please with 386BSD
:(it's great!) and it would be nice to turn it in a new ODT; I'll soon
:start investigating the portability of Postgres or OBST on 386BSD.
:
:Thank you for your patience.
