“Metro Link Inc. (http://www.metrolink.com/index.html),
leading provider of Motif GUI software, has released Open Motif
with Metro Link’s enhancements and bug fixes, available for free
FTP download.”
“In May 2000, The Open Group, owners of the Motif user interface
toolkit technology, released the Motif source code for royalty-free
use, reproduction, and distribution on Open Source operating
systems such as Linux and FreeBSD. As an official supporter of the
Open Motif initiative, Metro Link is now providing freely
downloadable Motif binary packages based on this source code.”
“Metro Link’s package is an enhanced version of Open Motif,
which includes approximately 30 significant bug fixes and
enhancements to the Motif libraries and window manager, plus many
minor source changes and over 100 fixes to the Motif demo source
code. These changes were developed for Metro Link’s commercial
Motif products, and are now being contributed back to Open
Motif.”
