 Hi,

What did you download, the source or binaries?

The last time I looked at it there was enough internal documentation
to figure out how to install it. Everything goes in the usual X
locations.

The window manager mw takes a bit more effort. Just fire up your
web browser and do a search for mw. A number of universities
have pages on how to configure mw.

It still is a bit rough, so don't expect many applications
to run with generating errors or crashing. Even with some
simple programs I copied from my "How to Program Motif"
book generated quite a few run-time errors.

LessTif is still under development, unless you have a great
desire to assist with debugging it might be a better idea
to consider purchasing a commercial port.

Regards ...
