A while ago, I purchased SWiM Motif 2.0 for FreeBSD from the ACC bookstore and, like you, all I received was a "cheesy" user manual for it. Sometime after that, I ordered SWiM Motif 2.0 for a FreeBSD machine at work. This time ACC screwed up and sent me the Linux version with CD-ROM (hmm, since I already had a copy of SWiM Motif 2.0 for FreeBSD, do I use that at work and keep the Linux version too?) The Linux version does not come with any documents other than the "cheesy" user manual. What you really want to get are the other OSF/Motif documents: OSF/Motif Style Guide OSF/Motif Programmer's Guide OSF/Motif Programmer's Reference OSF/Motif Widget Writer's Guide I recommend the Douglas Young book, the OSF/Motif Edition of "The X Window System Programming and Applications with XT", publisher Prentice Hall, ISBN 0-13-123803-5. He also has a similar book "Object-oriented Programming with C++ and OSF/Motif, which I just ordered. I order my books from ReadMe.Doc, which offers a standard %20 discount on all their books - even books they have to order. The Young C++/Motif book listed for $42.00 and ReadMe.Doc ordered it for me for $33.60.
