The install script that came with their Motif has been totally revamped by Jordan by that time, and still, their tarballs suffered from some severe oddities (wrong permissions, duplicate files). HOWEVER, they have been passing this on to us for an alpha test, and most of the problems have been corrected in the final version, often following our suggestions. (Installing somewhere else than /usr/X11R6 is also possible now, it hasn't been before, either.) It looks they had also better passed on CDE for an alpha test... -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
