Hi,

Have you been able to get the static libraries compiled? I need to switch 
over to static libs for debugging mwm. Yesterday I managed to get mwm to 
do a core dump on one of my own motif apps.

The dynamic libs compiled ok, but the when I try and make the static 
versions some of the linking for clients fails.

There was another current snapshot release about 2 days after 0.71.

The documentation project does seem to be lagging a bit. Most people 
won't want to buy the OSF documentation set.

Regards Richard ...
