SUBJECT:  THE VERY LATEST MOTIF, VERSION 1.2.4
                IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR LINUX.

A port of the OSF's Motif 1.2.4 GUI is available for 
the first time for the Linux OS.  The product, called 
SWiM 1.2.4 , allows many Motif based applications 
developed for Risc-Unix workstations to be 
recompiled and run on Linux PC's.   

Among other improvements Motif 1.2.4, which
SWiM is now based on, enables the Kanji (Japanese)
character set to be used in Motif applications for 
the first time.

SWiM 1.2.4 is a complete runtime and development 
environment providing all the necessary files to 
develop OSF/MotifR 1.2.4 compatible applications . 
It enables programmers and developers of Unix 
applications which require Motif's Window Manager 
and Static Libraries to develop and test these 
applications on their Linux PC's before deploying 
them on corporate Unix networks.

Previously only version 1.2.3 of motif had been 
available to Linux users.

EACH PACKAGE INCLUDES:
-mwm (The Window Manager)
-Shared Library (libXm, libMrm) [Linux, FreeBSD]
-Static Libraries (libXm, libMrm and libUil)
-UIL Compiler
-Header and Include Files
-Complete On-line Manual Pages
-Source code to OSF/Motif demo programs
-Complete OSF/Motif Users Guide

LICENSING OF SWiM:
As a licensed copy of OSF's Motif 1.2.4 code, SWiM 
1.2.4 users must abide by the OSF's license 
agreement which, similar to other commercial 
software licenses,  include restrictions on running 
SWiM on more than one computer at a time without 
purchasing additional licenses.  SWiM 1.2.4 is from 
GUI Corporation, a licensee of the OSF.

CAN I DISTRIBUTE MY APPLICATIONS ROYALTY 
FREE?
Yes, you are permitted to distribute your 
applications created with SWiM as long as no 
source, library, or file in the SWiM 1.2.4 package is 
distributed.   Statically linking your application 
with the libXm or libMrm libraries for use only by 
that application will permit you to pass your final 
application binaries license-free on to other users 
who may or may not have SWiM 1.2.4 libraries on 
their system.
Step-by-step instructions in the Release Notes walk 
you through the steps of compiling an application.  
Examples are given for both static and dynamic 
linking. 

SWiM is also available for Coherent 4.2, BSD/386 
1.1, FreeBSD 1.1,  and NetBSD 0.9
