55.23 SunSoft Announces Motif 1.2.2 Developers Kit
Motif toolkit for the Solaris 2.2 computing environment gives
software developers a head start in creating applications for
the new common desktop environment (CDE).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following SunSoft announcement was made on Tuesday, July 20, 1993.
SMCC will also price list the SunSoft Motif 1.2.2 Developer Toolkit. A
future SunFlash article will provide details regarding SMCC product
pricing and ordering information.
SUNSOFT OFFERS MOTIF TOOLKIT FOR SOLARIS 2.2
First Step Toward CDE Product
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., July 20, 1993 -- SunSoft, Inc. today announced
the availability of a Motif toolkit for the Solaris 2.2 computing
environment, giving software developers a head start in creating
applications for the new common desktop environment (CDE). Today's
announcement reinforces Sun's commitment to the common open software
environment process and is a first step toward the delivery of a
CDE-based product next year.
The new Motif 1.2.2 toolkit offers software developers a comprehensive
set of tools that include the Motif libraries, Motif Window Manager and
the User Interface Language (UIL) compiler. The toolkit is based on
the industry standard X Window System and X Toolkit Intrinsics from MIT
and works with X11R5 libraries, making it portable across a wide range
of hardware platforms. The toolkit also offers a broad set of drag and
drop operations, enabling developers to create graphically-rich user
models for data selection and transfer. The UIL compiler allows
developers to conduct rapid user interface design and prototyping
without requiring massive amounts of code, significantly reducing
application development time. In addition, the toolkit supports level 4
internationalization to provide easy software localization for the
European and Asian markets.
"SunSoft continues to demonstrate its commitment to open systems and
the cose process," said Jim Billmaier, vice president of marketing at
SunSoft. "With today's announcement we are providing our software
developers with the technologies needed to accelerate their move to the
new common desktop environment."
The common open software environment process was established in March
of this year by the UNIX leaders, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, USL, Santa Cruz
Operations and SunSoft. The process is intended to expedite the
adoption of standards and promote greater consistency and
interoperability among UNIX system products in the industry. Last
month, the companies submitted the CDE specification to the X/Open
organization and in October the companies will hold a developer
conference that will focus on technologies and application development
for this new environment.
Pricing and Availability
The SunSoft Motif 1.2.2 Developer Toolkit for Solaris 2.2 SPARC is
available immediately and is priced at $295 in single quantity. The
product includes a single compact disc (CD) with the Motif libraries,
UIL compiler, the Motif Window Manager and on-line documentation.
Internationalized European and Japanese versions will be available by
the end of the year. A Motif toolkit for the Solaris x86 environment
will be available in 90 days. Pricing will be announced at that time.
Sun Microsystems Computer Corporation (SMCC) will price list the

MOTIF 1.2.2 Developers Toolkit for Solaris 2.2
SunFLASH Vol 56 #8 August 1993
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
56.08 MOTIF 1.2.2 Developers Toolkit for Solaris 2.2
- Comprehensive set of tools and standard API to create
applications with a Motif look-and-feel GUI.
- Includes Motif 1.2.2 libraries, Motif Window Manager
and UIL compiler.
- Based on X11r5 libraries and supports Level 4 Internationalization
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Microsystems Computer Corporation (SMCC) announces the availability
of SunSoft's Motif 1.2.2 Developer's Toolkit for Solaris(R) 2.2 operating
environment. This Motif Toolkit provides software developers with a
comprehensive set of tools for creating applications with a Motif
look-and-feel graphical user interface (GUI). It includes the
Motif 1.2.2 libraries, the Motif Window Manager and a UIL compiler.
The Motif graphical user interface provides application developers, end
users and hardware system vendors with the industry's popular environment
for standardizing application presentation on a wide range of
X-Window-System (X11r5) based platforms.
Product Description
--------------------
Motif 1.2.2 Developer's Toolkit is an unbundled, shrink-wrapped package
containing a Motif CD, hardcopy Motif 1.2 user's guide, Motif 1.2.2
Installation & Release Manual and RTU license. The CD includes the Motif
Toolkit, header files, and the Motif Window Manager (mwm). All related
Motif 1.2 documentation (Programmer's Guide, Programmer's Reference and
Motif Style Guide) are included online in PostScript(R) file format. A
separate hardcopy Motif 1.2.2 Documentation Set containing a Programmer's
Guide, Programmer's Reference and a Motif Style Guide can also be ordered.
New functionality provided by the Motif 1.2.2 Toolkit includes:
- new functions for focus management, list management, scrolled window,
baseline alignment
- a cleaned-up geometry management
- new widget features such as extended titled frame widget, new template
dialog box
- drag-and-drop support
- 16-bit I18N
- tear-off menus
This toolkit is an add-on to the OpenWindows(TM) developer environment
for Solaris. Potential customers are ISVs, VEUs, OEMs, and other
software developers who would want to develop applications with a Motif
GUI for end users.
In general, any organization that wants to develop Motif 1.2.2 based
applications on Solaris 2.2 is a potential customer.
This Motif 1.2.2 Toolkit is being offered by Sun as part of it's
transition process towards the Common Open Software Environment (COSE)
and the Common Desktop Environment (CDE). It provides software developers
with a quick, easy and cost-effective transition to CDE. Note that
the foundation of the CDE/Motif Toolkit is OSF/Motif 1.2.2 Toolkit,
on which this product is based. (See the Question and Answer section for
more details).
The Motif Window Manager (mwm) is included as part of this product
primarily because mwm is required for software developers to produce
Motif-based applications. This DOES NOT imply that Sun is making mwm
the default window manager for end users. Sun's goal is a clean migration
to CDE, and CDE will use a version of HP's VUE window manager. Until CDE
ships from Sun, the OPEN LOOK(R) window manager (olwm) will continue to be
the default.
Sun's current XView and OLIT Toolkits will both continue to be supported
and their quality will be improved for the foreseeable future. There will
be no new functionality added to either XView(TM) or OLIT. Applications based
on XView or OLIT need not be converted to Motif. But, for new applications,
we recommend that Motif 1.2.2 be the toolkit of choice.
Features & Benefits
-------------------
* Quality
This toolkit is based on the Motif 1.2.2 patch release from OSF, which
is a quality release containing approximately 250 bug fixes for the
OSF/Motif 1.2 Toolkit.
* Standards and Portability
This toolkit is based on industry standard X Window System and X
Toolkit Intrinsics from MIT. It works with X11r5 libraries, which are
supplied with with Solaris 2.2 (SPARC) operating system as well as
several other operating systems, making it portable across a wide
range of hardware platforms.
* Level 4 Internationalization
Software developers can use Motif 1.2.2 Toolkit library interfaces in
conjunction with Xlib application programming interface (API) to
produce GUI applications that are localizable for both Asian and
European markets. This release of Motif 1.2.2 Toolkit will work with
the Asian Solaris input method server 'htt'.
* Drag and Drop
The toolkit supports a set of Drag and Drop operations, allowing
software developers to provide graphically rich user models for
selecting and transferring data within a Motif application and
between Motif applications.
* User Interface Language (UIL)
UIL provides a means of describing the initial state of a Motif
application in a set of modules outside the application code. The
benefits of this include fast prototyping, easy localization and
logical separation of the functionality of the application from the
user interface.
Other Available Motif Toolkits:
------------------------------
1. Integrated Computer Sysytems (ICS, Cambridge, Mass.)
ICS offers Motif 1.2.2 Developer Kit on Solaris 2.2(SPARC(R))
starting at $525 for the initial RTU, with an aggressive volume
discount schedule. The ICS Motif 1.2.2 product includes Motif
libs, mwm, UIL compiler and online documentation.
ICS is also offering Motif Window Mgr(mwm) separately for end
users at $185 for single license. This is an enhanced mwm
compared with OSF mwm, but preserves the API.
ICS also offers hardcopy Motif 1.2 documentation at $130 per set.
2. IXI Ltd. (Cambridge, UK)
IXI is currently offering Motif 1.1.5 and 1.2.1 for Solaris 2.1
(SPARC) Developer's Kit for $595 for the initial RTU, with
aggressive volume discounts.These products contain software
media, mwm and release notes. Motif documentation in
PostScript format is not included in these products. Motif
Window Manager (mwm) is available separately for end users for
$149.
Hardcopy IXI Motif documentation set is available for $175.
IXI Motif 1.2.2 for Solaris 2.1(SPARC) and Solaris 2.2(SPARC)
will be released by end-July. No major change in price is
expected.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
---------------------
Q. What components are being provided for Motif development?
A. libXm, libuil, libMrm, Motif Window Manager, UIL Compiler,
some demos with source, Motif online manual pages and the complete
suite of Motif Rev 1.2 documentation online in PostScript format.
Q. What are the Motif 1.2.2 Toolkit product dependencies?
A. libXm requires Release 5 or later of libX11. These are present
in OpenWindows in Asian Solaris 2.1 and Solaris 2.2. Solaris releases
earlier than Asian Solaris 2.1 (including Domestic Solaris 2.1) will
need Release 5 for libX11 and libXt from elsewhere.
Q. Can Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) distribute their applications
with Sun's Motif libraries?
A. Yes, ISVs can distribute their applications with Sun's Motif
libraries, either statically or dynamically linked. Both forms of the
Motif libraries exist in the product. Sun has OSF Motif Full
Distribution Rights, which covers OSF licenses for our customers
and also licenses for end users. There are no royalty payments to
Sun associated with this product.
Q. Are there royalty payments for Motif binaries? Are there any customer
reporting requirements on a "per-copy" basis to Sun?
A. There are no royalty payments to Sun associated with this product.
However, the distribution of any product other than a Run-Time copy
must be accounted for on a "per-copy" basis and reported to SunSoft on
a quarterly basis (e.g. shared libraries, mwm, UIL). The OSF defines "Run
Time Copy" as a copy of any subset of routines from the "libXm" or "libMrm"
library files in object code form which is statically linked within an
application program and executable only within that single application.
Q. Can ISVs ship SunSoft mwm to end users with their application.
A. Sun will not support mwm on end user desktop environment. Therefore,
ISVs should not ship SunSoft mwm with their applications to end users.
Third party mwm alternatives are available, but OPEN LOOK applications
will suffer some loss of functionality by using a third party mwm.
Q. If I start programming to this Motif API, am I likely to encounter problems
in future releases?
A. Compatibility with other products is at two levels:
1. Source compatibility:
The API for this product is the Motif 1.2 API published by OSF.
Source code you produce using this product will compile and run with
other Motif implementations compliant with the OSF/Motif 1.2 API.
This includes any future Motif 1.2 based products from SunSoft.
2. Binary compatibility:
This concerns you if your applications are dynamically linked with Motif
shared libraries. The goal is to ensure that applications dynamically
linked with this release will continue to work with future Motif
releases. If in the future changes are made to Motif that would
jeopardize this compatibility, measures will be taken to ensure that
existing applications can still link with a library that will satisfy
them. In addition, applications linked with Motif 1.2 products from
third parties should in theory work with this SunSoft Motif 1.2.2
release. Under certain circumstances, applications or widget
subclasses may have been written to rely on layout or contents of
Motif private data structures. Some private data structures in this
release (taken from IXI) are different than in releases from other
Motif vendors. Applications dynamically linked with another vendor's
Motif 1.2 libraries may break when linked dynamically with SunSoft
Motif 1.2.2 if they rely on details of components whose private
implementations differ between the two releases. Details of components
that fall into this category are listed in the product release notes.
Q. How do OPEN LOOK and Motif applications interact on the desktop?
A. The Motif Toolkit is ICCCM compliant. Both Cut-and-Paste and Drag-and-Drop
operations will work between two Motif applications or between two OPEN LOOK
applications. The Cut-and-Paste operation will work in a limited way from
an OPEN LOOK application to a Motif application. It will not work at all
from a Motif application to an OPEN LOOK application. Work is in progress
to make Cut-Copy-Paste operations work both ways between OPEN LOOK and
Motif applications in future releases of OpenWindows and Motif.
Also, Motif applications will run on the OPEN LOOK window manager, and,
OPEN LOOK applications will run on the Motif window manager.
Q. How will this Motif Toolkit relate to the CDE/Motif Toolkit?
A. The foundation of the CDE/Motif Toolkit is OSF/Motif 1.2.2
Toolkit, on which this product is based. The goal is to achieve
binary compatibility between Motif toolkit releases. Because of IXI
proprietary extensions and bug-fixes, this cannot be guaranteed between
the IXI-based product and the first CDE Toolkit product for applications
or widget subclasses that use the affected components. See the product
release notes for details regarding incompatibilities.

* Port existing Motif applications from other platforms to Sun computers * Build new Motif applications for the Sun * Run your applications under Sun's X server or the one provided in the kit * Use a common user interface across a wide range of platforms * mwm (Motif Window Manager) now available for Sun computers
Created for both developers and users, UniPress Software's Motif Kits make it easy to port, build and run Motif applications on Sun computers. The Motif Developer's Kit allows new Motif 1.2 programs to be built quickly, and existing Motif applications to be easily ported from other platforms to Sun. For endusers, the Motif User's Kit provides the Motif Window Manager (mwm). Each kit is sold separately.
MOTIF DEVELOPER'S KIT *********************
Developers can now bring Sun users the Motif GUI they're accustomed to using on HP, DEC, and IBM UNIX platforms. With the Motif Developer's Kit, Sun developers and ISVs can rapidly build new Motif 1.2 applications, and easily port existing Motif applications from other platforms.
The Performance Edge -------------------- UniPress' Motif Developer's Kit provides a distinct edge in performance. UniPress includes an optimized X11R5 server that is smaller and faster than Sun's Open Windows X server. Applications developed with the UniPress Kit may also be run with Sun's X server. And, since UniPress has rigorously tested its Motif Developer's Kit, you can be assured that Motif applications ported from HP, DEC and IBM platforms will link and perform properly on Sun.
The Productivity Edge --------------------- By assembling and enhancing Motif and X11 into an integrated, Sun-based development package, UniPress helps eliminate the time-consuming start-up period in the development cycle. Developers can be productive from day one.
The Motif Developer's Kit has everything you need: * The Motif Toolkit, including all libraries * A complete X11R5 * UIL (Motif User Interface Language) * mwm (Motif Window Manager) * Many Motif and X11 applications including xterm, xclock, xcalc etc. * A full set of documentation * Support from UniPress
Motif Libraries --------------- The Motif Developer's Kit distribution includes shared and unshared versions of the Motif libraries, related C header files, Motif Window Manager (mwm), Motif User Interface Language (UIL), and sample programs. UniPress Motif may be used with UniPress' included X11R5 server, or Sun's X server. The libraries include:
libMrm.a libXau.a libXext.a libXmu.a libXt.sa.5.0 libUil.a libXaw.a libXinput.a libXmu.sa.5.0 libXt.so.5.0 libX11.a libXaw.so.5.0 libXm.a libXmu.so.5.0 liboldX.a libX11.so.5.2 libXdmcp.a libXm.so.2.0 libXt.a liboldX.so.5.0
With these libraries you can create user interface components such as dialog boxes, scroll bars and pull-down menus. Online documentation, fonts, and IMAKE configuration language and scripts are included. mwm is the Motif Window Manager used for manipulating application windows. UIL is Motif's specification language for interface design.
Optimized X11R5 for the Sun --------------------------- UniPress provides an X11R5, built and tested for the Sun, that takes advantage of the resources of the Sun for superior performance. It includes an X server, more than 80 standard X clients, twm and uwm window managers, and all the libraries and header files needed to compile X applications. The X clients include:
imake bdftopcf mkfontdir fsinfo fslsfonts fstobdf showfont fs kbd_mode constype showrgb appres bitmap bmtoa atobm editres listres oclock twm viewres xauth xbiff xcalc xclipboard xcutsel xclock xcmsdb xconsole xditview xdpyinfo xedit xfd xkill xload xlogo xlsatoms xlsclients xlsfonts xmag xman xmh xmodmap xpr xdpr xprop xrdb xrefresh xfontsel xdm xhost xinit startx xset xsetroot xstdcmap xterm resize xwd xwud xwininfo xcmstest xgas ico maze puzzle xeyes xev xgc x11perf x11perfcomp auto_box beach_ball plbpex xmkmf mkdirhier lndir xon makedepend mwm uil xmbind mxmkmf Xsun XsunMono
The distribution also includes all patches distributed by MIT and the relevant OSF/Motif patches required for Motif, kept current by UniPress. Even if you are required to work with another X environment, such as Sun's X server, you will still be able to use the UniPress Motif Developer's Kit. The UniPress Kit's X11 server is much smaller than the X/NeWS server, giving optimized performance. The Motif Developer's Kit also includes a full Motif 1.1 and X11R4 distribution.
Full Set of Documentation ------------------------- Documentation for the UniPress Developer's Kit exists in both online and hardcopy forms. Included as hardcopy in the Kit are UniPress Release Notes, OSF/Motif Programmer's Guide, OSF/Motif Programmer's Reference, X Toolkit Intrinsics Programming Manual (O'Reilly), and the Motif Programming Manual (O'Reilly).
UNIPRESS MOTIF USER'S KIT *************************
With the UniPress Motif User's Kit, the industry-standard mwm is now available for Sun computers. The Motif User's Kit includes a five-user bundle of the mwm window manager, which has been optimized for Sun platforms by UniPress. With the Motif User's Kit, applications developed with the Motif Developer's Kit can be instantly run on individual Sun workstations, giving complete Motif look-and-feel. Since the UniPress Motif User's Kit is bundled in five-unit packages, the UniPress Kit gives not only the best performance, but the best value, for the price.
Documentation ------------- Documentation for the UniPress Motif User's Kit is in hardcopy form and includes the UniPress Release Notes and five copies of the mwm manual.
Pricing and Availability ------------------------ The UniPress Motif Developer's Kit is available for Sun SPARC computers and is priced at $645 with manuals, or $495 without manuals. Discounts are available on larger quantities. The UniPress Motif User's Kit 5-user pack (five mwm licenses) is available for Sun SPARC computers and is priced at $750 - the lowest-priced mwm on the market today. A single user license is $175.
