This is a request for comments on Metro Link's OSF/Motif 1.2.2.
Replies will be summarized to c.o.l. on June 1.
I'm considering purchasing Metro Link's OSF/Motif 1.2.2 runtime and
development system for Linux. Before doing so, I'd like to get
opinions on this product from anyone and everyone who has already
acquired and used it. Comments as to its stability, usability,
and completeness from both a user, and especially a developer,
viewpoint will be appreciated.
Please mail your comments to me (hal@pollux.cs.uga.edu), and I will
summarize to c.o.l. on June 1. (The Metro Link introductory offer
expires on June 10).
For anyone unfamiliar with the product, what follows is the original
announcement of its availability. By including this, I hope to avoid
mail requesting information on this product. Having said that, any
mail I get asking about Metro Link's product, and not containing any
comments on the product, will not be answered or acknowledged.
