Metro Link releases Motif 2.0 for Linux

Metro Link has announced a release of Motif 2.0, OSF's popular graphical user interface. Metro Link Motif 2.0 is ported specifically for use with the new X11R6 version of the X Window System (XFree86 3.I.I. or higher). For developers, Motif 2.0 makes creation of software applications and custom widgets simple. For end users, Motif 2.0 improves their interface performance. The virtual screen support unclutters the workspace by providing alternate locations for chosen windows, while providing greater consistency with PC environments.
