This ftp server no longer allows shareware. The Xmt library carries a modest shareware licensing fee, so you will have to pick it up elsewhere. You can find the latest version of Xmt at: ftp.ora.com:/pub/power_tools/motif/ In case you don't already know what Xmt is, here is some more information, about release 1.2 of the library. MOTIF TOOLS LIBRARY V1.2 NOW AVAILABLE Version 1.2 of the "Motif Tools" library, Xmt, is now available for anonymous ftp from: ftp.ora.com:/pub/power_tools/motif/xmt-README ftp.ora.com:/pub/power_tools/motif/xmt-1.2.tar.Z This release fixes a number of bugs. There are some newly written man pages that were not in previous release, and there are some example programs. There are a number of other changes, detailed in the CHANGES file in the distribution. This is not a patch release to Xmt 1.1; you must take the entire Xmt 1.2 release. Xmt is a library of 9 widgets and about 250 convenience functions designed to make programming with Motif easier. I will be documenting the library in the book "Motif Tools" forthcoming from O'Reilly & Associates. Since the book will not be available for some months, I am making the library and man pages available to the public now. (Note that neither the book nor the Xmt library is related in any way to "Power Tools", a Motif product for VMS from Innovative Software.) Note that the Xmt library is "shareware". We encourage you to try it out, but if you use it, we ask that you send us a one-time $40 licence fee. This is explained in detail in the distribution. Features of the Xmt library include the following. See the README file for more information. + Simple message display--functions to display information, warning and error messages, with automatically created and cached dialog boxes. + Simple "blocking" input--functions to synchronously return strings, numbers, booleans, filenames, etc. with automatically created and cached dialog boxes. + The XmtMenu widget--describe a menu with an array of structures, or with a single resource in a resource file. + The XmtChooser widget--a single widget that can appear as a radio box, a check box, a list widget, a palette, or an option menu. Takes an array of strings or pixmaps to display as the choices, and maintains a single state variable. + The XmtCli widget--a "command line interface" with automatic prompting and command history. Has fprintf() and fgets() analogs for porting terminal-based applications. + The XmtMsgLine widget--a message line inspired by emacs. Supports synchronous input. + The XmtInputField widget--a text widget with input validation. + The XmtLayout widget--a general manager widget, using the TeX boxes-and-glue layout algorithm. Layout can be specified with a single string resource. Simpler than the Form widget, and more flexible than the popular Table widget; includes built in support for text and pixmap labels, separators and shadowed frames. + Online help--structured document browsing with the XmtHelpBrowser widget, and context-sensitive help with resource files and the simpler XmtHelpBox widget. + Support for multi-color pixmaps using the XPM format and a new datatype, the XmtColorTable. + Wcl-style automatic widget creation with improved syntax, templates and "styles". Also, an improved callback converter. + Automatic dialog creation--register a resource list when you create a dialog, and have the dialog automatically store its data in a specified location. If you don't have access to the internet to run ftp directly, but can send electronic mail on the internet, you get the Xmt distribution using the ftpmail service running at decwrl.dec.com. Send a message to "ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com" with no subject line and the single word "help" as the body. You will receive a reply that explains how to use the service to have anonymous ftp files mailed to you. David Flanagan david@ora.com Dovetail Systems
