> Motif is the only native toolkit for Unix that supports large scale
> internationalized applications. It provides a complete set of widgets,
> such as buttons, scroll bars, menus, and dialog boxes, for developing
> graphical user interfaces. It also includes a library of functions for
> creating and manipulating those widgets. "The Motif widget set needs no
> introduction: everyone using a UNIX-based X workstation will have
> either used or programmed with it," says Antony Fountain, co-author of
> the new volume. "The Motif widget set offers the most feature-complete
> solution, and remains the best choice for standardized, large scale,
> industrial strength, mission critical, and internationalized
> applications."
> 
> The second edition of the "Motif Reference Manual" covers Motif 2.1, a
> robust release supported by the major workstation vendors, including
> Sun (Solaris 2.7), HP, and SGI. "Motif 2.1 offers an extended range of
> components which provide a consistent user interface, whether in terms
> of overall appearance and behavior, inter-component navigability, or
> data transfer. The components are rich in configurability, either from
> the programmer or the user perspective," says Fountain. "No other
> toolkit offers programmers greater power over the geometry management
> of their programs."
> 
> This book is designed to be used with "Volume 6A, Motif Programming
> Manual", which describes how to build applications using the Motif
> toolkit and provides a complete tutorial with programming examples.
> Both of these books are an integral part of the X Window System series
> from O'Reilly.
> 
> What a reader said about the previous edition:  "This is a 'must get'
> book for all the Motif programmers. Personally, I have bought several
> Motif books before I purchased the 'Motif Programming Manual'. Just
> forget others, and get this book to start with. The good points about
> this book compared to other Motif books: Plenty more examples than
> other books. For all programming standard, much more easy to read and
> follow. You can learn much more from the examples than other books. A
> very organized, efficient, and structural programming style. In
> conclusion, you can learn not only to be 'a good Motif programmer', but
> also 'to make full use of Motif."
