Installing lesstif is a waste of time. Its a useless piece of junk, and people like RedHat and other distribution vendors are to blame.

Maybe it was all a big plot to kill off the motif world completely.

Motif had plenty of time to make itself available before anyone tried to clone it. You don't need to blame anyone else for killing it off.

Yes, if Motif had been open, or lesstif had worked from the start, a lot of things could be about a decade ahead of where they are now...
