About this title

Synopsis

Describes how to write applications using the Motif toolkit from the Open Software Foundation (OSF), going into detail on every Motif widget class, with useful examples to help programmers develop their own code. Tips on programming in general are also included. The authors assume competence with C and familiarity with fundamental X Window System concepts. Chapters are marked by uncut tabs for easy location. The manual is updated for Motif 1.2, but still usable for Motif 1.1. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

About the Author

Dave Brennan is a senior software engineer at HaL Computer Systems, where he is a member of the On-Line Information Access System (OLIAS) group. He is responsible for the user interface of the on-line documentation browser, as well as a number of other insidious hacks to which he'll never admit. In addition, Dave maintains the Emacs lisp archive at Ohio State University.

Dan Heller has a degree in Computer and Information Sciences from the University of California, Santa Cruz. He has developed end-user applications, integrating various well-known user interface styles from SunView to Motif to Open Look, as well as the design of his own interface toolkit. Dan has started his own company, called Z-Code Software, which designs and develops X-based applications for the commercial market. Its first product is Z-Mail, an electronic mail package that runs under Motif, Open Look, and nongraphical displays. Dan is also the author of O'Reilly & Associates' Motif Programming Manual.

Paula Ferguson is the Executive Editor for O'Reilly Web and Scripting editorial group.
