	  Welcome to the Open Motif Everywhere distribution
	   created by Integrated Computer Solutions (ICS)!

This software, is part of the ICS Open Motif Everywhere distribution. It is
made available under the terms of the Open Group Public License included in
the file license.txt. Please take a moment to review this license before
using the software. If you do not want to be bound by the terms of this
license, please remove the software from your system and if you purchased a
CD-ROM version, return it to your point of purchase.

It is our objective that Open Motif Everywhere:

 * Supports the widest possible combinations of open system software
   on popular hardware platforms
 * And that it includes the latest open source enhancements that makes
   Open Motif "Linux Friendly"


We expect that Open Motif Everywhere will continuously be updated and
enhanced. Consequently, we suggest that you subscribe to the Open Motif
Everywhere announcements mailing list (http://lists.motifzone.net/). When new
releases of Open Motif Everywhere or related software are made available,
we'll send you email so that you can download them!

Open Motif Everywhere has been tested on over 12 different combinations
Linux distributions and hardware platforms (Intel, Alpha, PPC, and Sparc).
If you need Open Motif Everywhere on a different Linux distribution and/or
hardware, we encourage you to visit the MotifZone (http://www.motifzone.net),
the center for open source developers extending Open Motif for the Linux
environment. At the MotifZone, you can download the Motif for the platform
you need for free. If the platform is not supported yet, why wait? Download
the source (also for free!) and compile it yourself!

While at the MotifZone, take time to explore some of the resources it
offers. We have stocked the MotifZone with a variety of key reference
articles and manuals, created the most comprehensive list of links
available anywhere for Motif related open source software,  hosted an
online magazine, The Motif Developer, and even created a variety of
discussion forums where you can ask (or provide!) help on Motif related
subjects.

Make sure that you explore the Motif Bazaar (http://www.motifzone.net/bazaar/)
while you are visiting the MotifZone. This is the roadmap to the open source
projects currently underway that will shape the version of Open Motif
Everywhere you will use tomorrow!  Maybe you have an idea, or want to make
your own enhancement? We'll be glad to host your project! Check the
MotifZone (http://www.motifzone.net) for further details.

If you downloaded this distribution, you might consider purchasing the
CD-ROM version. The CD-ROM version includes over 300mbytes of software
including:

 * Open Motif Everywhere for over 12 combinations of hardware and
   Linux/FreeBSD distributions
 * The source code to Open Motif
 * Full set of Motif 2.1 manuals in PDF format
 * Evaluation version of Builder Xcessory PRO, the leading GUI builder
   for Motif
 * 30 days of installation support if purchase from ICS or one of our
   authorized resellers.  See the support.txt file on this CD for more
   details on our support policy.

This CD-ROM is available for purchase at the MotifZone for only
$29.95 + shipping & handling!

ICS has a long history with Motif, perhaps longer than any other commercial
company in business today. Prior to Sun adopting Motif, ICS shipped more
copies of Motif for Sun workstations than any other independent supplier.
We have an extensive set of Motif GUI tools, including the industry's
leading GUI builder,  Builder Xcessory PRO.

As an user of Motif, you might also be interested to know that ICS is the
Motif front line support organization for The Open Group. Until now, you
could only contact us for support if you were a Motif source code licensee.
Otherwise, you contacted your computer system supplier, worked your way
through their support process, and then finally, they called us!

Today, if you are interested in purchasing support for Open Motif
Everywhere, we can provide it directly to you and avoid the middleman. If
you are interested, please send email to info@ics.com and we'll send you 
details. Alternatively, you can visit our corporate web site 
http://www.ics.com/ and review our offerings online. ICS also offers
consulting services for companies that require Motif and X engineering
expertise.  Please send email to info@ics.com with your requirements.

We at ICS hope that you find Open Motif Everywhere useful in your projects!
