Premier Motif - The Industry's Most Reliable Version of Motif

Applications built with Premier Motif can adopt a Windows 3.1, Windows 95, or Motif look-and-feel with no source code changes. Premier Motif is built on industry standards and is available in developer and run-time versions.

Motif 1.2.5 with Motif Window Manager (mwm) now available for Solaris 7!

The availability of this software provides two key benefits to users and developers on Solaris 7:

  • For corporations migrating to Solaris 7, it eliminates the need to retrain end users of business applications. The original Motif Window Manager (mwm) is not included on Solaris 7. For corporations with large installed bases of end users, the differences in moving to a CDE platform can require significant training for end users. After installing the Premier Motif End User Pack and adjusting the configuration based on documentation we provide, end users can select their familiar mwm based environment at login.

  • Migrating to Motif 2.1 can require application changes, even if you take advantage of the built-in backwards compatibility of Motif 2.1. The development version of Premier Motif allows you to create Motif applications based on widely used Motif 1.2.5 release. If your existing applications are based on Motif 1.2.5 and you are planning to migrate to Solaris 7, using our Premier Motif could save you a significant amount of time and development energy.
