Greetings,

   I'm attempting what I hope will be a fairly straight forward
project.  We are migrating some tools from an older VAX platform to
Solaris.  The tool depens heavily on a GUI developed using Motif and
its UIL.

   One option is to rewrite the interface in something like GtkAda and
attempt to connect the new interface to the original base code. This
approach would be the most intensive.
   The other approach would be to find replacement libraries (Motif,
X) so that the majority of the code can be recompiled.  (cheap or free
if possible)
   I would like advice/input on if it is possible to find the correct
libraries for Solaris or weather I should set out on rebuilding the
interface.

   Any input would be appreciated.

   Thanks,
      George Clark
