We are doing development under Linux on those platforms, and Motif is available for them. (I am using XFree/Motif-2.0/Linux on a PC at the moment.) We are also testing the claim that DEC Unix and Linux for Alphas will transparently run one another's binaries. I am not an expert there, but I understand it to generally work. Compilation by GNAT. You would need a set of Motif/Ada wrappers, but that's not specific to your hosts if you can get Ada or C source for the wrappers. You can peruse Linux info at: http://www.redhat.com and also at: http://www.cc.gatech.edu/ftp/linux/welcome.html and finer mirrors near you. I mention Red Hat because they offer a parallel set of distributions on Intel, Alpha, and Sparc architectures. There are other distributions and many repackagers, as discussed in the FAQs you will find at those sites. For what it's worth ... -- John M.
