If you are doing X-level programming, perhaps. You can achieve the same
end with Motif by using UIL to specify the initial configuration of all
your windows. Then there's only a very small number of X/Motif calls you
need to make. If I remember correctly, you need a couple of Xt calls
(Initialize the application, main event loop), three MRM calls
(initialize, load the hierarchy from disk, get a handle for a given
widget name), and one MRM call for each widget-manipulation routine you
use. Its actually small enough where its hardly worth even buying
bindings. You can just write them as you need them.
