Open Look is the GUI in the SVR4 package. This is because of the AT&T - SUN
connections. Last I heard there were about 100 English language applications
available for Open Look, ( dont ask me for the names of these apps. ask SUN )
and only a dozenful available for Motif. This was now some months ago.
As far as I know Motif has not yet been ported to SVR4.
