We looked at these products a while ago, some of which were suggested
by readers of this group.  These are all for the RS6000.

IBM - They are working on a product but it is not yet available.  We
      could not get much info on this on eyet.

TeleUSE  -  An interesting and expensive product.  It runs on a number
of different platforms, including RS6000 and Sun.  Kind of strange to
see the motif look on the Sun for the first time.  Programming is 
done in a rule based language they call D.  It outputs C code, that
makes it attractive for portability.

ezX - requires a run-time library for other machines that need to run
the executable.  I believe this can be exported freely, but I am not
100% sure.

XBuild - writes C code directly, code is portable without requiring
run-time libraries, source code is available for additional $'s.

XFaceMaker2 - Programming is done in a proprietary language, but
there is a C code generation option, requires libraries.

These are the only products we've found that will run on the RS6000 and
generate a motif interface.   If you would like vendor names and 
addresses I am sure I can dig them up.  Another member of our group
took a closer look and can provide more detailed information if
needed.  Some of the above comments are his, in fact.
