Why OpenWindows instead of Motif ?

[Peter Silva]

I don't know about Commodore specifically.  But For those of you
who are unitiated in the UNIX standards wars... There are two camps

OSF -- Open Software Foundation
	Big Blue, HP, Apollo, etc... love this.
	Kernel based on Mach (from CMU), Motif GUI.
	They call their unix OSF-x (starting at 1)

Unix International
	AT&T, Sun, and other hangers on.
	Kernel is SVR4,  GUI is Open Look.
	they call they unix  UNIX System V Release x (starting at 4)

OSF-1 has only been available to developers for a couple of months, while
SVR4 has been around for a good 2 years.  It is more stable, etc...

Commodore is just following the "standards" of the Unix International 
group.  It seems to be the appropriate thing to do.
