Volume 6A: Motif Programming Manual
By Dan Heller & Paula Ferguson
1016 pages, ISBN: 1-56592-016-3, $34.95 (US)

We have just released this manual for writing applications using the Motif
toolkit from the Open Software Foundation (OSF).  It goes into  detail on
every Motif widget class, with useful examples that will help  programmers
to develop their own code. It has been updated to Motif 1.2,  but is still
usable with Motif 1.1.  In addition to information on Motif,  the book is
full of tips about programming in general, and about user  interface
design. 

Contents include:

- An introduction to the Motif programming model, how it is based
  on the X Toolkit Intrinsics, and how it differs from them.
- Chapters on each of the Motif widget classes, explaining them
  in depth, with useful examples that will help you to improve
  your own code. For example, the chapter on menus shows how to
  develop utility functions that generalize and simplify menu
  creation. All of the code shown in the book is available free
  of charge over the Internet or via UUCP.
- Coverage of the drag and drop mechanism for transferring data.
  Two extensive examples show how to implement custom drag source
  and drop site functionality in a Motif application.

- A tutorial on UIL. The chapters on UIL describe all of the
  techniques used to create an interface with this prototyping
  tool. The numerous examples cover the basics and explore ways
  to use UIL to facilitate rapid prototyping.
