For developers, Motif 2.0.1 makes creation of software applications and
custom widgets simple. The many toolkit enhancements, new widgets, and UIL
improvements provide uncomplicated application portability across a variety
of platforms. 

New for this edition is the KL Group's XRT Professional Developer's Suite 
(PDS), a package of market-leading widgets and utilities for professional 
Motif developers.  The PDS has a retail value of $5,000, but is provided
at no extra cost to Red Hat Motif customers.

For end users, Red Hat Motif 2.0.1 improves their interface performance.
The virtual screen support unclutters their workspace by providing alternate

environments.

   rapid skill transfer.

 o Distinctive 3-D beveled user interface elements.

   (API) allowing application developers to "write it once" for many
   platforms.
