SunManagers,

Here's the summary about the libXm.so.1 library file

I did indeed mean libXm.so.1 not libXmu ...

Concensus is, that libXm is a Motif library, is not public-domain, and is probably newer than Motif1.1 since that version didn't support shared libraries easily. A version identified as libXm.1.1.4 was reported compatible with
SunOS-4.1.1

I appologize for the confusion about public domain Motif. Someone once
told me that something simlar to Motif was originally an experimental thing that was available in public-domain then picked up by a commercial type organization and significantly modified to be the current versions of what we now call Motif. But I'm not a historian.

Thanks for the help. I believe we have enough information now to recover or
rebuild it.
