As long as you're using the Motif > standard interface in your code you should have nothing to worry about. Ahh, but I'm not expecting the API to change, but I'm expecting the internals to change. For example, Sun changed Motif in between JDK1.1 and JDK1.2 because of bugs in it. Also, Motif doesn't compile under FreeBSD cleanly right now, and I expect it to change as it supports internationalization and such.
