It's actually Motif 2.0 for FreeBSD 2.0 and works for me with all FreeBSD
versions up to -stable.  You can probably still purchase Motif 1.2.3 from
them also.

The 2.0 version of Motif has worked flawlessly for me with everything
I've built and run on FreeBSD 2.X.  I've not tried uil though.  The
installation script that comes with SWiM 2.0 is not correct, but is
easily fixed.
