Well, the Xinside folks seem to have problems with install scripts...
The install script that came with their Motif has been totally
revamped by Jordan by that time, and still, their tarballs suffered
from some severe oddities (wrong permissions, duplicate files).

HOWEVER, they have been passing this on to us for an alpha test, and
most of the problems have been corrected in the final version, often
following our suggestions.  (Installing somewhere else than /usr/X11R6
is also possible now, it hasn't been before, either.)

It looks they had also better passed on CDE for an alpha test...

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
