Due to significant changes to the transport interface and to the range of supported devices, the following manuals have been archived and are no longer part of the programming kit:

For information on the DECwindows Motif Version 1.3--1 transport interface, see the HP DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS Alpha New Features manual and the HP DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS Alpha Release Notes.

Note that online versions of both manuals are available from the DECwindows Motif section of the OpenVMS Documentation web site. See Chapter 2 for further information on ordering and availability as well as information on accessing this web site.
