341) Is anybody out there selling Windows95 look-alike widgets? Why
isn't there a Widget builder for Motif/X yet? Something like OCX (I believe on
Windows95).

None that I know of. There are similar widgets available in Motif 2.0. There
are similar widgets available in the ICS EnhancementPak.
[For the second part of the question...] Because it's very hard to do. I
don't know what OCX is, but I can't imagine that the technology is so much
better than that used in Xt that it's possible to write something to generate
real code. It's trivial, of course, to generate the framework for a widget
given only its name, superclass, and resources; but everything else is real
code.
