Okay, after determining that the motif 1.2 sources online were not
terribly clean, I carried out the exercise in frustration and read in
all of the Motif tapes (two 9-tracks and four QICs).
/afs/dev.mit.edu/project/motiftapes has the contents of the tapes
(with ownership information preserved for the QIC tapes; I'm not sure
why the Decstation I read the 9-track tapes on failed to preserve the
ownership information there).
Unfortunately, the Motif source is really big, about 100MB. Here's
how the tapes break down:
101980 motif-1.2
61030 patch-1
7852 patch-2
11536 patch-3
8463 patch-4
8180 patch-5
It turns out that about 80MB of motif-1.2 is documentation, as is
about 50MB of patch-1. Most of the documentation is preformatted
stuff; the unformatted man pages are only about 2MB. I'm not even
sure whether or not we should install the man pages; I was planning to
install Motif under /usr/athena, so that would be 430 files in
/usr/athena/man/man3. (I guess we could call it
/usr/athena/man/man3X?)
Anyway, comment if you care.
