- The most notable change had to do with Motif 1.1.3. The sm resource changed
- to DXsession. After editing the .Xdefaults and making this documented
- change everything was virtually the same.
-
- The resource for dxmail also changed. As did the font lookup for DECterm.
- These are both documented in the Motif release notes. I did have to call
- DEC support to find out the proper modification to the Xws definition in
- ttys (to find the correct fonts for DECterm).
