  21. As original poster here I will ask this: I knew that the Motif install replaced
  22. some subsets, e.g. mail and dxnotepad. But not all, e.g. dxue. My question was
  23. whether there was any *other* stuff I could delete which the upgrade didn't
  24. *bother* to delete (without losing functionality, evidently; I *want* dxue).
  25. I was expecting people either to say "no" or "yes we routinely delete thus-and-
  26. such". That's all.
