@        ****  MIT Release Notes to accompany OSF/Motif 1.2.2  ****
		  ****  Please read this FIRST!  ****

The "doc" subdirectory on this tape has been modified here at MIT in
order to make it possible to fit the entire Motif 1.2.2 distribution on
one low-density QIC-24 tape.

In addition, since the 1.2.1 and 1.2.2 releases were distributed as patches
to 1.2.0, some source directories contain subdirs called "1.2.0" and/or
"1.2.1", which contain the soruce files as they appeared in the earlier
releases.  This is mostly just for your reference so that you will know
what files have changed, and you may compare the files to see the code
changes if you wish.
(In some cases, the changes were large enough that the "1.2.0" and/or
 "1.2.1" subdirs were tarred and compressed to conserve space -- to
 return these subdirs to their original state, follow the same procedure
 as for the "doc" subdirectories outlined below.)


In all other respects, this tape is identical to that distributed by the
OSF.


Instead of containing 7 subdirectories, you will notice that the "doc"
directory has 7 tarred and compressed files.  These files, when
uncompressed and untarred, will return those subdirectories to their
original state.  As an example, suppose you wish to restore the "man"
subdirectory to its initial state -- the commands you would type are as
follows:

		uncompress  man.tar.Z
		tar  xvf  man.tar

Alternatively, you can use "zcat" to uncompress the file on the fly, and
"pipe" it to "tar":

		zcat  man.tar.Z  |  tar  xvf  -

Note that this method may be preferable, as the compressed file does not
need to be uncompressed first.

In either case, the tarred file may be removed after untarring it, to
conserve disk space.  You may wish to do these one at a time, printing
whatever you wish, and then deleting it, if you do not have enough space
to untar everything at once.  Note that, in uncompressed/untarred form,
the doc subdirectory requires approximately 81 Megabytes of space; in
compressed/tarred form, about 14 Megabytes.

The documents from the OSF quote needed space at about 103 Megabytes for
the full distribution, whereas in the form on this tape, you will need
about 34 Megabytes total.

As mentioned, the "doc" subdirectory contains 7 tarred/compressed files.
The files are as follows:

	DTE.tar.Z		Documentation Tools Environment
				  (tools needed in order to build the
				   remainder of the documentation tree).

        aes.tar.Z		Source and output files for the AES
				  (Application Environment Specification)
				  User Environment Volume.

	man.tar.Z		Source and output files for the OSF/Motif
				  Programmer's Reference.

	programGuide.tar.Z	Source and output files for the OSF/Motif
				  Programmer's Guide.

	releaseNotes.tar.Z	Source and output files for the
				  OSF/Motif Release Notes.

	styleGuide.tar.Z	Source and output files for the
				  OSF/Motif Style Guide.

	usersGuide.tar.Z	Source and output files for the
				  OSF/Motif User's Guide.
	
The "Release Notes" are also contained in the file "README" in the
top-level directory, and have been printed and included with this tape
for your convenience.
