Version 1.2.7 of the Xarm C++ Motif library has just been released.

This version adds many missing widget methods and includes
automatic detection and use of CDE.  The CDE ComboBox widget
is used in place of the Motif 2.0 ComboBox widget on those
systems that have CDE but not Motif 2.0.  Future versions of
Xarm will add support for the other CDE enhancement widgets
including the SpinBox and the DtEditor.

The Xarm Home Page is at http://soback.kornet.nm.kr/~glgay/

Xarm was also uploaded to ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/incoming/Linux/
                      and ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib

At SunSITE, it should end up in ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/libs/X/c++libs/
