LessTif is the Hungry Programmers' version of OSF/Motif®.
LessTif will be source compatible with OSF/Motif® 1.2, meaning that the same source will compile with both and work exactly the same.
LessTif is licensed by the GNU Library General Public License (LGPL). For further information, see the GNU web site.

Release 0.83 is out (since March 14, 1998). Previous releases can be obtained from the ftp site.

New: Anonymous CVS access to the LessTif sources. You can use CVS to grab an up to date copy of our sources whenever you want. This is an alternative to the "sup" and the daily patches to keep your sources up to date.
The CVSROOT to use is :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.hungry.com:/cvsroot. Use cvs login to get yourself known to the system. The password is anoncvs. Then use the command cvs checkout lesstif to get LessTif for the first time, use cvs update lesstif from the same place to update; or move in the lesstif/ directory and simply type cvs update. The anonymous CVS server is currently only a P75 system which will probably not perform well when using compression. Please don't use cvs's compression option with it.

New: Lessdox is now part of the standard distribution. The HTML and man pages are both there; the HTML is also available on the web site.

New: Another mirror, this one is in Croatia. A list of all our mirrors is also available.

New: The release notes for all LessTif distributions to date are now directly accessible on this web site.

New: The LessTif Home Page is distributed in the source and binary distributions starting with release 0.83. On the Internet it can be found at http://www.lesstif.org .

Harald Albrecht has released version 4 of his book Inside LessTif

Available on CD-ROM and Internet, through several CD-ROM publishers and mirror sites.

LessTif icon We've created an icon for you to put on your web pages to indicate that your app is now completely free because you can use LessTif instead of Motif. Only if your app is free, of course :-)
