The Open Software Foundation has tapped Cambridge, Massachusetts-based Integrated Computer Solutions Inc to help it develop the next version of Motif. Integrated Computer says it will work on the design, specification, implementation and testing of the Workspace Manager technology for Motif. It enables users to make better user of the desktop, enabling them to group windows that work together into separate individual workspaces. Integrated Computer will provide additional Motif Toolkit enhancements such as flexible colour use, toggle button changes to improve visuals and capabilities to increase Motif convergence with personal computer styles. Meanwhile, Integrated Computer announced the availability of Motif 1.2.1, the latest release, on Solaris 1 and 2.1 at a single-user price of $525. It also has an Adobe Display Postscript system for Sparcstations at $550 for a single user. Integrated Computer will bundle the X11.5 server with the DPS extensions, the entire X11.5 pre-built core distribution and Adobe Showpage, a PostScript file previewer.
