Quite a while ago (I think back in the 0.88 days) I tried running
netscape-dynMotif against the Lesstif libXm.so.1; it started up and ran
briefly but then bailed out.
Recently I decided to try again with Netscape 4.73's netscape-dynMotif
linked against Lesstif 0.90.0 and now 0.90.7. (This requires creating
an extra symlink from libXm.so.1.2 to libXm.so.1 and running "ldconfig",
since netscape-dynMotif expects an soname of libXm.so.1.2.) Much to my
surprise, this has worked quite well and is acting very stable. I do
get a few warnings (appended below) but so far I haven't found anything
that is obviously failing, and few cosmetic problems, the main ones
being some slight geometry problems with scrollbars (for example, the
vertical scrollbar is drawn over the rightmost edge of the page, or in
"View -> Source" the window comes up with the right arrow of the
horizontal scrollbar overlapping the bottom arrow of the vertical
scollbar -- interestingly, resizing the window causes it to redraw the
scrollbars properly).
This is pretty impressive progress in binary compatibility. Thanks for
all your efforts in improving Lesstif.
