Motorola Inc’s Microprocessor division is the latest company to endorse the Open Software Fondation’s OSF Motif user interface, despite its affiliation to Unix International. The move follows increasing indications that OSF Motif is gaining industry support over the rival Open Look product from AT&T and Sun Microsystems. The interface will be offered on Delta Series hardware to Motorola’s OEM and systems integration customers in technical computer markets. Backing up the announcement is the introduction of a multi-channel graphics controller, along with 15 and 19 colour graphics display stations, was shown on the company’s Delta Model 3840 at Unix Expo, running an X Windows demonstration. Motorola also used the show to introduce its entry-level RISC system, a six-slot, 88000-based machine based on Motorola’s MVME181 CPU board.
