[Xastir] Upgrading Xastir?

[hasan schiers]

Thanks Jason,

Where do I get the OpenMotif stuff. It isn't listed on the Linspire site 
(warehouse)? How will Xastir know which to use (Lesstif or OpenMotif), if I 
do manage to get it downloaded and installed.

I looked at the CVS docs...a bit confusing in spots...need to do more 
reading.

...hasan, N0AN
