	I installed the thing (Developer 2000 for Solaris/Motif) a few
	days ago on Solaris 2.5/SS20.
	Wouldn't say the install was a breeze - I had to modify all
	the makefiles for the products on the CD to include 1 missing
	library ( from $ORACLE_HOME/lib/ ) - only after that I was
	able to run succesful install - with relinking.

	And guess what ... - it works ! :)

	Didnt do too much of extensive development yet but
	I was able to design and run a few simple kinda
	"Hello world" forms.
	The browser also works fine ... The look and feel
	is 100% the one from Dev2000 for MS Windows.


	As for Motif libraries - they come standrd with Sol 2.5.
	If some1 paid a small for ORACLE and Developer - why wouldn't
	he/she pay $600 for say Sol 2.5 - orr mucho less for the Motif
	only.
