The answer is "NO". Oracle (in their infinite wisdom) decided to completely drop the Motif platform for CASE in favor of the MS Windows environment. If you have CASE 5.1 on a unix machine now and have a standard support agreement, you can get a free upgrade to Designer 2000. I am currently waiting on my new PC so I can upgrade. Thanks to Oracle, I have to have two machines on my desk to do my work since I need to unix machine for the database engine and other programs. Thanks Oracle! <sarcasm mode - maximum intensity>
