Some of us work in environments where getting GTK, Qt, wxWigets, etc.
installed is impossible because of corporate policy. Changing to another
toolkit would have the effect of making a new NEdit unusable. We would
have to stick with the latest Motif version.

AIX, Solaris and HP-UX all come with Motif and paid support which keeps
management happy.

I can compile (on a development system) and use (on production systems)
NEdit because it only depends on libraries that come with a base install
of the operating system.

I am quite happy to continue providing AIX builds as long as NEdit uses
Motif. At the moment I have AIX 4.3.3, 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 with IBM compilers.
