Library General Public License (LGPL).

Lesstif is available from the following URL's

There are several mirror sites across the world, also many CDROM distributions
contain some version of LessTif. The mirrors and CDROM distributions that
we know of are listed on our web pages at http://www.lesstif.org .

Details of changes since the last release are in the ChangeLog file.

SUPPORTED PLATFORMS
-------------------

Lesstif is known to compile on the following platforms (this list is incomplete,
and should only be used as a guideline):

	Linux		Solaris		SunOS		FreeBSD
	OpenBSD		NetBSD		OS/2		Digital UNIX	
	AIX		HP/UX		Cygwin

Actually the list of platforms supported by libtool and automake/autoconf
is probably more accurate.
