hi, Thanks for your quick response. I want to use Motif in my plugin. It's
not a alone application. So I don't know why shall I use IPC to talk with
netscape. The only thing I want to know is if I can use Motif in my plugin
that would be launched by Netscape 6.2.2. I know Xt would be OK. But if I
use Motif, my plugin would crash. Thanks again.
