This has been mentioned before; however, the goal of the Lesstif project is to provide complete compatibility -- ABI and API -- with the Motif libraries. The only reason snd would not be compatible with Lesstif (regardless of whether it's supported by upstream) would be a bug in Lesstif; and overall, the number of bugs in Lesstif is going down, not up. When was the last time you tried to compile snd with Lesstif? Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
