Requirements In addition to this COBOL system you need the OSF/Motif development system from your operating system supplier. This software package includes various support routine libraries as well as the C header files that contain the type information and constants used by the Motif programming interface (API) functions. Font, icon and bit map editors are available separately. The OSF/Motif Programmer's Reference Manual describes the OSF/Motif API used by Motif applications. However, the function descriptions and examples in the reference manual are in C. This chapter explains those descriptions for programmers unfamiliar with C and describes how to translate them into COBOL. This COBOL system includes the H2cpy utility which enables you to translate #define and typedef information in the C header files into their COBOL equivalents. See your COBOL System Reference for details about converting C header files with H2cpy. This system includes a sample Motif program, motdemo. This is used as an example in this chapter.
