ASCII man pages for each of the widgets and convenience functions in the
library are in man/cat3; they are the online documentation for the
library. As mentioned above, the book _Motif Tools_ is the complete
documentation for the library; it is a complete programmer's guide, and
also contains a printed form of the man pages as a reference section.
Unfortunately, this book is now out of print. David Flanagan will be
addressing this issue.
