Re: Forms6i (6.0.8 ?) on Motif Mode

Hi Hemant,
I did a conversion of 4.5 forms to 6i in Windows, Motif and Web environments simultaneously 2 years ago. I must tell you that the biggest challenge was the Motif environment (well, I did have some challenges with the web stuff too). Of course, we were also trying to keep everything with the same look-and-feel. But the Oracle support I got on the Motif side was very lukewarm. And there was a number of bugs encountered. I would encourage you to consider running them in a web environment instead, using a browser on your Unix workstations. I can't remember it right now, but I think there is a licensing issue too. You may need to license iAS to get 6i Motif on Unix.

If you still want or need to proceed, let me know and I'll see if I can dig up my notes from that project and send them to you.
