MoOLIT

MoOLIT was a graphical user interface library and application programming interface (API) created by UNIX Systems Laboratories in an attempt to make a compromise between the two competing look-and-feels for UNIX workstations at the time — OpenLook and OSF Motif.

The library provided common GUI features such as boxes, menus, lists, buttons, etc., but allowed users to choose which GUI they wanted at runtime. It was a short lived project, as the industry was solidly moving towards Motif as the standard.

A small software company, MJM Software, licensed the MoOLIT source in 1992 and ported it to several other UNIX platforms, most notably HP-UX. These versions of MoOLIT were the most comercially successful. They were sold almost exclusively AT&T and Lucent and used to add a Motif look and feel to their legacy OpenLook applications.
