Software that runs with LessTif

These software packages are known to compile, link, and run (in some form or fashion) with LessTif. They may not behave exactly like their Motif® counterparts.

Usually this means windows appear in a way which resembles the Motif® appearance, the menu system may freeze in some cases (which you can avoid by not being too fast), but other than that the application seems to work.
