Two instances of one X-client running on two different computers,
host1 and
host2? The short answer is no. If both clients are running on the same server (i.e. the screen in front of you) there are probably tools to allow you to do this, but they are not built into
Motif. You would have to investigate other tools/libraries.
If you were thinking of learning
Motif programming to simplify inter-process communication, forget it. You are barking up the wrong tree. If, on the other hand, you want to learn GUI programming for Linux, don't bother.
Motif is virtually dead with only legacy systems using it. Instead you should be looking at
GTK and
QT instead.
