It may be worth noting that BSD/386 executables work on NetBSD-0.9
(sometimes, at least - I haven't tested it extensively). I went to
bsdi.com, and picked up olvwm, and it worked no problem. The libraries
there (libolgx.a and libxview.a) also helped me getting olwm, and
props to work properly.

Now I'm going to start all over again with the stuff from freeBSD....

Oh, someone mentioned something about cmdtool not working...  This is
exactly how it should be: IT SUCKS - THIS PROGRAM SHOULD DIE!!!!
(sorry, couldn't resist...).
