I've sucked a great window manager down from sunsite.unc.edu, called fvwm,
and I just thought other people would be interested in it. It's a virtual
window manager, with 3-d looking borders around the windows (much prettier
really than twm). It compiles right out of the box on NetBSD-0.9, and
the new version even has an Imakefile, so you don't need to edit the
Makefile by hand any more.
I was thinking of putting this into the incoming directory on sun-lamp,
but I don't know whether that's proper, or if I should contact someone
there first. I don't want to get anyone teed off.
And I suppose I ought to add that I have nothing to do with this program
other than being a satisfied user who'd like to see it propagated
(comfort in numbers, I suppose :)
