The SWiM product as shipped by Lasermoon has a very lovelessly scribbled installation script, and suffers from several ``bad style'' problems (assumes that /usr/X386 and /usr/X11R6 are identical, clobbers some imake template files, the shared mwm has a hard-coded reference to /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.2.0.0, it's difficult to install it apart from /usr/X386). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
