I'm using the Open Look Window Manager incuded with it and it works fine. I am now happily porting my many xview apps I have running on my Sun so my 386BSD working environment will look nearly identical to my Sun environment. A binary distribution of the xview3 stuff can be found in the /pub/386bsd/submissions/xview3 directory on nova.cc.purdue.edu. -- Thad Phetteplace Network Systems Analyst, Allen-Bradley Co.
