I don't know if anyonehas compiled it for Linux, but there is a public
domain implementation of the Korn shell out there. Try and archie
search for pdksh, or take a look at your favoite comp.sources.unix
archive, I think it was posted there.

olvwm is actually olwm + support for virtual windows, so it's an
extension rather than a scaled-down olwm. The library support you're
looking for is part of XView, which is available on
export.lcs.mit.edu, or xview.ucdavis.edu.
I'll warn you now, though, that Xview is a *huge* package (approx 6
megs compress), and porting will not be an easy task. I looked at it,
and decided I don't have nearly enough time in the next month, and
then it's off to school for me, and even less time. Not for me,
thanks.
olwm, however, is easy to port, just as painless as olvwm. It
compiles to about 50k less than olvwm, too, which is a plus for me,
since I don't even use the virtual window stuff.
If you're eager to work with the OpenLook libraries, Xview is the way
