- Yes, I use vtwm with VMS DECwindows Motif 1.1. In fact, (if I
- remember correctly), Motif is required to run twm and vtwm.
- Twm is available via anonymous ftp from public.tgv.com in
- directory [.mahan]. It is also available in the DECUS
- library. I may be able to put my copy up for anonymous ftp.
- Let me know if you are interested.
