- olvwm (OPEN LOOK Virtual Window Manager) Version 3.0 is available on
- ftp.ira.uka.de, Directory /pub/x11, File olvwm-3.0.tar.Z. It's plain
- Unix, so VMSers beware ... However, its Doc references the olwm (!)
- Manpage which says
-
- DESCRIPTION
- olwm is a window manager for the X Window System that imple-
- ments parts of the OPEN LOOK graphical user interface. It
- is the standard window manager for Sun's OpenWindows pro-
- duct, but it will work properly with any X11 system.
-
- So, there SHOULD be a Way to have it work on Unix Systems. Have a Friend
- with a SUN make a Copy of the olwm Manpage for you - The Options not con-
- cerned with Virtual Stuff are explained only there.
-
- Good Luck,
- J. Bern
