Keith Packard did a program called window for the 410X terminals. I cannot remember where I picked it up but I cannot get it to run. I am missing one of the utilities (lw.c) and there is a libwin directory that never gets referenced. Does anyone have any knowledge about this program? Or, is Keith still around?

On behalf of both my good friend Mr. Keith, and myself: AIIGGH :-) ! Yes, I've seen it run -- he wrote it a *long* time ago for his home 4105. For those of you who are wondering whether you are interested in this (which is why I posted the reply instead of mailing it), you aren't. Although it *is* probably the best UNIX window manager ever written for the 4105 :-) :-). Keith Packard is now with the MIT X Consortium (writing *real* UNIX window managers :-) -- try "keith@expo.lcs.mit.edu". I think he still has the bits floating around on his home 6200 somewhere -- maybe you can persuade him to dredge them up. I'll ask him about it when I talk to him next... What fun!
