I download tvtwm and tried to compile. After fixing all the source files (there's got to be an easier way to patch, but I don't have it), I ran into two problems. First, I don't have Imake, or whatever it is that uses an Imakefile. In fact, I'd never even heard of the thing before last week. Is this something that is not copyrighted and that I can get? (I seriously suggest continuing to provide makefiles until more users have Imake. I wrote a simple makefile, but it'd be nice to have a real one.) Secondly, several of the .c files need include files in the X11/Xmu directory, which I don't have. Again, is this stuff I can find, or have sent to me? I'm fairly new to X11/Openlook, so any help anyone can provide would be nice. Sean. --- Sean L. Gilley attmail!ignats!slg attmail!sgilley 201 805 9088 (h) 201 457 5403 (w)

But it certainly is free; it comes with the MIT X tape and any vendor who doesn't provide it should be complained at most vigorously, and if possible avoided entirely. If necessary I can mail you a copy (please, don't everybody start asking for mailed copies or I'll have to start refusing; see if you can find a closer source first!). der Mouse old: mcgill-vision!mouse new: mouse@larry.mcrcim.mcgill.edu
