I'm one of the few people here who uses the 'awm' window manager, and
was wondering what the newest publically available version is. I have
the version from February 1989, which I believe is patch level 9. Is
there a newer one? Where can I find it, if so?
Please reply via e-mail, as I don't often read this group and this
probably isn't of general interest. Thanks

I had no trouble compiling the latest version of awm under R4, but found it couldn't parse it's defaults correctly because the algorithm changed from R3 to R4. The solution was to grab lib/X/XGetDflt.c from the R3 dist and link it with awm. -- Andreas Stolcke International Computer Science Institute stolcke@icsi.Berkeley.EDU 1957 Center St., Suite 600, Berkeley, CA 94704 (415) 642-4274 ext. 126

Note that MIT has specifically decided *NOT* to support this ability in future releases. This is just a work around hack. All applications should be converted to do something more standard. Unfortunately for awm that may be fairly difficult.
