This is to announce the availability of the gamma release of
vtwm, TWM with a virtual desktop. This is the second public release,
and is numbered 3.0 (make sense ?).
A compressed shar file is available on expo.lcs.mit.edu
(18.30.0.212) as /contrib/vtwm.shar.Z. If anyone still wants a copy
of the older (beta) version, please send me mail.
Version 3.0 has been tested on the following platforms:
IBM 6150 with ACIS 4.3
Sun SPARC's with SunOS 4.x
Sun 68k's with SunOS 4.x
HP9000 seris 300 with HPUX 7.0
DECstation's with Ultrix 3.x and 4.0
A couple of notes on compiling:
* if you don't have strdup(), add -DNOSTRDUP
* if you are at Project Athena, add -DPIXEL_ALREADY_TYPEDEFED,
due to a change in /usr/include/X11/Xmu/Drawing.h
* if at Project Athena, use gmake (GNU-make), the standard one
complains about a line too long
As ever, I solicit bug reports and enhancement requests. A note from
our sponsors:
