I'm fairly new to olwm but it seems to me that there are a lot of things lacking in terms of control of the environment when running olwm. I have a small network consisting of one Sparc2, one Sparc IPC, 2 NCD19 and 1 NCD16. The NCD machines all use the Sparc2 as a Xserver host and they all run olwm. One of the difficulties is that there seems to be no easy way to have each machine using a different .openwin-init file. Sure, I can have each machine start it's own set of tools automatically but I want them to be positioned appropriately and, if I choose to invoke SAVE WORKSPACE, I want the corresponding init file to be affected not the host .openwin-init file. Is there some "easy" way of doing this that I don't know about? Thanks -- Professor Paul H.
