It's plain Unix, so VMSers beware ... However, its Doc references the olwm (!) Manpage which says DESCRIPTION olwm is a window manager for the X Window System that imple- ments parts of the OPEN LOOK graphical user interface. It is the standard window manager for Sun's OpenWindows pro- duct, but it will work properly with any X11 system. So, there SHOULD be a Way to have it work on Unix Systems. Have a Friend with a SUN make a Copy of the olwm Manpage for you - The Options not con- cerned with Virtual Stuff are explained only there. Good Luck, J.
