Lin Computer: //gs Requires: GS/OS ---------------------------------------- Yep, it doesn't require GNO, but you don't really need it unless you have GNO. It's just a quick way to access NDA's from GNO or other text shells. Oh no, another window manager... well, not quite. Like the name says, it's just swi. The reason it was written was because drwm was too powerful, and I didn't want all the extra features. I also wrote it to try to become familiar with the toolbox. I never intended to release this, but since I already have it uploaded (for DaveR so he can see how it's done :-P) I thought I just post it as well... Also gives me a chance to use the latest binpost. There are no docs included, that's why I'm typeing a little more here. swi had working keyboard equivs, pop-up menu in window title bars since a while back, yeppers, I was the first :-) next drwm will have these all working. The source will also show you never make a function soo long, and with many case/if sttaements all over it. Anyway, this will probably be the only version released, but feel free comment about it. I still vote for drwm to use option key for its option menu, command key for its system edit menu... etc., it's more logical in my opinion, you can adjust to it in no time.
