Due to an rather unfortunate timing problem between the release of our
6.5 HP-UX and MIT's X11R3, we were unable to safely include the R3
features in 6.5.  Our 7.0 system will be an full R3 server.  It is
scheduled to begin shipping VERY soon.  (Check with your local office
for specific dates.)

Tom now works for Soulborne[sp?].  You might try to contact him there
in Longmont, CO.  No, we do not support Tom's window manager because
we have our own WM, hpwm (HP's window manager) and its follow-on, mwm
(Motif window manager.)
