It's not the Solbourne X Server, it's the window manager. It doesn't do a virtual olwm, it implements the virtual desktop and allows you to choose the look-and-feel of the window manager or create your own. If you have Solbourne hardware, you get swm and can purchase a RTU (Right To Use) so that you can use swm on any SPARC based system. Solbourne will soon (6-9 months) have a binary distribution program that will enable you to purchase binary copies of the window manager, OI toolkit, and most of our other X applications. BTW, tvtwm and vtwm were both modeled after swm. -- Tom LaStrange Solbourne Computer Inc. ARPA: toml@Solbourne.COM 1900 Pike Rd. UUCP: ...!{boulder,sun}!stan!toml Longmont, CO 80501
