This appeared on comp.newprod. Has anybody seen this? Does the "behavior" below
extend to the programmatic interface?

Just BTW, has anybody else looked at reimplementing Mwm without using Xm?


|> NEW SOFTWARE SUITE FOR NCD X TERMINAL FAMILY INCLUDES LOCAL WINDOW
|> MANAGER, ENHANCED SECURITUY, REMOTE RESET
|> 
|> 	DALLAS, January 22, 1991 -- Network Computing Devices, Inc.,
|> has developed a window manager with the appearance and behavior of
|> OSF/MOTIF that runs locally on its X terminals -- rather than on a
|> host computer across the network -- saving network resources and
|> allowing X terminals to be used with hosts that do not support the X
|> Window System.
|> 
|> 	The new NCDwm window manager is part of NCDware 2.3, the
|> latest release of software for the firm's X terminal family, which
|> also includes improved security features and a remote reset
|> capability.

|> Local Window Manager a Tenth the Size of OSF/MOTIF Window Manager
|> 
|> 	The X terminal-resident NCDwm window manager is identical in
|> functionality to the OSF/MOTIF window manager, defining the appearance
|> and behavior of windows (e.g., how to open and close them, their
|> borders, icons and menus), and managing mouse-driven events, such as
|> moving and resizing windows. However, it uses only 100 kilobytes of
|> memory space -- about one-tenth the one megabyte consumed by OSF/MOTIF
|> running on a networked host computer.
