	First question.  Are you running AIX or ACIS/AOS 4.3??  If you're
running 4.3, then I'm not sure why you're having problems.  We run R4+twm here
all the time, and everything seems to work fine.

	We have people running mwm, twm, tvtwm, and uwm regularly.  I'm not 
aware of any major problems with any of them.

	If you're running AIX, well, maybe someone else in the audience has 
been through this and can help.

These opinions are my own.  I doubt IBM wants them.......
