In article <38@gec-rl-hrc.co.uk> in net.sources nwh@gec-rl-hrc.co.uk
(Nigel Holder Marconi) presents the first of seven parts of a window manager
system called "grotwin".  Quoting form the README file in part 1:

> Grotwin has been developed on a Sun 2 running release 2.2.  It should
> however, run on any BSD 4.2 or 4.3 system, or indeed any system
> which has pseudo terminals and the ability to poll a file descriptor
> (select(), ioctl(FIONREAD) or otherwise).

'Taint so.  Compilation of manager.c fails on 4.2bsd and Ultrix 1.1 because
these systems don't have support for window size changes using SIGWINCH.

Looks great, Nigel, but I guess I'll have to wait 'til I get 4.3bsd installed!
