Re: Multiple-windows

Another program that provides multiple windows on a terminal is
screen. Posted March 87 in net.sources (52100001.tub.UUCP, 52100002.tub.UUCP)

Also: apparently wm needs a modified curses library. Apparently
several bugs have to be fixed. Which versions of -lcurses have the bugs,
and which versions have the fixes?

I have had difficulty with people using wm on a port selector, that
occassionally disconnects. The wm process will then (occassionally)
run wild, eating up CPU cycles, until someone kills it.

Has anyone else seen this?
