First, correct if I am wrong, Bruce, but the xview toolkit does not currently have a maintainer and therefore no Debian packages as of yet. (I have been thinking about since I have used xview for several years, but I have been swamp to give it what is due) Second, Openwin is a desktop environment. The OpenLook (tm) window manager is olwm or olvwm. With the last release of xview (3.2p1) you roughly get the WM and shelltool. .......................Bill,
