There is a working port of olvwm around for a long time. You can get it
as binary or source. This includes olvwm, textedit, etc...
Only cmdtool produced some mayor problems, so it is not included in the  
binary distribution.

This set of bin or source can be obtained by ftp at:
ftp.stack.urc.tue.nl.
