(btw, I use NetBSD_1.0B) Anyway, you need to compile libolgx.* from the xview addition to X. (that is the point that I forget, I can't remember where to get it, I think I got it from somewhere in mit) Then you can just compile olvwm from source. look for a tarred archive. (do an archie) You probably need to do quite a bit of editting, at least I remember it taking a a little tweaking to get it to work. Hmmm... This doesn't look so helpful as I thought it would be. Anyway, feel confident that it is possible, since I did it, just can't remember most of the details... later roland
