Hello,

  some people asked about a mwm. Well, last saturday I tested gwm 1.7n with
its mwm emulation.

Still there's no way to produce a working lex.yy.c file (source is wool.lex),
because you have to use an original lex (no flex). Wool.lex uses lex internal
variables.

The most significant bug was produced by the mwm emulation. Dialog and pop up
menues don't close correctly. Their frame goes away if you press a button
(e.g. the OK button), but the window without the mwm frame will be still
alive. Not so fine. (Xfree 1.0.2a used)

BTW, I don't like the directory organisation of Xfree 1.0.2a (/usr/X386...).
The old one was better, because it looks like the tree on the most other
*nixes (/usr/include/X11 instead of /usr/X386/include +
cc -I/usr/X386/include). Many pathes are hard wired in some programs, so
I used symbolic links to use the old structure.

Henry
