Personnaly, I found this wm not practical to use it all days. But, it is interesting to play with it. (To play with the wm, not playing game on ;) heuuuu.. It can be useful if you work with a tons of xterm opened in the same time and you have to look at all these xterm in the same time, but I know a kind of editor/shell/wm ... I think it named wily... that can easily replace all these xterm. w9wm is an other wm based on 9wm. It's almost the same thing than 9wm but it include a virtual screen system. This is the wm I use every day. It's fast and very light and clean ( no border around window ). A wily running fullscreen in 1280x1024 without a 3" picturized border is ultraclean and FUN ;) BTW, yesterday I found a mailling appli for wily ( mail.c and other *.c/h ) in a directory ( wilytoys/.../reader ) but I can't compile it. Could I force myself to port it to my OS or this appli is not very usable and I might forget it ? an other question -> Do you have something better than txtbdf2ps to print WYSWRWYGYP ( What You See in Wily is Really What You Get on Your Printer ) It's easy to print with it with a little script like : #!/usr/local/bin/rc cat /Storage/Xg/bdf/pelm.latin1.8.bdf $w | txtbdf2ps -nowrap | lpr -Plp but It is not great printing quality. But I WYSWRWYGYP really with this. thanks ( I have a tons of questions yet.... the next time ;) -- Serge Gagnon
