> FVWM95 : a window manager based on fvwm, and revamped to look like the

> What is FVWM-95 ?
> -----------------
>
> Fvwm95 is a hack based on fvwm2.x. It tries to emulate the good features
> of a well known product without bloating the regular fvwm code.
>
> The main aspects are :
>
> A familiar look and feel. It can be interesting for users moving
> from the MS-World to Unix, or for those who have to switch
> regularly between the two. Or for those that simply would like to
> have the same MS look and feel in Unix, or for those that just want
> to have another window manager, or... But before all, it's meant to
> be usefull, simple and efficient;
>
> Same flexible and easy configuration as the native fvwm;
>
> Functionality extensible via loadable modules;
>
> A taskbar: find quickly an application window and don't take space
> with icon windows;
>
> In the future, we plan to have a desktop/folder metaphor supported by
> the window manager, as well as improve the current version.
>
> PLEASE NOTE that fvwm-2.x is work in progress, so is fvwm95 too...

>
> Where to get it ?
> ---------------
> You can ftp the latest version from: ftp://mitac11.uia.ac.be/pub .
> The new version is named: fvwm95-2.0.41b.tgz
>
> See also : http://ltiwww.epfl.ch/~barth/fvwm95.html
>
> Acknowledgements :
> -----------------
>
> Many thanks to all the Fvwm team, and to Mr. Rob Nation who started to
> code a nice wm.
> **********************************************************************
> You first have to 'xmkmf -a' from the top directory of fvwm95-2
>
> Then you should do a 'make' to compile the wm and the modules (it will
> also compile the library your 'make install' lacked )
>
> Then, you can 'make install', but I'd rather tell you to install
> by hand, so that you know what you're doing
>
> copy fvwm/fvwm95-2 in a common path (/usr/local/bin; or ~/bin)
> copy the modules you'd like to test also in a common path (someone
> prefer a /usr/lib/fvwm/ path). Anyway, customize your ~/.fvwm2rc95
> so that the ModulePath line points to the path where you installed
> the modules
>
> Don't forget to have a '.fvwm2rc95' file in your $HOME dir.
>
> Hope this helps !
