I'm looking for a version of a plain terminal window manager that will
work on a Sun-3.  The sources I have for `wm' wanted to see a fixed
curses library; apparently as of SunOS 3.3 it still isn't `fixed' to
their liking (i.e., patches [that were not present in my sources] were
supposed to be applied; presumably these patches never made it to official
Berkeley `curses' and thus didn't make it to Sun's) so it wouldn't
compile.  I used a different version of  and it compiled but
croaked with SIGSEGV.  Then I tried Maryland Windows but found it was
just a library without any actual window manager program to use the library
calls (sorry, don't have time to write one!).  Finally, I've heard of
`screen' but a quick perusal of seismo and uunet's archives didn't bring up
anything (unless it's buried in those sources named by date, like `0401.1'
or whatever - not terribly mnemonic!).

If anyone can point me to a version of `wm' that works with vanilla SunOS,
or `screen', or an even newer and more wonderful version of same, I'd
appreciate it.  Anonymous FTP capability preferred.  Thanx ...
