Since the first upload of rxvt-1.1 was corrupted, it has been re-loaded
to sunsite. This time, a pre-release of a minimum resource usage window
manager has been included. The new upload is marked rxvt-1.1c.tar.z to
differentiate it from the corrupted version.


Rxvt release 1.1 has been uploaded to /pub/Linix/Incoming/rxvt-1.1c.tar.z and
rxvt.README. 

Xvt is an xterm replacement which uses a little less memory, and is 
suitable for use on machines with small memories. Tek4010 support
is removed.

Modifications were made by Rob Nation (nation@rocket.sanders.lockheed.com) 
to make it a little more compact, and to add and remove certain features.

Here's what's new since the last release:
1. rxvt now accepts resource  input from the .Xdefaults file.
2. The default configuration is 8-bit clean, with 7-bit mode available
   as a command line or resource option.
3. Added an option to start the window's shell as a login shell for
   people who don't want to fix their start-up procedures.
4. Fixed a few bugs, including one which caused some versions of "more"
   to break.

Also, some unrelated stuff has been added to the package:
1. rclock - a lighter weight version of xclock. Has the nice feature
   of displaying the time in analog format when de-iconified, or in
   digital format when iconified

2. Notes on other tricks to conserve memory when using X. Shows a 
   route to saving a full megabyte of RAM. When running Xmono in 4.25
   megabytes of RAM, I now have 1.1 Mebyte free (actually its used for
   buffers).

3. A pre-release of a fvwm, a minimum-resource-usage window manager
   has been included.

Subject: new realease of fvwm window manager on sunsite

Fvwm release 0.82 has been uploaded to sunsite, as file 
/pub/Linux/Incoming/fvwm-0.82.tar.z

For people who don't think that realease numbers are floating-point,
this can be release 0.8.2.

Fvwm is a light-weight window manager which provides a simple virtual
desktop and a 3-D look for windows decorations.

Memory consumption for Fvwm is about 1/2 to 1/3 that of twm.

Some people have obtained fvwm-0.5 improvements since then are too numerous
to mention. People who have release 0.8a do not need to upgrade unless they
use tcl/tk.
