It depends on who you ask. It can stand "Tom's" or "Tab". I've seen man pages for either and both. My Debian box uses "Tab" in twm(1). I've seen a claim that "Tab" was introduced by the X Consortium because they found "Tom's" unprofessional, but I can't verify that. I don't know, but I'd speculate that the titular "tab" refers to what is today called a "title bar", which was an innovation when twm was introduced. -- Ben _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
