Perhaps you could send me a link off-list instead? Kindly, Thomas

See the README inside the tarball for details. Hope it's useful for you.

I've gone through the lists you've provided and although on the face of it, there's one or two duplicates with what I have, I can't say for certain if that's the case without really checking. If it's not too much of a cheek to ask, would it possible for you to provide all the Fvwm files across those CDs you've listed? That would allow me to pick apart anything of interest. You never know, some downstream maintainer may well have provided patches which never made it upstream. Might be something there... Thanks again, Glenn! Kindly, Thomas

The attached tiny tarball is a list of every fvwm-related file found by matching *fvwm*, case-insenstive, on every CD that had anything fvwm-related. Some date back to 1995-ish and (I think) prior, but wasn't sure exactly what would be of interest, so just compiled the list. The top level is a set of directories naming each of each comprising CDs. In each dir is a single file named FVWM_FILES, which lists the *fvwm* files and the parent directory structure above each one, in case that may be of historical interest too. Let me know which (if any) files you'd like, I'll tar them up and dump them on a public file site somewhere. (Or, if there's wider historical interest than just the FVWM stuff, I can dump the full CDrom images.) Regards, Glenn fvwm_dss.tgz Description: application/gzip
