Can anyone point me at some documentation about the xwm X
window manager in the public directory in the Release 6 distribution?

I've been looking for an explorer-resident window manager.  Is this
xwm worthwhile/working?

It's working. You don't need docs, just play around with the menu items on top
of the windows. You can basically move, iconize, raise/lower and resize.
I don't think you can define menus as in twm for example.

Is it worthwhile? There are/were some prblems with TI's X-server - twm does
not work too well with it, so xwm might be your best/only choice.
