I'm suddenly not very interested in X-windows any more, thanks to MGR and am very impressed by MGR's simplicity and elegance. MGR is the only windowing package I've seen that I'd call a 'tool'. I had the same feeling when I started using MGR last December. I knew MGR was simpler; but until I wrote the first MGR program I did not know it was easier and more elegant too. I abandoned X after that. MGR does have its defficiencies but it is much easier to read and modify MGR than SunView (no source code) or X (source tree too big too complex). I read the copyright notice that exists in most MGR source files; it does not mention modifications. Can I modify MGR and give the modified version to a friend, for example? Thanks.
