I have installed MGR for almost a year now. I have used it steadily
for over half a year. Other than a few postings about the porting of
MGR to AT&T 3B(?) machine, I have not seen any discussions at all on
the usenet. How popular is MGR? Has anyone modified it?

I use MGR on a Toshiba 5200 running Xenix.  It has some weirdness
associated with it, but it's very easy to get simple things working.
I was able to get graphics going for some statistical software
I've written in about ten minutes.  I've also written a program
for displaying bitmap images.

I like it a lot.  It's small and fairly fast.  Makes the machine
quite pleasant to use.

I got a copy of SuperBook (from Bellcore) that runs on top of MGR. While I
liked SuperBook, nothing else I needed to use runs on it, so we no longer use
either Superbook or MGR.

I took a walk around the hall after lunch and counted 17 workstations
running MGR (including mine).  Mostly sparcstations, but some sun 3's and
some dec3100's.   At home I run MGR on a toshiba 5200 (on SCO xenix).

I try to keep the latest versions of MGR avaliable for ftp on bellcore.com,
and incorporate the bug fixes that people send me, although I'm currently
a bit behind.
