q: what is olsw(1)?
a: olsw(1) is a tool to save the work spaces managed by open look's window 
   manager olwm(1) and olvwm(1). this program is a hybird of x11r6.1's 
   xlsclients(1) and xwininfo(1). i only ported it on solaris 2.5 with 
   x11r6.1, but it should also whereever olwm(1) and olvwm(1) work. 
   i had also made it work with tvtwm(1).
   this is the first version of olsw(1) (jan 16, 1996)

q: how to install olsw?
a: since it's using imake(1). the work is easy.
        xmkmf
        make install
        make clean
   that's done.
   the complete package including this readme and
        GetVRoot.c
        olsw.c
        IMakefile
        olsw.man
        olvwm_patch/README
        olvwm_patch/virtual.c

q: I find that the output for cm(1) is strange.
a: cm(1) exists as two children of the root window. one iconed  and one
   not. when i execute olsw, i always get the deiconified one. while
   when i use xwininfo(1) and click mouse on the iconed one, xwininfo
   reports the iconed one.

q: How to make tcl program ICCCM compliant.
a: add the following two lines near the end of your program
       wm command . "$argv0 $argv"
       wm client . [ exec hostname ]
   maybe also 'wm size ...'
 
q: when i invoke olsw from a (logical) screen in olvwm(1) other 
   than the first one, the output is messed up.
a: yes. this is because the olvwm(1) doesn't make use a virtual
   root window, it resets the absolute coordinates whenever you
   move among logical screens. Hence, the first (logical) screen 
   will have negative coodinates when you are not in it. i have 
   made a patch (or workaround) to its olvwmrc(5) built-in command 
   'MOVE_DISKTOP'. see 'olvwm_patch' in my package.

BTW: i am looking a job. any help is appreciated.
