I think it is very important to keep ctwm work on VMS. To my knowledge
it is the only non-DEC window manager that runs on VMS. And I really
don't want this awful Motif window manager. We haven't installed DCE
here yet.

I would do some hacking but the thing below got me stumped. Maybe
someone canhave a look at the compiler listings?
