Re: [ctwm] ctwm-3.8b? ctwm-3.9?

I suspect "not very". Porting would probably be figuring out what
fvwm does that affects this case, then rewriting it in ctwm (i.e., not
really a 'port' so much at all). The two are a looong way from a
common ancestor.

It's not very loud about announcing itself, but it's there.

It's not a release, just what the dev head calls itself. I run with
local changes, so mine says

% ~/work/ctwm/fullermd/ctwm -version
3.9devel-fullermd.1

Well, he answered one in May, so he's presumably still kicking, at
least occasionally.
