I was lucky enough to actually have a chance to use wm at Carnegie Mellon before it was
fully retired in favor of X11 on the systems in public clusters; it made a monochrome
DECstation 3100 with 8MB much more livable.
When it was retired, it was still usable for a while because the CMU Computer Club
maintained an enhanced version (wmc) that everyone had access to, and Club members got
access to its sources.
Did anyone happen to preserve the wm or wmc codebase? There's some documentation in
the papers that were published about the wm and Andrew API but no code.
