I started with wmc (the Andrew window manager fork), then mwm: had I
liked mwm, fvwm probably would have sufficed.
But my life took a twisted path of briefly twm, tvtwm, olwm, then
olvwm; I then carried private patches and a set of menus for a custom
version of olvwm for YEARS, across SunOS 4, Solaris, and Linux.
