- The program you're thinking of is known as shamus' windows, although he
- copied it from another programmer, Hans, and subsequently cut many of
- the features out till it was a pretty bad example of software...
-
- All those features you mentioned were in the original version, Hans (tm)
- windows. The software Shamus was flashing around WITH HIS NAME ON IT
- (I dont know if Hans knows about this...) had virtually none of them.

- Hmmm... the same guy, Shamus was advertising X windows for the Vic-20.
