Are you looking on the cygwin machine or on one of the remote machines? It should be there on the cygwin machine. I believe twm is packaged with the Xserver, so if you can run X, twm should be there and so should its config file in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/twm.
Just in case it really is missing, I'll email you my copy (off-list). >From: "Dennis Foreman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: RE: need help scripting multiple xfree startups >Date: Mon, 22 Jul 2002 11:06:04 -0400 > >I looked for: >/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/twm/system.twmrc and can only find a >.../mwm/system.mwmrc > >Is there a relationship between mwm and twm?
