Well, MGR comes with a complete programmer's interface guide, and it's
a great interface. You can pretty much do anything you want! I'll agree
that so far there's a shortage of aps, but so what? Any curses-based
ap will run in an MGR window, so with MGR, you have a super unix workstation,
regardless of any special aps. I'm happy with MGR all by itself.
Porting to MGR should be a breeze, anyway. I've written some piddly little
MGR programs, like a daemon that runs in a window and shows the date and time
and who's on the system and stuff like that. Naturally, if I write anything
worthwhile, I'll post it. I'm planning on writing a font editor.
