   I am a member of a group of postgraduate students at the University of 
Newcastle-upon-Tyne researching in the area of WMS. We are looking at the
ergonomic aspects with a view to implementing a generic system across a wide
range of workstations. Some combinations examined so far are:

	Sun with Suntools, X (with xnwm, uwm, xwm)
	Xerox with Viewpoint, XDE, Bridge, Interlisp
	Perq with PNX-WMS, Flex
	Whitechapel with Oriel
	Blit with Rob Pike's window manager

   We are interested to hear from anyone who knows of comparative studies
in this field, possibly including evaluation criteria, as our literature 
search has been disappointing in this regard.

   If you are interested in our work and would like a copy of our final
report, or have any comments, please contact me through e-mail at the address
below. We would be grateful for any information received, and will summarise
to comp.windows.x.
