FvwmConsole in 2.0.42 distribution has a bug (what a surprise). Even if it is
working currently for you, I suggest you apply this patch since the bug was
not allocating enough memory to variables.
This patch should also help some of machines you could not run FvwmConsole on
before. I confirmed it ran on SunOS 4.1.4 and Sparc Solaris 2.3.
I am currently working on a module FvwmCommand, which let user to issue fvwm
commands from shell or perl, or many other things. I have a prototype
working. It has the same code stem as in FvwmConsole, so any comments or
running confirmation will be appreciated. Although I can't answer anything
from 10th through 19th.
Happy fvwming.
