vwm - Viper Window Manager

If you are sometimes forced to work in console and you want to have more applications opened at one time, Viper Window Manager allowes you to switch between, resize and move multiple windows on one terminal screen.

VWM modules - provides sysmon (informations about CPU load and memory usage) and ptyterm (terminal shell window) modules

libviper and libpseudo (both in AUR) are also required to build and run VWM.

Let me just say: sweet. Is VWM development still `active` ? I've been looking for (an "active") TWIN alternative. Thanks. <3

Last update is from March 2008 and according to SF.net it's active project, so I think we can expect new releases...btw I use it just few hours and going to report first bug , so we'll see if developers are working.
