There's no URL because the current version isn't suitable for working on -
it's basically just a mutilated version of wm2, which is written in C++.
Paul Warren and I want to rewrite mosquito in C, using GTK+, so the
version we're playing with bears no resemblance to the finished product.
If that doesn't put you off, you can get an out-of-date tarball from
www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/students/mrogers/mosquito.tgz, but this doesn't have
Paul's changes to save window positions in the session. You could email
him for a more up-to-date tarball (pdw@ferret.lmh.ox.ac.uk).

The reason I updated the software map entry was to remove the phrase
"based on wm2" from the description - while I was there I changed the
current version from "pre alpha" to "alpha", but maybe that was a bit
optimistic!  ;)
