Depends where you look, I suppose.  :)

I found fvwm-2.0.40.tar.gz here:

http://debian.lth.se/pub/X11/fvwm/

fvwm-2.0.40.tar.gz	1995-12-20 21:28 	466K

I downloaded it, messed about with gcc and managed to get it to compile.

FvwmPrompt is pretty simple -- just asks "Yes" or "No". I can see why FvwmForm
replaced it.

Mystery solved, and I've more versions to add to the archive now.

As it's only 466K, I'm attaching it to this email for posterity.
