	I still use the window manager and smgr, I dont remember what the phone
manager does. If you blow away /usr/lib/UA, you lose the UA command, (ie the
window shell) and easy access to some of the programs like the MSDOS stuff.
The programs are still there, in /usr/bin[A-Z]*, and if you want to use them
you have to figure out what the command line arguments are. I saved the DOS 
stuff and the RS232 port stuff, along with their related window driver scripts
somewhere on a disk in case I ever what to use them.

	I posted this because even though I don't use the UA, and never have,
the driver files hung around my system for months eating disk space (close to 
a meg). That space might prove useful for someone with a small machine who
doesn't use the UA.

	wmgr and smgr are not related to the UA, the UA is a shell interface 
that runs over the top of the system. I don't know about the phone manager, 
But I think that it is a UA based application, and probably will complain it
the UA is not present.
