WMcp is a simple dockable pager for use in Window Maker.

Installation:

Unzip the file: gunzip wmcp-1.2.8.tar.gz
Untar the file: tar xvf wmcp-1.2.8.tar
CD to src dir: cd wmcp-1.2.8

do one of these makes:

make -- make wmcp using the default button scheme (scalpel)
make scalpel -- make wmcp using the scalpel style button colors
make gv -- make wmcp using the ghostview style button colors

copy wmcp to some directory in your $PATH.
( ie: cp wmcp /usr/local/bin )

type wmcp

Grab the appicon and move it to the dock.

If make doesn't work, you may need to fiddle with the settings in the Makefile.
