Thanks for handling this.

I was struggling with a name myself. I really didn't want my name in
the title; however, there was some concern expressed about it being
differentiated from an "official" AfterStep theme.maker. So,
"theme.maker-lathi" or maybe "theme.handler-lathi" is fine. I do
expect this to be a temporary solution to the themes problem.
Hopefully, the themes actually built by this theme.handler will be
compatible with any future theme handlers - but maybe not.

I tried to upload to fao, but didn't think it was working properly.
After I did the "put", I did an "ls" and didn't see it there. What's
up with that?
BTW, I have an updated package at my home page:
<http://home.earthlink.net/~alcornd>. There was a stupid syntax error
in makeastheme.pl that I should have caught before I published to the
world... :(
