:) To all people :
1.4.5.3 is the best (functions & stability), even if it is a devel. version
Use 1.4 else.

Don't use 14555 at all unless you're coding : it's a devel. version which will
become AS 9& when it's stable.  For now, it isn't.
 
I told previously AS9& was coming soon. Well, it *IS* coming soon, but it isn't
ready now.

PS : for the guy comparing E to AS :
AS isn't E, and vice versa.

If you want a bigger wharf, use zharf.
If you want titlebar on your pager, remove notitlebar from database
If you want decorations all around your window, either code that feature or
wait for us to have more time (as for transparent wharf or 1.4 compatible ascp)
If you want to change cursors, AS9& will certainly include an "animated cursor"
module on which I'm working on. But it eats cpu.
If you want a screenshot, click on the 2nd left button,1st option (needs xgrab)
If you want rxvt with a pixmap ... what about using xiterm, included with AS ?
Just enable XPM in apps/xiterm/src/xiterm.h

Patch has problems with files containing spaces :-)
