David,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I didn't want to be too verbose on my first post to the list, but I have
to tell you that I only use NT because I'm required to run the worst
application ever developed - Lotus Notes!!! :( Aside from that I'm free
to do what ever I like with my workstation, so I installed Solaris 7 and I
dual boot between Solaris and NT, but that gets old. So I thought I'd
make the best of a bad situation and try Afterstep on the NT side so I
could keep from having to reboot just to run Notes. Not to mention that
Afterstep looks so cool compared to the Windows desktop.
By the way, Lotus does make a Notes client for Sparc/Solaris, which I was
running on my Sparc 10, but had to give it up because I needed the disk
space.
The reason I posted to the mailing list rather than straight going to the
guy who has the Win32 web page is because in the README file he didn't
sound like he had a lot of support to offer.
Thanks again.
