Hey, I remember that email. :)
It's probably too late for me to toss the new AfterStep package in
/contrib (we've already released Slackware 7.1 BETA 1), but I do have it
slated for inclusion on disc 4.
It *IS* on my todo list of packages to add to /contrib, but it kinda
slipped away as more important things had higher priority.
I meant nothing against the current AfterStep, if that's the way it came
across. I've been a longtime user and advocate of AfterStep (though I've
moved to Window Maker on my own machine :/ ).
So for this upcoming release of Slackware, we have the source for AS 1.8
on disc4, but there isn't a package in /contrib. I'll work one up for the
next release. Keep your eyes out on the next -current tree (not sure when
that will apppear).
Thanks for catching me on this one. :)
(This doesn't mean I'm getting rid of 1.0. I'll just add another package
with the latest version. There seems to be a large crowd that likes the
older 1
