Cheap*Bytes (http://www.cheapbytes.com) sells a complete Motif 2.0.1 development system (SWiM Motif 2.0 by LaserMoon) for $69.00. This is a VERY good price considering Motif for Linux used to cost nearly $200 a couple of years ago. I bought it and I am quite satisfied with it. 'Tho, if you've never bought anything from Cheap*Bytes, you may be suprised by how they really don't go all out in the fancy packaging, etc. SWiM Motif came on a single CD-ROM, in a plain white envelope all in a cardboard mailer. And thats it. No manuals (manuals cost extra, but I saw PostScript Motif reference manuals on the CD). I also bought a Red Hat CD from them once also, and it came on an all white, generic looking, CD-ROM also in a plain white envelope all enclosed in a cardboard mailer. But I'm not complaining. It's how they keep the costs down and how they can sell stuff for so cheap. Thier service is excellent and I highly recommend them. > secondly the X questions > when I type xdm absolutly nothing happens I just get a command prompt > back and no processes are spawned... any thoughts ? Check the /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers file. Check to see if you have an X server defined for ":0". > when I look though /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fvwm95-2/ I see a program/module ? > called fwvmaudio what is this?

Do a 'man FvwmAudio' for more details. > also I have afterstep and like it's look and feel my question for this is > can I use the fvwm95 taskbar/startbar in afterstep instead of the warf? Well, I do know you can use the Task Bar from Fvwm '95 v2.42 and prior with Fvwm v2.0.x (I'm using it right now ... 'tho I slightly hacked it so I doesn't have a Start button anymore). But since AfterStep is based on Fvwm v.1.x, it is highly questionable if the Task Bar will work. Note that starting with Fvwm '95 v2.43, they changed a few things so that the Task Bar no longer works properly with Fvwm v2.0.x. So it is very unlikely that will work with AfterStep either. > and finaly > I have the menu package installed but when I run update-menus and then > look at my startmenu there is no difference ... do I need to add a > include statement or what ... No clue here :-(. What is the menu package? (I'm still using Debian 1.1 with only a few of the packages upgraded with more recent .debs). ============================================================================== Arcadio Alivio Sincero, Jr. a.k.a.
