I get "bad mainwin" when run from a terminal shell inside of FVWM. Any
ideas?

X-Windows is running great. I'm so glad to be back in a multi-tasking
enviroment (as an Amiga owner). Just for the record, though, the Linux ICON
requires that iconx be put in a directory called:
/home/jeffery/bin/v9/
So, I just did what it demanded and placed iconx there until I soft-link
it, or re-compile the sources myself. Other non-X-Windows Icon programs
work fine; I've finally got the chance to use iconc. Any help or
suggestions would be much appreciated. Could someone tell me the basic
doc for V9.0's new features? The binary package came with docs about the
widgets library and vib and that was it.
Thanks to everybody!
