- Needs an ANSI-C compatible compiler (I tried acc and gcc)
-
- Bugs:
- -----
- There is a very mysterious bug with the pixmaphandling. See the BUGS file for
- more infos.
- I think there will be many other bugs, but I haven't found them yet
- (except the menu-bug under X114, but I don't know the reason yet)
- Iconmovement may be a little bit slow - but I'm working on it.
-
- Location:
- ---------
- ramz.ing.tu-bs.de:/pub/kalkan (there are some other programs to. You are free to
- ftp them too).
- IP-Adress: 134.169.27.10
-
- Overview:
- ---------
- This is the last version of this program with an own workspace. I will start soon
- to write a seperate workspace-manager, which will be able to handle more sperate
- workspace-windows and will communicate with nearly all of my selfwritten applications,
- esspecially the filemanager. (I had to think about this a long time, but now I
- have some ideas and the motivation to go on)
- At least, I hope that I wont include so many errors as in the former release of
- this program.
-
- Note:
- -----
- Comments, ideas and bugfixes are welcome. Flames will be ignored.
- I hope you will enjoy it, if not, your problem.
-
- Special:
- --------
- My thanks to all gentle people who reported bugs. (They are to many to list them all here)
-

- Bye, Ove.
