I forgot) I am. If this gets as big as it should be, I'll start a brand new Part 4 for DECwindows stuff. I'd be quite happy to have you (i.e. not me) get it started. BTW, I'd prefer that people who had things to add to the FAQ post them here first so that people more knowlegeable than myself have a chance to give their input. (Suggesting this to people has unfortunately caused many to crawl back into the woodwork rather than actually doing it, but I still prefer it to adding something that is possibly incorrect.) The one month release cycle of the FAQ isn't a good way to hammer out problems in contributions. Since John has volunteered (THANKS!), send him DECwindows stuff. John, when you think it is ready for inclusion, post it here for "public review". After that, send me your current version, and I'll add it to the list, and again, thanks for your efforts. -- Terry Poot The McCall Pattern Company (uucp: ...!rutgers!ksuvax1!mccall!tp) 615 McCall Road (800)255-2762, in KS (913)776-4041 Manhattan, KS 66502, USA
