I'm still here, physically if not mentally.

Answered below.

It has been real quiet, actually, unless I'm missing mail too.
DK> So, Chuck, did things go 'Horribly Wrong (tm)'?
Actually, yes. Which is why things have been delayed. I had a list
of about 30 items that I was trying to get into this next release, and
I have about 15 of them done and a few partially done. They all would
have been ready, but I was hit with a coredump that resulted from
trying to merge in too many patches at once (all of which had to be
done by hand). I just figured out the problem this past Wednesday.
So, I think I'm going to release it later today (provided my final
tests go ok) minus the stuff I didn't finish, since it's taken much
longer than anticipated. I'll just move those others into the next
beta release.

Haven't a clue on that one. I haven't heard from him since I
contacted him about some problems w/ FvwmButtons under AIX.

I guess that was meant for Jarl to answer...

Nope. That one won't happen until after the first official release
and the infamous Great Style Flag Rewrite.
And speaking of the first official release, that's going to happen
soon. Probably after 2 more betas (this next one, and one more to
finish up what I didn't finish for this one). It's been put off for
far too long.
