Hello,
Well I am running redhat 4.2 with the source of 2.0.35 and I am actually
trying to run fvwm95-2.
If you could send me a script I would greatly appreciate it.
The paths of my files are
#! /bin/sh
/usr/X11R6/bin/xterm
/usr/X11R6/bin/xbiff
exec /usr/lib/X11/fvwm95-2
Thanks for your help in this matter....
Bregards,
Joe Fialkowski
