That's it. 

I just uploaded the first (almost) stable release of AfterSTEP (ex Bowman),
compiled for NetBSD-Amiga (bin 11, X11R6). Hubert should have already moved
the files to contrib/X11.

The files: 

	afterstep-1.0pre2-bin11.tar.gz
	afterstep-1.0pre2-bin11.readme

AfterSTEP is a N*XTSTEP-look and feel window manager, coming with some 
modules and extra software customized to maintain the original look. 

There's some extra documentation (including a faq) in the archive file. 

Test it and write me if it all goes smoothly. 


Notes: 
======

afterstep makes a heavy use of the colormap. If you have a 8bit display
this could lead to the Wharf (dock tool) not loading all the pixmaps, or
some other programs complaining about too few color cells available. 

Make sure you istall the 8-bit versions of the pixmaps, this can help.
Also, edit the .steprc file (Wharf section) and change the order and 
appearance of the Wharf icons to reduce the use of the cmap. 

Enjoy!
