I found a menu option called the recycler, in the GWorkspace menu, and that's where the trouble began. Seems fine now, I start up the Recycler.app docked in WindowMaker without trouble, on its own now. > If you are running debian packages, you are probably running stone-age old > stuff (0.8.8 ?).

Come over, we're open. Having recently played with a Mac, I find objective C and the NextStep technology interesting. I did write a simple hello world app and then try to port it to Linux with GNUstep, and run into minor trouble, both with the documentation and the differences between the platforms. Still, interesting. I'd like to play more in that environment. Mike -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
