AfterStep

The following libraries are not necessarily required to run and enjoy AfterStep however, support for them is included within AfterStep and its various Modules. If you use a package management system (like those provided by distributions such as RedHat, Mandrake, Debian, etc.) you will need to get the appropriate -devel package and not the actual source code mentioned above. AfterStep has a few tools to play with which are in the tools/ directory. The "Uninstall-Old-AfterStep" is a script to use to remove the old binaries of 1.3.x and 1.4.x binaries, man pages and documents. Simply read the top portion of this script to find the usage. Without any options, it will only remove the core afterstep files, leaving the apps that used to be shipped with the releases. The "bughint" file can be run when finding and reporting bugs. Please then open an issue on github ( ) and upload this file plus any other relevant info (not a complete core file, please!). Both "makeasclean" and "makeaspatch" are used to clean out the source tree and making patches to the distribution (in a proper format). If you happen to run AfterStep from a Debian package on a Debian distribution, you might want to install the "popularity-contest" package so AfterStep will be kept as the most often installed window managers and will thus be present on the first disks of the CD and DVD sets. You can install the "popularity-contest" package by entering the following command at the prompt : apt-get install popularity-contest
