I too tried KDE 1.0 and got tired of *.core files laying around. Today installed the most current port of KDE 1.1 on my 2.2.8 box and putted around with kmail to see if it could make me happy. Kmail reminds me a lot of Eudora. If only message composition/viewing were in a separate floating window (as I'm using with exmh2, and used to under the Mac versions of Eudora) then I'd almost be happy. Guess my first sin was to run kmail under twm. Kmail spits out way too many debugging messages, many of which say, "something failed." Attempts to launch Help generated a core dump, possibly because I wasn't running kwm. IMHO if KDE was fit for public consumption then it would bother to find out it lacks some resource before core dumping. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
