Yup. I have to work on an M$ OS at work, but have been trying to recreate the L&F of my linux box from home which is Debian 2.0, w/ enlightenment && gnome. Having burned several weeks of free time on this, things are starting to come together... I now have an E-0.15 snapshot from 19980904 running quite well (albeit v. slowly!) with cygwin32 on NT4.0SP3. Before that I got WindowMaker 0.19 working... it has no where near as many library dependencies as E, so was easier to port, but it seemed to crash every 4 or 5 hours. Before that, I was using someone elses port of AfterStep which I found on the web. I can post some details if anyone is interested. Cheers, Gary V.
