Subject: RE: AfterStep 1.6.10 on cygwin

Hello Kevin,

I have searched the mail archives as you should also in connection
with other compilations. For example it occurs in compiling
tk or tcl - I cannot remember. The fix there I saw is simply removal
of a section of code by conditional compiliation. You will find in the
archives that this function is not supported/used.

In regard to WindowMaker look for the statement that forms the
commandline argument with the sprintf function and remove the "&".
I cannot get at my diff file right now.

Regard,
Dan
