Listen. As I pointed out before, there are only two versions
of FVWM on the RH 4.0 CD, fvwm-1.24r and fvwm95-2.0.42a. The
rpm TheNextLevel IS NOT a version of fvwm, it is a (large)
collection of configuration files FOR fvwm. Fvwm-2 is
fundamentally different from fvwm-1, and now that I've downloaded
the sources and compiled fvwm-2, I can say that fvwm95-2 and
fvwm-2 also have fundamental differences. Fvwm-2 is not on the CD;
whether it was ever in a RH distribution as Dave Wreski claims,
I don't recall.
