It's time for the promised new next release of our GREAT package.

What is GREAT?

GREAT is the GRaphical Environment And deskTop which supports fully
configurable drag and drop as well as transparent network access.

This software requires:

     - Linux v0.99 pl >= 15
     - standard X11r5 distribution
     - XFree86 >= 2.0
 
and the following libraries:
 
    libXm.so.1 (DLL Jump 1.2pl3) => /usr/X386/lib/libXm.so.1.2.3
    libXpm.so.3 (DLL Jump 3.3) => /usr/X386/lib/libXpm.so.3.3.0
    libc.so.4 (DLL Jump 4.5pl19) => /lib/libc.so.4.5.19
    libXt.so.3 (DLL Jump 3.1) => /usr/X386/lib/libXt.so.3.1.0
    libX11.so.3 (DLL Jump 3.1) => /usr/X386/lib/libX11.so.3.1.0
 
 There are two different distributions:
 
    greatb-0.91.m.tar.gz  
    GREAT binary distribution, requires Motif 1.2.3 runtime libraries 
                                        ^^^^^^^^^^^
    greatb-0.91.tar.gz
    GREAT binary distribution, statically linked w/ Motif libraries
 
 The package contains the following modules:
 
    gfm      - The GREAT filenmanager
    cmdframe - The GREAT desktop
    gpanel   - The place to store your most needed applications (reeses!)
    ghelp    - The GREAT multimedia hypertext help system
    gshow    - The GREAT textfile browser
    gtrash   - Never do it without. The GREAT 'save delete' utility
 
    (GPANEL requires your X-Server to support the SHAPE extension.)
    
 and a lot of commandline tools like:
 
    gls      - Like 'ls' with integrated DCE
    gcp      - Like 'cp' with integrated DCE
    gcat     - Like 'cat' with .....
    gpipe*   - to access remote exported resources (like tapes)
 
    (DCE = Distributed Computer Environment)
 
 as well as the "netfd" networking server. 
 
 What is new?
    
    Thanks for all the suggestions and bug-reports. We put a lot of your
    thinkings into this version of GREAT.
 
    gpanel and ghelp are new. Cmdframe and gfm has been improved a lot.
    Installation is easier.
 
    We can't count all the bug-fixes and improvements made. So - get it and
    take a look.
