Folks, Seyon 1.91 on ref is *ancient*. There has been no less than
15 releases since that version. Unfortunately, there won't be any
more binaries for 386BSD (not from me anyway) since ref - before
its untimely demise - was my only access to 386BSD. However, the
source should compile without a hitch on 386BSD. You can get the
latest version, 2.10, from sipb.mit.edu:/pub/seyon. It's a vast
improvemnt over older versions like 1.91, and the new SeQuickKeys
alone are worth the upgrade. You can have your own custom buttons
to do just about anything in Seyon (Lotus SmartIcons? huh! this is
even more flexible)
