[comp.windows.news] openwindons 2.0

I've just changed from OW 1.0 to OW 2.0. I was nice to notice the
speedup in X-side. I'm also dissapointed about the fact that no
further development has not (yet) been done to the NeWS0-side.

After 3 days I have the following questions:

- How to change the font of mailtool ? I was not able to find the solution
  in OW 1.0, and I have not found it in 2.0 either.

- The new Calandar Manager is fine, but the way it reads time is mysterious.
  0:59 is sometimes converted to 1:59 etc. What I need is 24 hour clock
  without am/pm-game. Is there any possibility to change to 24 hour clock ?

- In OW 1.0 I used PS-code to configure window-manager (pswm). It was
  needed, for example, to make FrameMaker 1.3 (X-version) work. The
  old pswm does not work under 2.0. Where can I found a new version
  of pswm ?

- My psterm (based on the one made by Grasshopper group) dies sometimes
  to:
Process: 0x38c7e8 (Unnamed process)   Error: stackoverflow

  does anyone know the reason for that ?
