	Welcome to G.R.E.A.T !

What is GREAT?

GREAT (Graphical Environment And Desktop) is a graphical user interface
running on Unix(tm) machines under X11. GREAT is intended to replace the
xterm command line with easy-to-use drag-and-drop operations.
GREAT's DCE (ditributed Computer Environment) features allows the user to
access remote files and ressources as easy as local ones.
The server necessary for linux networks is included in this distribution,
ports to all major platforms (SysV, SunOS, AIX, HP-UX) are available upon 
request.
Great is a collection of various programs like gfm (File Manager),
cmdframe (Desktop), replacements of standard Unix tools (gls, gcp, etc.),
more are currently being developed.

Where are the sources?

This is, as you might have already notices, a binary-only distribution. The
source for GREAT is not publically available at this time.
We've developed GREAT without any funds. This has been so expensive that we
can't possibly afford to give GREAT away for free right now.
We will release the source as soon as we'll have enough funds to continue
it's development. 
Contact klako@elara.fsag.de for further information.
This only applies to the DESKTOP, the networking sources for GREATComm will
be released shortly.
