My read on AfterStep was that it was a wrapper / based on fvwm, is that accurate?

I tried it but found WindowMaker more internally consistent. In fact, I'm still using it, some 16 years later.

It was based on fvwm code, but it evolved independently.

What was good is that it enabled fvwm modules to be ported very easily.

Good memories from a long time ago (started doing that in 1997 ... wow! cf http://www.afterstep.org/visualdoc.php?show=copyright&sub=ol...)
