Not really, unless the Windows machine has an X server installed. If you want to take that approach, look at Running AfterStep under Win32!. But there is an AfterStep-alike program called LiteSTEP, which gives Windows machines an AfterStep-ish appearance. As of this writing, LiteSTEP development versions are available at http://dev.litestep.net, while some screen shots are available at http://litestep.computerheaven.net/. Keep in mind, however, that these programs are not versions of AfterStep. Please do not send questions about LiteSTEP to the AfterStep mail list. If you want to make AfterStep work under any version of Windows, you are welcome to try following the instructions at the Web sites listed above, and every last bit of associated documentation. Please do not contact Andrew Sullivan for help, however, as he cannot help you: he does not use AfterStep with Windows.
