slang, newt, whiptail

hi all, i am about to write an easy to use editor, using slang ... (remember this ugly emacs/vi discussion) i started with slang and noticed that there is nearly no documentation and no good screen/kbd support at all. so i tried newt. this one seems to bring it everything. but there is no

xanim and the dotofiles

no, that's not a new boygroup, it's a copyright problem. for special decodings xanim uses non-free software. i found the needed .o files for alpha. perhaps now is the moment to get xanim multi-platform ready. there is a server with a lot of objects including the missing for debian. the question

Absolute novices unwilling to learn should be lead gently to the nearest windows box. How about something like: [..] This editor has two modes, in Input mode you may enter text, in Command mode you may alter previously entered text. To enter input mode from command mode, hit i

xanim on alpha

hi, i tried to get an alpha-binary of xanim. because i didn't find it on the mirror i got the source and tried to compile. everything worked fine but a wrong path in rules (that one for the dotofiles.tgz, no ../ necesary). but then the linker complained about wrong binary: the source package

access

hi, i copied a harddisk with tar (kind of tar -c -f - | tar -x -f - -C /copy...) and lost a lot of accessinformation. it seems, that the umask dropped all the rights for writing for group and other. shure i didn't read the manual and thi sbehavier may be a feature, not a bug. but now i've got a

Re: xanim on alpha

Oops. I forgot to remove that evil archive from the source! Technically, we are not allowed to distrbute those. The xanim author got a permission to distribute them, but it's non-transferable. I tried to contact the company that owns the copyright, but got no response, and xanim author's

Re: Base Set: Suggested additions removals.

Alright, the more I think about this, the more I think that James is probably right. (NO flames, people can change there minds can't they?) Mc doesn't belong in the base set. i agree to this. neither does vi or emacs belong there, even if emacs whould be an 30KB sized editor.

path without saying what that set path should be. So, why do the vi users like _using_ vi? (Someone already said it's standard... can I get real reasons now? :) i'm faster with vi. that's all. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact

Re: VI reasons (was Re: Base Set: Suggested additions removals.)

If vi would fit on the rescue disk, do you think we would be discussing ae? i think it's not a good idea to put vi there. this editor can be used by a profi only and a prof can use any other editor too. a beginner won't be able to use vi but the easy to use small editor. maybe ae is bad, but it

Re: Base Set: Suggested additions removals.

I would like to have `mc' and the two packages it depends on placed into the base set. I think this is a horrendously bad idea. agreed -- see header -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: first package

but the second error seems to be more serious. in line 1 of my changelogfile is nothing wrong compared to the script. it just says: z (1.0-1) unstable; urgency=low (my package is called 'z' for now) is the name a problem (too short)? renamed it to zet: that works. so debian package names
