KDE 1.0 packages?

I installed kdebase, kdeutils, kdegraphics, etc, by finding the packages at the debian website. I installed and it works, but there are some problems related to permissions, and most problematic, there are many missing help files. How do I figure out whether I have kde 1.0 or a beta? What is

A question about an include file.

Could someone explain what the following line, which is taken from /usr/include/errno.h, means : extern void perror __P ((__const char* __s)); As I understand it, it means that perror is defined in an external file and returns a void type. But what are the __P, and __const ? And why
