myDSL Extensions (deprecated) :: .DSLs not working in 0.7.3
Hi ripcrd6,
Some of the packages you were asking about are indeed rather strange
and, with the exception of latex, designed to be very light and were primarily
for live use (and probably by old Solaris users only). Most, f2c defnitely excepted,
should go down to HD without problem but I'd try and use them live/frugal primarily.
For your questions; Latex, rather clumbsily needs a script ran, but it comes
with examples; if your latex works you'll have plenty of test cases for gv;
xmgr and xv are for commandline use (although xv could probably do with being
iconized).
f2c might be best avoided.
Some folk use DSL to resurrect old hardware. I use f2c to resurrect old software;
I've stacks of old scientific programs that would be hell on earth to rewrite
and ensure they gave the right final numbers all of the time (that takes years of
use and careful debugging). f2c often zips through these programs no trouble at
all.
However many of these will not be of general/any interest and I've no objections,
whatsoever, to anything of mine being removed from repository.
All the best.
Well, I didn't mind testing them. I just wanted to help in a way I could. I can't program my way out of a paper bag so I frequently test, write or edit docs, answer user questions and teach them how to RTFM and google. I build .msi files in my day job, so the .dsl files are up my alley. Soon I'd like to try to build a few if you guys don't beat me to the stuff I'm interested in first. 
I probably don't have much reason to use those, so I'll remove from my ISO, but there shouldn't be a problem w/ them being in the repository.
Hi nucpc
I haven't seen you around here much recently...
Glad to see your back...
The xpen.dsl was fantastic !!
and thanks for all your contribs...
If you see any challenges with some of my rebuilds, let me know.
I wasn't fully aware of how to use many of them,
so I didn't run a lot of tests or checks.

Hi Ke4nt,
Yep, the old day time job has been particularly annoying recently....not long 'till
Christmas though. I've quickly zipped through all the rebuilds and everything looks good (or
rather run as well as ever they did - which for latex2rtf isn't saying much....). Meant to
remind ripcrd6 that `wv' is actually commands like `wvHtml' earlier though...
As for xpens, well I still release a batch a day......
All the best, nucpc
Hi Quak2 fans,
i burned an iso with dsl 0.7.2 and the full quak2 package ( i bought the original game a few years ago.. ), and it works great, even over network, sound etc,..all up and running.
If you want i will test it also with 0.7.3.
but it should frag never before also on this release
Btw ke4nt1,
I send you the missing files for vnc4x.dsl ... sorry, i didn't had the time..
regards
