Hi,

this is a release candidate, testing only oks or installer for an older puppy (pre 1.0.4) without mut ok too
This one always runs in debug mode (roxapp script to change that) and output file is in /root/my-roxapps/Mut/mut-0.0.5.rc2/mut-debug-output.txt

Remember if you find bugs in it, its useful if you can report them.

I'm so chuffed, this is my first dotpup (crosses fingers)

BC and DC 1.06-17 - cli arithmetic

BC is a language that supports arbitrary precision numbers with interactive execution of statements. There are some similarities in the syntax to the C programming language.

DC is a reverse-polish desk calculator which supports unlimited precision arithmetic. It also allows you to define and call macros.

these are command line programs

your Mut dotpup seems to work ok

you don't have to use my roxapp of course
and you can change the icons
(i used a crystal icon from art.gnome.org ... hope the license is ok, it's sometimes hard to find the license)

i think maybe you can delete old dotpups from the server .... or replace them by uploading newer version

put your dotpups anyplace you like ... i put mine all in one thread so they are all in one place, in date order ... maybe it would be better if they were split up in more than 1 thread

Hi. I get an error message within a qemu environment running 1.0.3
bare bones intalled on hdd.

Error: Could not read "/proc/bus/usb/devices": no such file or directory

That's probably because qemu doesn't have any usb devices to simulate..?
So I believe, one would see this only if there are no usb devices at all..?

Nethack 3.4.3

NetHack is a single player dungeon exploration game
Unlike many other Dungeons & Dragons-inspired games,
the emphasis in NetHack is on discovering the detail
of the dungeon and not simply killing everything in sight.

this will download another 1.4 megs
NetHack uses about 4 megs of hard drive space

this installs an icon in my-roxapps
drag the icon to the desktop if you want a shortcut
click the icon to run NetHack
right click the icon for Help or to Uninstall

NOTE: requires QT ... install QT using pupget

Worth while on my newer computer, but not a happy camper on my old 200 Acer, without USB (same as Peter). Back to pmount on the Acer. (Std 1.0.3)
Good Luck, Kal

Wavsplit cuts wav files into predefined pieces. Very fast and useful when recording radio, albums and cassettes.

This dotpup is the wavsplit utility described in this wiki on recording audio casettes: http://www.goosee.com/puppy/wikka/SoundRecording

It also includes wavren for renaming wav files. Not a lot of features in wavren, but the price is right.

File list:

/root/my-documents/wavsplitREADME.txt
/root/my-applications/bin/wavsplit
/root/my-applications/bin/wavren

[Enjoy!

WISH Supernotepad 1.4 dotpup

How about another text editor? This one looks pretty good.

Read about it and view screenshot at:

Homepage: http://www.geocities.com/pa_mcclamrock/

I'll also test some of his other apps and utilities to see if they are worth making a dotpup.

Enjoy!

Thanks to klhrevolutionist for the recommendation and link.

do you get any error messages if you open an rxvt window and type nethack?

what do you get if you type:
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

it should include /usr/lib/qt/lib in the path

if you are using John Murga's Opera-Puppy, i don't think it has Qt support ... the standard Puppy does

klhrevolutionist also reported a problem:
"nethack: error while loading
shared libraries: libqt-mt.so.3: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory"
see:http://www.murga.org/~puppy/viewtopic.php?t=1122

i'm running Puppy 1.0.3 and it seems to have this QT library file:
# ls /usr/lib/qt/lib/
libqt-mt.la libqt-mt.so.3 libqt-mt.so.3.3.4
libqt-mt.so libqt-mt.so.3.3 qt-mt.pc

it's about 7.4 megs (i notice if you strip it, the file is about 1 meg smaller)

nethack seems to run ok on my Puppy anyway

there is a gtk version ... it won't run on Puppy without some extra library files though ... the Qt version doesn't seem to need any extra library files

[mouldy]

Ok, I am running Murga's Opera Puppy. No /usr/lib/qt

Wasnt that big of a deal, I just used to like the old Colossal Caves type games and thought this would be along those lines. But thinking about it, this is probably not a text game, though you had my attention when you mentioned it not being a "kill everything in sight" type game.

Guest2, thanks for adv770. Been long time since I've seen any version of Colossal Caves. Are there other linux text games out there?
