:D Hello,
As a long time Puppy user, and small time Developer, I find myself typing the same code again and again... Being a half blind arthritic Dyslexic, well, I hate to type..
I have found that many things are easy enough to Open up in Puppy, but some are not so easy to pack back up again..
Examples:
To open an ISO in Puppy, you click on it.. :)
But for newer users, repacking it into a bootable ISO isnt as "one click" easy..
The same applies to an SFS file..
Or how about unpacking, editing, and repacking the initrd??
Or tarring/untarring directories...
And of course, compiling a source tarball into a pet...

So I have written a simple GUI to aid in these processes..

The first button opens a window for you to put the contents of your ISO into.. Clicking OK turns it into a bootable ISO..

The second does the same for SFS files...

The third allows you to link an initrd into it, unpacks it for editing, and when OK is clicked, repacks it into an initrd again...

The fourth will unpack and/or repack tarballs...

The fifth button in a front end to Amigo`s awesome src2pkg..
Drop a source tarball into the window, click OK, and (hopefully) get a pet..
src2pkg must be installed separately, I will post a pet...

A lot more to do, this is just an alpha...
Testing needed.. any takers???

Wow that is very nice !
I have Lighthouse Puppy version 5.03-G, I believe it is based on Slackware 13. I want to know if your program will work on my version of Puppy ? I just had my first experience compiling a software from source and it takes time.
Thanks for making this tool available

Michel
