Is the date of the documentation file auto updated in each woof-CE build or are you preparing to do a new release? (I hope)

About root (administrator), spot and fido
Note that although Slacko Puppy has Busybox, which is a very small toolkit of utility applications, in some cases they do not have the required functionality and are replaced by the full versions. These replacements include: modprobe, cat, cp, gzip, gunzip, losetup, ls, mkdir, mv, rm, sed, sort, tar, wget, date, find, grep, fgrep and egrep.
Note that Slacko Puppy applications are open source and under various GPL licences, however there are a few exceptions.
Planmaker Free Edition (spreadsheet editor) and Textmaker Free Edition (wordprocessor) are PET packages. The licence document is included in the packages. We need to be able to open and edit Excel-format spreadsheets, which Planmaker does admirably, and the Free Edition is just that, free, no embedded adverts, no usage restrictions (except for a limited maximum size that can be edited). I would like to do the right thing by the developer, Softmaker Software, though, and recommend that you consider the full edition if Planmaker is to be used for serious commercial purposes.
Some releases of Puppy have the Opera web browser, which is closed source but free.
Adobe Flash Player
Some releases of Puppy include the Macromedia Flash plugin for the web browser. This is closed source but free. The distribution licence requires that I include the logo and a link to the Macromedia site.
