----------------------------------------
AragonsCliAppsPackage V. 0.1

Date: 2009.06.15

ACAP is a collection of cli-apps for everyday usage. You may use them if you got an old box which runs sluggish with X-apps or if you just like them.

I hope this package runs on all kind of puppy-systems from old barebones to new full-featured releases. Please report back, if not.

----------------------------------------

I tried to include all dependencies but dependent on your system there might be more to add. please let me know.

I have not tested the apps extensively. All are compiled fresh in 4.21. I've had a short test run with 4.21 barebones, everything seems to be ok.

Cheers!

ADD: Students of programming often look for C or Pascal programming in console. Is DosBox the only way for those? Thanks!

Hi, I like and use most of these apps but when I try to add
to 431, it says for older kernel.

Is there an updated version yet?

sfs 4 for Puppy Linux 4.3.1 downloadable
*here*

[aragon]

@ Dingo
thanks, very much.

@ nogg321
as an alternative to dingos download, you could also use trios sfs-converter http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=45614 to convert the sfs to a 4.3 compatible version.

regarding update:
i'm actually not planning an update, but i'ts not out of sight.

I love CLI apps, but I have some unsolved problems here. Does anybody know how to:
- Enable frame-buffer console, I want to play mplayer in console
- Change fonts in console and rxvt, somehow it's ugly

Thanks

[aragon]

- Enable frame-buffer console

ha, ha, look here http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 034#384034

- Change fonts in console and rxvt

sorry... it has something to do with /root/.Xdefaults and /root/.Xressources for rxvt, but you will have to find out yourself...

Dingo/Aragon,
many thanks for prompt response!
used the download version and all is fine now ta.
I was about to use the 43 updater, but you beat me to it.

Huh?

Depends on what you want to do. Old timers wrote code in vi, managed by CVS, and used a makefile to call GCC to build the application, with GDB on hand if things blew up. You can also get get lots of IDE features in emacs, which runs in a GUI window under X or as a text-mode app from the command line if you exit the WM entirely. (I knew folks in the days when access to a Unix box was a dumb ASCII terminal who would invoke emacs when they logged on and do everything from within it, including writing code, debugging, compiling and building, reading and replying to email, reading newsgroups, working at the CLI level in a shell, and playing games.)

There are console mode IDEs. Poke around in http://texteditors.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl? ... itorFamily for some possibilities.

Pascal coding is a bit more of a challenge, since Borland withdrew their Kylix port of Delphi to Linux years ago. Lazarus is probably the option for Linux, but the IDE is a GUI app.
