No, it means we have to post even more, since it is just page 19 for me. Who goes with standard settings?

Zombie usr/share/doc directory found under extra/fvwm-2.6.1/fvwm-2.6.1-i486-1.txz.

Yeah - I've already complained about this more than once in more than one place (including Pat) - fvwm doesn't pay attention to --docdir. Also, while I haven't tested the package, I bet it still complains on startup about the nonsense with the fvwm-menu-directory being hardcoded into the builtin menu which triggers whether you use the builtin menu or not and complains about a 'root menu' not being found. Cool that it's included now, though.

I gather one or both of these things will be fixed in a little while, though. I patch it (delete a line) to fix the builtin menu but I doubt Pat would want to do that. But the docdir cleanup needs to happen in the SlackBuild at least for now.

For me it is the twelfth only.

Me too ...

However, I trust Pat V's judgment on when to release.

Hey Mr. V - What's a grue?

The first mention of grues in the Zork games is the following ominous line:

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

Further investigation will reveal more about their nature:

> what is a grue?

The grue is a sinister, lurking presence in the dark places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

Samac was faster, I was little slow in posting. LOL

I'd best start wrapping this up or I'm likely to be eaten by a grue.

You bet!!! ;D

There's some Zork in that one, but it also recalls another bit of Colossal Cave Adventure:

The last few months of devel have been a twisty little maze of passages.

For those who have never played Zork on Apple ][, taste Zork I here:

a couple of my children have been playing zork on xbox. i didn't realize it's been around so long...

vtel57 · 04-24-2011, 03:37 PM

Wow! Zork. Coincidentally, I was just reminiscing about playing those Infocom games the other day.

A grue, indeed. HA! Grues were the least of my worries back then. The all-nighters playing those games w/ pizza, soda, and many packs of Marlboro were taking more of a toll than the grues were. Fun times, though.

Yeeesh! I was a young whipper-snapper back then, too... just 22 years old or so.

Ah... the memories.

For playing those Infocom games, I recommend using Gargoyle.
