Steve: Thanks for the detailed reply. Bluefish was not a package in Salix
Linux, so I downloaded the source and muddled my way though

{autoconf; ./configure; make; sudo make install}

and tried it on some leapad files. I don't expect to live long enough to
explore all its possibilities!

I am half-way though writing the manual for the sinitrc 2nd edition [as
pure text]. There are a few porting things that need documenting [they are
mostly in my head at the moment].

One thing that puzzles me about the DNG mailing lists. The partial email
address [eg jack@???] is printed for some users [incuding me]! Surely this
is a bug.
