Err, that's mainly because I'm a lazy bum. (I was supposed to package it for them.) I stopped working on it when I discovered some problems with locale, you might need to use libBrokenLocale.so to get it to work correctly. > Any recommendations how to set it up right for Debian 2.0?

The missing details were adding some readme's and a script to automate everything. get: http://www.cps.msu.edu/~dunham/out/swim-2.1.tar.gz and untar it. It will make a directory called swim-2.1. "cd" into this directory, and copy the .tgz files from the SWiM CDROM into this directory. I don't have the CD mounted right now, but you need the ones for Red Hat 5.0. At this stage you will have a tree that looks like: swim-2.1/ --+-- debian/ ---- a bunch of control files | \--- a bunch of *.tgz files After they are copied, you can type: fakeroot debian/rules binary and the packages will be built and will show up in the parent directory. (You will need the "debhelper" and "fakeroot" packages installed for this to work. If you are root, you can leave out the fakeroot part.) IIRC, the version of SWiM 2.1 that I was working from didn't have RPM packages, so YMMV. The packages are broken down into: swim, libxm2g, libxm2g-dev, libxm2g-slib, swim-mwm, swim-man, and swim-examples.
