Thankyou very much, Christian, for replying so promptly and helpfully. :)

I'm at a bit of a loss for "dep". Depth? Departure? Some peculiar abbreviation for Description?

Dependencies. Dependency handling is one of the best recognized qualities of Debian packages and the whole dependency handling system is a key feature of all software (such as aptitude) which deal with package installation.

And I'd been translating strings about dependency up till then...

There have to be some broken dependencies in my head. :)

src/main.cc:68
"%s %s compiled at %s %s\n"

At a certain time? At a certain speed? Over a certain time? At a certain place? The three "ats" here are not the same word or structure in my language. :(

From the sources:

static void show_version() { printf(_("%s %s compiled at %s %s\n"), PACKAGE, VERSION, __DATE__, __TIME__); #ifdef __GNUC__ printf(_("Compiler: g++ %s\n"), __VERSION__); #endif #ifdef NCURSES_VERSION printf(_("\nNCurses version: %s\n"), NCURSES_VERSION); #else printf(_("\nCurses version: %s\n"), curses_version()); #endif printf(_("libsigc++ version: %s\n"), SIGC_VERSION); }

That's very handy, thanks. I probably don't have these packages on my OSX system, so it wouldn't do me much good to hunt up the source in another such case... unless I could grab it temporarily ... hmm.

First %s: software name Second: software version Third: Date of compilation Fourth: Time of compilation

All of which I can now frame in that string. Thankyou.
