Gerd, et al,
setcrystal, sethdlc and smmixer are all included in Craig's latest
versions, ax25-utils_2.1.42a-6.deb (also in ax25-utils_2.1.42a-7.deb,
which is linked with ncurses 4).
smdiag is not included. The notes in
the package say:
Some hdlcutil binaries are not in this package because they require
the xforms library.
Craig can be reached at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
