My installation (Mandrake 8.1) actually comes with a package entitled verse. But there is no documentation that came with it. (What is the use of writing code without explaining how to use it? Linux needs people who can write documentation!)
Does anyone know how to use this package? Or is it just part of the standard verse environment? Paul On Tue, Feb 26, 2002 at 12:47:53AM -0600, Chris Jones wrote: > From: "Christopher M.
