Id like to package all the games http://www.newbreedsoftware.com/x/ which I can get working. All games are (gemdropx will be made) GPL. As nobody reacted to my call on debian-devel-games, it seems I'll have to package them myself. Most of these games use SDL (available as libsdl* in debian) for

meta key for xemacs

Hi, How can I define new Meta keys for Xemacs? I have two slink/i386 installations, on one I can use the windows key as Meta key, on the other I can't, most of the time. I had the impression it worked for a short time while editing a shell script, but then, I couldn't... My .emacs and

setting up a HP 880C/850C

Hi, I got an HP 880C yesterday which works in principle. Now I have two or three questions: Ive seen there is an (experimental?) gs driver for newer HPs, available as a patch. Are there plans to integrate it into gs or is it not worth it? When printing with a2ps the first two columns of the let
