units.

Puppies, so load your devx file in your add'l sfs's), and pygtk installed.
Now this one may or may not be in the devx file...
As for me, I had no problem running gconvert in my slacko-6.0b, but your
mileage may vary (YMMV). Let me know. If gonvert does not work on
your Puppy, I'm sure I've got a pygtk version lying around somewhere
that I can pet-ify and upload here!
Hopefully, this will fill in the gap left by gMeasures not working properly.
You can use either this "gonvert" application, or our old pConvert by
Puppyist rarsa.
Final note -- If you get pConvert, tkConvert or gonvert to work on your
Puppy, please make sure to send gMeasures to /dev/null while saying:
"This, with compliments from musher0!"
It's a mantra, you see, the order of words is important, you have to say
it that way. Otherwise, any bad program can come back and haunt
your Puppy.
Many thanks in advance for supporting working, un-haunted, programs.
Enjoy!
