In common with many other US citizens, my knowledge of the Norwegian language
is zero. I got rather excited when I saw miniinfo posted in the binaries
group, because miniterm is a promising looking program, but configuring it
is not something I'm all that anxious to do without documentation. After
using uudecode and lharc, miniinfo becomes a file with a .dtp extension
(I'm guessing Calamus input, but strictly from ignorance). A string search
shows what appear to be declarations of several D.E.G.A.S. images and a
very small amount of text. I really don't want to say anything bad about
leoe, who has provided some attractive software for no money, and whose
command of my native language is much better than my command of his. But this
borders on torture. Could we get a more generally readable set of instructions
for configuration and the use of any non-obvious commands?
