New Release of Twclock
by T + J Williams 20 Dec '07

20 Dec '07

Hi All, There is a new version of twclock at http://wa0eir.ham.org This version fixes a couple bugs, including a permission problem on some systems that prevented beeping the PC speaker. The makefile also supports DESTDIR, which should make life easier for distro maintainers. -- 73 and Happy Holidays, Ted - wa0eir http://wa0eir.ham.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ham+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ham+help(a)opensuse.org
