[nos-bbs] OT: Linsmith on Slackware

[Chris Maness]

Yes, I saw that package.  However, I am running 13.37 or whatever it is.  I
am surprised that the autoconf script did not find as a missing dependency
and fail in building the makefile.

I ended up finding an app that fit the bill on my android smart phone.
 Isn't that ironic.

Thanks,
Chris Maness
