Well, it does say "script" four times, although I suppose<br>
non-programmers might not make the connection between "script"
and<br>
"command-line".</blockquote><br>
I found the descriptions for all 3 netpbm packages to be similar enough
that they all became vague.<br><br>
netpbm<br>
The netpbm package contains a library of functions which...<br><br>
netpbm-progs<br>
The netpbm-progs package contains a group of scripts for...<br><br>
netpbm-devel<br>
The netpbm-devel package contains the header files and static
libraries...<br><br>

hmmm.<br>
But in any case, it's all working now.<br><br>
It interesting to me that you infer that one need's to be a programmer to
'get' it - which I suppose it why Linux has not caught on at the desktop
level yet really. Most people don't 'get' it.<br><br>
I've been programming for 15 years and script to me sounds like "a
series of commands to make a task easier" not the executables which
would interface with my "scripts".<br><br>
Oh well.<br><br>
I've sent a short message to the developer suggesting a minor rewording
for the "Linix Dumb", like me. I'll catch on yet.<br><br>
