[Coco] [Color Computer] Rainbow on Disc -- August Update

[John R. Hogerhuis]

FWIW, another Linux user notified me that there is a djview viewer in
the Debian repositories.

away :-)  How the world has changed... in 2005 it's easier and cheaper
to find and install software for Linux than Windows.

A search of the archive:

apt-cache search djvu

returns the following:

djview - Viewer for the DjVu image format
djvulibre-bin - Utilities for the DjVu image format
djvulibre-plugin - Browser plugin for the DjVu image format
djvuserve - CGI program for unbundling DjVu files on the fly
evince - Document (postscript, pdf) viewer
libdjvulibre-dev - Development files for the DjVu image format
libdjvulibre1 - Runtime support for the DjVu image format


So for Debian GNU/Linux users, installing a viewer is as easy as:

apt-get install djview


This opens the possibility of easily making a 50Meg bootable "Damn Small
Linux" remaster that could be put onto the DVD... that would provide an
environment for viewing the DVD no matter what OS or browser is on a
given machine as long as you're willing to reboot to play with it. Too
bad xmess is "non-commercial" license, or we could include that for a
few megs more and actually be able to play coco games straight from the
magazine (would have to collect the ROM from somewhere though... the net
or usb key drive and add it once to a multi-session DVD image).
