The off-topic posts in reply to http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php? ... 742#p44184 post in the programming subforum were move to here by me, Rava, since that discussion is not about coding or about the "goodies" (aka aliases & functions) I share there) and not about Porteus, therefore I moved that discussion here where its on topic..
