- sample_users: sample users 'gonzo', 'snake', and 'satan'

- sample_users: Internet (!). This package stems from a time before the "adduser"
- sample_users: utility was put in Slackware, so it really isn't all that helpful
- sample_users: anymore. You could use "adduser" to create some sample accounts
- sample_users: nearly as easily

- termify: termify-0.3
- termify:
- termify: Termify converts dynamically linked binaries for term use by changing

- termify:
- termify: termify /bar/foo
- termify:
- termify: Will create ./termfoo in the current directory.
