Ok, I've been going through the links you sent me. I installed all the software from
I got stuck again on the man/info thing, which conduces to this: I can use man with no problem, but it usually gives me way more info than I can use or figure out, except in the rare cases when they give example commands at the end. Info is supposed to give more info still, but I have never been able to figure out how to coax it into doing anything useful. ( I went through four or five info tutorials and still couldn't figure out anything useful.) I think I'm probably just too retarded to be able to use info.
So then I decided to forge ahead. I found the latest orphaned package, which was
png23d
and installed it, which seemed to work, maybe. I got the following:at the end of the install messages. Then I went back to the instructions, and it said to get the upstream source code in the form of a tar.gz file. My question is this, wouldn't I just find a git repository and clone it these days?

Good Morning,
I have a good familiarity with basic operation of emacs and git, and have dabbled in various programming languages including Perl, Shell scripting, Python and many others. My Spanish is very good, and English is my native language. I could certainly do menial programming tasks, or help with documentation or editing web pages. I love Debian software and values. If anyone would like to discuss ways I could potentially help out, feel free to email me directly.
Sincerely,
Mark Opie
