Bones 0.1

December 20, 2009 — BarryK
Bones is getting a bit more meat on it, and I have now released version 0.1.

This is a PET package, available from here:

Thanks to ecube (Olov) who has contributed a helper-script, bones_diff.pl, Bones is now at the early stage of being able to examine differences between saves.

There is now a main GUI window, invoked by typing 'bones' at the prompt, so Bones is heading towards being highly GUI-fied. I have updated the web page with information:

Does anyone know an easy way to extract just one file out of a .tar.gz, without actually expanding the whole thing? I think Midnight Commander can do it, but I need something standalone for that one purpose only.
