Bones 0.1

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:

http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/quirky/pet_packages-quirky/bones-0.1.pet

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:

http://bkhome.org/bones/

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.
