Hello!
Sorry but I can't use Ayttm!
I have the following message when I boot:
ayttmgzip bad bloktype 3
tar:unable to read all data.
I don't have this with openoffice by example and I use dsl 0.7.1.
Thanks for your help!

Haven't tried it myself, but it sounds like a bad download.

Just delete it and try downloading again. If it's still not working repost

It's working here just fine, redownloading is probably a good start.
Don't use Firefox, it does some strange things on downloads.
use wget <path to file>

The best place to get that file is
< http://arthur.ph.man.ac.uk/~pc/dslt.html >

Let me note that you will need to have the < tcltk8.3.dsl > also for it to run. Thanks for your interst in that package.
