Hello George, Nice to hear from you.
I found ratmenu here. https://github.com/trapd00r/ratmenu <https://medium.com/netdef/installing-debian-packages-on-slackware-1ed5b8e1d3c0> Do you have any advice for installing it in Slackware? There is a script deb2tgz which does its best to convert a deb file (Debian) to a tgz (Slackware) file. https://medium.com/netdef/installing-debian-packages-on-slackware-1ed5b8e1d3c0 I just got nervous when I saw mentions of "menu" files, the subject makes my brain boil and my feet feel deep fried, as those "menu" file configurations probably beyond my ken.
