Hi all,
Dave Turner mentioned ctwm in the "devuan ascii - how much of systemd is
still in there? UPDATE" thread, and because I've failed at every

The devuan.org site says "Mirroring Devuan packages is being
documented…"
How far along is the documentation? If we're close to a beta, could
someone contact me off-list?

The PC/XT used a clock/data protocol directly into an interrupt driven shift
