S-Lang libc5 backward compatibility development kit

S-Lang is a C programmer's library that includes routines for the rapid development of sophisticated, user friendly, multi-platform applications.

The S-Lang library includes the following:

 *   Low level tty input routines for reading single characters at a time.
 *   Keymap routines for defining keys and manipulating multiple keymaps.
 *   A high-level keyprocessing interface (SLkp) for
      handling function and arrow keys.
 *   High level screen management routines for manipulating both
      monochrome and color terminals. These routines are very
      efficient. (SLsmg)
 *   Low level terminal-independent routines for manipulating the display
      of a terminal. (SLtt)
 *   Routines for reading single line input with line editing and recall
      capabilities. (SLrline)
 *   Searching functions: both ordinary searches and regular expression
      searches. (SLsearch)
 *   An embedded stack-based language interpreter with a C-like syntax.

This is the "altdev" version of the S-Lang development package, for building libc5 binaries (e.g. for Debian 1.3.x) on libc6 systems (Debian 2.0 to be).
