Once I've spent enought time trying install "tremify" to say:" It will
never work, do not do it ! "
I've wrote to author of "termify" and get very clear answer, that
he have not time and will to update this package to ELF version.
It still over 3 years DLL version.
The main idea of "termify" is libt that replace libc in networking part.
It is impossible to do it now because off different format.
Anyway, if you want just libtermnet.so (ELF !!!), you can get it
from "termbin.tgz" in slack-3.0 . ( I think it is in app disks, but not sure).
