A great money management program is MMEX at www.thezeal.com/software. It is kept current, freeware, and is generated for windows and linux OSs.
I use it and would like to see it in Puppy.

Childs game puppy?
How about removing any tool that could access a parents PC, hard drive and fill it full of games.
Games for the 3 to 8 year olds.
Be a great way to keep the kids occupied while doing house work.
I started my kids out on an old PC with learning games, and my boy could read by the time he was 3 years old.
I think puppy would be a great way to increase a childs knowledge level.
My kids played those learning games to have fun, and didn't even know they were actually learning important skills.
I sure hope this could happen.
Thanks.

Learning games were fun! I grew up on Jump Start, Number Muncher, O'dell Under, and more MECC games than I can remember. MECC was awesome, and they were more or less a local company too (I grew up in Minnesota).
One of my favorites was one where you were trapped in a museum that was comming to life. You could explore it and visit the exhibits to learn things and fix whatever problem happened. One of them let you help shape a wing correctly to generate lift, and another was assembling a lunar rover. Then there was the game where you got transformed into a troggle doll and transported to an island and needed to solve oodles of puzzles to get your body back and escape. I think it was called "The Island of Dr. Quandry" or something.
All those were on my elementary school's computers. They had an "open library" policy on Tuesdays and Thursdays where the library and labs staid open until six or seven, and anybody (student or not) could come in and use them or check out books. I'd stay after school and hang out in the library and computer labs, playing edu-games and reading books about space and dinosaurs. That place was awesome. It was the only school I've ever been to that was like that. They actually wanted me to learn. The rest of them just wanted to meet a quota.

community colleges promote learning much more than univarsities
examlpe: calc I we learned differentiation how to do related rates of course then integration, basically differentiation backwards (it is a good bit harder esp when trig or exponentials are involved), even threw in a little trig well maybe a lot of trig
UNCC on the other hand is on academic probation and thier calc class only made it to related rates.
yes, I have fond memorys of learning games. computers were mostly innocent back then (had a p1 166 16 Mb ram) before that an IBM PC yeah the original played dig-dug (mole man like pac man with a gun/shovel) on it ,wish it were on linux sdl version would be nice, dot matrix printer 16 color CRT top of the line at the time everybody else was monocrome green or amber and a few plasma screens on portables I have always wanted one of those portable computers 20' screen dual quad core xeon 32 Gb ram 4 16 Gb ramdrives in a raid array quad sli. I don't think it could pull enough juice from my car lighter
, maybe it could if my car had jet propulsion.

Gtklp
Thanks, disciple, for the gtklp package. I did get it to work by merely expanding it to "/". But that did not set up any icons.
When tried installing as an alien pupget, the Pupget Manager popped up the following message.
My immediate concern is to clean up the printing of unformatted text files, which can be done outside of an editor -- geany seems to hand a file off to lpr, since you cannot print a file if you have not saved it (as to be printed).
If a dotpup or dotpet were made for gtklp, it should probably include setting gtklp in the send-to or open-with directories, so the user could print a file directly from a file manager and adjust the settings before printing. A menu item would be good, too.
I am not actually asking for the dotpup/pet, now, but it is something to consider adding to the CUPS dotpup package.
I am not ready at this point to work an integrated solution to the text printing issues. But having gtklp available is a big help to anyone trying to manage text printing.
Thanks.
Richard
When tried installing as an alien pupget, the Pupget Manager popped up the following message.
It certainly provides a lot of control over CUPS, but I wonder if it might be too intimidating for Puppy, although it would be nice to have available.There was an error expanding package gtklp-1.2.2.tar.gz.
Either the file is corrupted, or has not expanded into its own directory with name of gtklp-1.2.2/ (which is how most packages expand).
You will have to go into /root/.packages/ directory and manually clean it up.
This script will now exit...

latest Wine whine
Hi, can somebody please clue me in on what version of Wine is available for Puppy Linux -- ie, as a dotpup or pet package? I've searched many forums and sites, but can't seem to find the right info.
I am using Puppy 2.14 with a frugal install. I have a an older Wine dotpup installed. But the newer Wine versions (9.34 and later) have some important bugfixes:
o FTP upload was breaking (short writes) with larger files
o menus were disappearing in MDI apps
This all fixed now in Wine.
If a pet package is available, can I use that in Puppy 2.14? Or do I need to upgrade to 2.16? How to upgrade a 2.14 frugal to 2.16?
Thanks.
UPDATE: I found this
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=17359
where Gekko has provided links to Wine 9.35 dotpet that he made and also a glibc-2.4 dotpet. I installed both and everything worked great!
PS It doesn't work at all (in my setup) without the glibc-2.4 upgrade.

How about a bluetooth GUI such as GNOME Bluetooth or Affix?
The core of GNOME Bluetooth is two packages: gnome-bluetooth, which provides desktop level support for Bluetooth devices, and libbtctl, which provides a GLib style library of application support for accessing Bluetooth under Linux.
http://live.gnome.org/GnomeBluetooth
Affix - The most powerful Bluetooth protocol stack for Linux. Affix offers support for wide range of Bluetooth devices of PCMCIA, USB and serial type. Includes powerful command line utilites, OBEX support, personal access point and SDP server.

dotpup for Gambas2
I would like dotpup of Gambas2: gambas.sourceforge.net. Is a god Visual basic programn language
Nice to have a .pup or .pet for qtstalker:
"Qtstalker is a user friendly Technical Analysis package for GNU/Linux (and hence other Unix-like systems). Similar to commercial wares such as Metastock, Supercharts and Tradestation. Keeps to a lean, simple design for speed, portability, and low resource usage. Because it uses a plugin model, Qtstalker can easily be extended."
http://qtstalker.sourceforge.net/
I've installed it on 2.16 by hand.

Hello,
Pehaps MagicPoint, if it's possible? http://member.wide.ad.jp/wg/mgp/
I've tryed a slackware package without success.
Not sure it could run with Puppy, but such a tool would be nice.
Thank you

It seems to work, althought I haven't tried it.
