grab & adepto

grab is a very useful program by Drew Fahey . Installed and tested it on Ubuntu 8.04. It has several dependencies to deal with. To solve the problem:
apt-get install sharutils cryptcat libx11-dev libtsk-dev
sharutls is needed otherwise uudecode error will show up. cryptcat is also required for grab to function and libx11-dev will stop any complaints about problems re: gettimeofday(). It also would not work without libtsk-dev and several other dependencies connected to libtsk-dev. adepto is a replacement of grab and new version is coming next week together with the new release of Helix.
The modified grab.tar.gz can be downloaded from here or here. MD5 Hash for grab.tar.gz f569a458b35cf100284bb578fa3d3e74
