    You didn't look in the archive... did you? :-)

    You can install these like any other Slackware package.

    Use 'pkgtool' to install or remove these from your system.
    These can also be installed with 'installpkg <package_name.tgz>'.

    To make it very specific...
    Change to the directory where you downloaded the files.
    Then type the following commands

    installpkg ax25util.tgz
    installpkg xforms.tgz
    installpkg z8530drv.tgz

    xforms is only needed when you intend to use the soundmodem utils.
    z8530drv is only needed whenyou have a SCC card. z8530drv.tgz contains
    the sccutils for both kernel 2.0 and 2.2.

    73, Arno
