Re: Help me finish this c/8 search

I just finished 0206. This does not contain anything close to the long gutter partial. Luckily rowett has claimed the other one, and I trust them to have adequate computing power.

Re: Portable Golly for Linux (please test)

Various icons seem to be missing on the lefthand menu. Also it hanged on me when I tried to start a new pattern without saving (from the menu, in the state whose picture was taken below). Ordinarily, that would produce a dialog, whose icon is also missing.

Re: Portable Golly for Linux (please test)

Seems to work just fine on 64-bit Arch (Kernel 5.4.13).
The non-saved work icon is missing though.

p7 haul ( thunk ) recovers an oscillator in jslife.

Maybe not a new unix-supported p6 from a D8_4, but it certainly looks interesting:

Thanks, @gmc_nxtman!

Here's an updated version, also with three more conduits.
The former "RF48He" that was unusual was relocated and renamed "RF48Hf". The @simeks variant is now "RF48He".
