innoextract broken/missing? alienbob package

I was trying to extract an old self-extracting EXE file to run some really boring stuff in wine when I discovered it would not run because it is linked with really old boost libs. (I couldn't just run the self-extractor because wine died with some strange error.)

Code:> file TomeRaider3_Win_3P11.exe

TomeRaider3_Win_3P11.exe: PE32 executable (GUI) Intel 80386, for MS Windows, InnoSetup self-extracting archive

Looking for boost in package list. Please wait... DONE

The list below shows all packages with name matching "boost".

[inst] alienbob : boost-compat-1.76-x86_64-1alien
[inst] slackware64 : boost-1.76.0-x86_64-1I think I installed it yesterday from Alien Bob's repo, but now I can't find (slackpkg search innoextract) it?! In any case, I was able to build innoextract from sboutils repo without a problem. I guess innoextract was deleted from the binary repo shortly after I installed it?

btw, the really boring windows stuff is TomeRaider, an old Palm e-reader database maker. Plucker and Avantgo were better but I still had some .tr files laying around and wanted convert them to the last version (3.x) to look at them on my Palm Pilot. Version 3 turned out to be a lot faster and have better fonts than version 2.x, so it was worth the trouble of converting.latest?d=yIl2AUoC8zA latest?i=mAvZOfns5Ws:slP4CkkKbc4:F7zBnMy latest?i=mAvZOfns5Ws:slP4CkkKbc4:V_sGLiP latest?d=qj6IDK7rITs latest?i=mAvZOfns5Ws:slP4CkkKbc4:gIN9vFwmAvZOfns5Ws
