DESCRIPTION
This bundle installs the prerequisites for MiniVend as well as some modules that are not strictly necessary.
After installing this bundle, it is recommended that you quit the current
session and then run MiniVend's makecat program. That will give you the
benefit of line completion and history.
None of the bundled modules are really needed for MiniVend, but some functions require on them and you will be limited without them.
