Multilib packages for Slackware 14
I have made a copy of the multilib packages which I had for slackware-current. I named the new directory “14.0” so that it is clear to users of a 64-bit Slackware 14 system which files they need.
Instructions for multilib installation and upgrade can be found in the Slackware Documentation Project.

From the ChangeLog.txt:

Thu Sep 20 23:00:09 UTC 2012current/compat32-tools-3.0-noarch-1alien.tgz: The massconvert32.sh will now prefer packages from the patches directory.
The convertpkg-compat32 script adds a ‘compat32′ tag to the converted package by default. This makes it possible to add the following line to the slackpkg blacklist:
[0-9]+compat32

Thanks again, Eric! Multilib packages for 14.0 already installed on one server and two desktops in my office. Used right now for 32-bit-only Brother printer drivers on the server and VirtualBox on the desktop.
