Subject: barracuda - a BibTeX database manager
Date: Fri, 15 Jan 1999 00:06:52 GMT

Announcing
barracuda - a BibTeX database manager
Now maintained by Roland Krause.
Dear Friends, I would like to announce the revival of the barracuda
project.
Barracuda is a BibTeX database manager. BibTeX is a program that
looks up citation references in a database and then writes them to a
file that is used by TeX/LaTeX. Barracuda is used to edit BibTeX
database files. It is mostly self explanatory and easy to use but
comes with relatively complete HTML documentation. Barracuda was
written as a examination for the course 'Programutvecklingsprojekt'
at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Stockholm. It was placed
under the GPL and since the original authors are no longer able to
maintain barracuda the project is now maintained by me
in the hope, that a few others may join the effort.
I have asked the original authors permission and started with
setting up a webpage which is hosted by the friendly guys at
linuxbox.com. The barracuda homepage can be found at:
http://barracuda.linuxbox.com/
The webpage contains the latest stable release barracuda-1.0.tgz as
a few hints for compiling and running barracuda. I will also make
development snapshots available from there. Maybe binaries later,
we'll see how high interest is.
While barracuda is already a very functional code, it was no longer
actively maintained and therefore it was time to step up and get the
ball rolling again. This is what I see mainly as my task. I would
like to encourage everybody who is interested in barracuda to help
with coding, discussions, testing, documentation, and whatever
comes to your mind. Please feel free to contact me.
Regards
Roland Krause

Subject: LOCAL: Linux presense at March Springfield IL trade show
Date: Fri, 15 Jan 1999 00:18:24 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
The 1999 Springfield Computerfest is March 13 at the Illinois State
Fairgrounds. Computerfest is an annual event organized by a
not-for-profit group made up of representatives from the various
computer users groups of Springfield, Illinois. Among those groups
this year are the Linux Users of Central Illinois (www.luci.org) and
the Springfield Perl Mongers (springfield.pm.org), as well as the
local Unix users group.
Obviously, we want to have as much at the show to interest Linux and
Unix users as possible. One of our speakers this year is Peter Salus,
who you might remember from last year's Atlanta Linux Showcase dinner.
Of course, all of the local users groups will have booths, plus the
Southern Illinois Linux Users Group is planning to have a booth. We'll
announce everything of interest to Linux users when we get a bit
closer to the date of the show.
We'd like to get even more involvement from the Linux community. All
Linux (or related) users groups are invited to have a booth at the
show. (Note that there is a small fee for non-affiliated users
groups.)
We'd also like to see all vendors participate, either with a booth,
advertising, or student scholarship sponsorships.
For more information, see the Computerfest web site at
http://www.springfieldcomputers.org/
or contact Kara Pritchard at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
or (217)698-1694.
Just one more step on the road to World Domination... ;-)

Subject: Pidentd v3.0.1 - ident daemon
Date: Fri, 15 Jan 1999 00:21:36 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
This message is to announce the availability of Pidentd 3.0.1.
Pidentd is a daemon implementing the IDENT (RFC1413) protocol.
It is free software.
Pidentd can be downloaded from:
ftp://ftp.lysator.liu.se/pub/ident/servers/pidentd-3.0.1.tar.gz
and soon from any of the mirror sites.
Features (compared to Pidentd v2):
Uses a "configure" script for easier configuration
and building.
Uses multithreading where available (supports Pthreads,
Solaris/Unixware thread and DCE threads).
Doesn't run as root after it has opened the kernel
devices.
Has a configuration file ("identd.conf")
Can be started by SysV init daemons from /etc/inittab.
Does some sanity checks to make sure it runs on a
correct OS version (for systems where this matters).
Automatically tries to autodetect how it was invoked,
removing the need to specify it in the command line.
And most of the code has been completely rewritten
(compared to version 2).
Misfeatures:
Does not support as many Unixes as version 2.
Compile line options is not compatible.
It should compile and run on atleast the following systems (tested
by me):
SunOS 5.4 - 5.7
SunOS 4.1.3 (but without multithreading)
IRIX 6.2 & 6.5 (it should work on any IRIX from 4.0 and up)
DigitalUnix 4.0D
HP-UX 9.0 & 10.20
Ultrix 4.5
IBM AIX 4.2
Linux
There is some support for other Unixes too, but not tested by me so...

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
HotWire EasyFAX bug fix!
We've fixed a bug in the text conversion engine that causes it to
fail sending ascii pages, attachments or faxes in the QuickFax
window pane.
Please download a small binary (4k) at ftp.product.com/edw/atops.
This will fix the problem. You must install the new binary on top
of the old binary in /usr/local/hotwire/bin.
Alternatively, you could download it off the web site
at http://www.unisrc.com/freeversions.htm. Its the last item on
that page. You will need to unzip it "gunzip atops.gz" and copy it on
top of /usr/local/hotwire/bin/atops. You will need to be superuser
to do this.
Our apologies for the snafu.
HotWire EasyFAX maintenance team.

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
For Immediate Release: 01/06/99
Cool Screen Products (http://www.coolscreen.com/) is a new company
founded to sell silk screened items promoting GNU/Linux and Free/Open
Software. The purpose of the company is to raise funds to build a
Beowulf class clustered supercomputer for the research and development
of non-scientific cluster applications, such as game engines and 3D
rendering engines.
Cool Screen also reserves one dollar from the sale of each item for
dispersal to Non-Profit organizations in the Free/Open Software
community. Although the web site is still under development, Cool Screen
is actively taking orders at this time.
Cool Screen Products already has an email gateway programmed by Zanshin
(http://www.planetquake.com/gldojo/) which will allow Quake/Quake2 level
designers to email their maps to the cluster to be compiled. This
application will be the first application loaded on the Cool Screen "Rat
Pack" Beowulf cluster. Our next application will be a similar email
gateway that will allow artists to email 3D scenes to the cluster for
rendering.
Cool Screen will be actively working to develop a "Resource Allocation
Daemon" (RAD) to control cluster resources. Cool Screen feels that the
RAD will be the most important project that we will undertake in the
immediate future.
