Subject: Quotes 1.2-0 - stock quote retriever
Date: Tue, 19 Jan 1999 21:19:19 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
What is Quotes
- --------------
Quotes is a perl (5.x) script that will fetch up to 10 company stock quotes
and print the retrieved quotations. It is also capable of performing
foreign currency conversion (any-to-any) on any integer amount. Both the
stocks and the currencies are configurable
(among other parameters/options) with a resource file. It also works behind
a proxy/firewall. Only requires Perl 5.x.
As a bonus it fetches Linux headlines from Slashdot.org as well.
Changes
- -------
* Updated some of the content-provider decoders,
fixed the problem (update) of the recently broken Stock decoder.
* Added content-provider copyright notices in output.
* Fixed the problem with the Foreign Currency converter, it was
ignoring the to/from currencies and using USD/NLG instead.

MEETING NOTICE
==============
Central Ohio Linux Users Group
Wed., 27 Jan. 1999 18:00-20:00
Meeting Presentation
====================
The January Meeting will be held from 6-8pm on
the 27th at the Oracle facility in the Brewery district.
The presentation will be first, concerning Oracle on
the Linux platform. Both a corporate and a technical
representative will be present for a Q and A session, as
well.
.... As described in local mailing list traffic:
> Harry Kiefaber will be doing the presentation at the
> Oracle office downtown. He is planning on doing a
> demonstration of Oracle running on a linux box, Q&A,
> and chalk talk. From what I understand, he will have
> someone there to answer technical questions as well.
Such as we ever have a 'formal' business part of the
meeting, it will follow the presentation. The meeting
site is in the heart of the Columbus 'Brewery District'
and one has to suspect that the meeting may adjourn to a
nearby facility for consideration of non-virtual beer.
SPECIAL MEETING SITE:
=====================
<***> This month's meeting will be held at:
500 So. Front St, Suite 1100
Columbus, Ohio
Parking is always an issue in this neighborhood -- study
the 'fine print' for enforcement hours on meters in this
area -- they ticket long into the night ...
</***>
.... The group has met on the LAST Wednesday or LAST Saturday of a month,
depending on facility availabity, with common-sense relocation in the
holiday season.
The webpage always has a link to a map to the upcoming meeting site.
see: http://bopper.wcbe.org/~COLUG/html/meetings.html
Meeting Schedule
================
The NEXT meeting will be held WEDNESDAY, 24 February 1999 7:00-9:00 pm
.... Additionally, several of the group may travel together to
the Richmond IN area Jan 17 for a talk by ESR.

GNU window manager standard shortcut proposition version 1.6 final

0- Ideas
________
After the previous discussions, we agreed on :
- ----------------------------------------------
* we should use a standard set of shortcuts by default, for any window
manager
* however if some concepts or possibilities doesn't exist for some
window manager, its maintainer can freely choose between :
- adapting these recommandations to best follow his window manager
own
philosophy
- ignoring impossible shortcuts
* of course, this stardard set could be hand replaced by users if they
prefer
others shortcuts, although this goes against the goal of the proposal
itself...
* this set of shortcuts musn't conflict with any already exiting program,
or at least try to reach that goal
* this set of shortcuts should be easy to use and easy to remember
* to fulfill these two statements, we should use 2 key shortcuts or very
fewly used level 1 keys
* letters could be preferred in shortcuts since they are easy to remember,
provided that they will not conflict with applications shortcuts, and some
easyier and more standard shortcut doesn't exist (like modifier+tab
moves to next window or modifier+number or modifier+Fn moves to next desk)
* windows keys is an option enabled by default
* we shouldn't use level 3 sequences, too hard to remember, unless the
standard modifier is not available on some special or nonstandard keyboard
* we shouldn't alter right Alt key on american keyboards
* we shouldn't restrict users to one modifier key
* we shouldn't stardardize Copy/Paste but let that to applications
* Hyper or Super modifier which are free could be used
Definitions :
- -------------
* "Level 1" : needs only one key, ex : Pause
* "Level 2" : needs two keys, ex : Alt+Tab
* "Level 3" : needs three keys, ex : Ctrl+Alt+Del
Level 2 "Modifier" key :
- ------------------------
This key should be easylly accessible on most keyboards, very fewly used,
and
replacable by another modifier key (which is noted "==") if some unknown
program already used it.
Proposition :
Modifier could be Shift+Alt_L == Hyper == windows keys
Modifier key could be "demapped" with a sequence which would disable any
other
level 1 or level 2 sequences until it is pressed again, for exemple Modifier
+
Scroll lock could disable any other sequence until Modifier + Scroll lock is
pressed again.
Therefore if shortcuts cause a problem, any user could disable them
with modifier + Scroll lock or prefer level 3 shortcuts.
1- LEVEL 1 SEQUENCES
____________________
The following PC keys are very fewly used (no application I know uses
them), and should be used by the window manager for useful actions :
* Scroll lock : remapped to Break : lock focus to focused window
* Pause : start some kind of pause screen (or screen saver if it isn't
available)
* Print : "stick" focused window to current screen, or "tab to next
window"
2- LEVEL 2 SEQUENCES
____________________
Modifier key or any equivalent ("==") key must be pressed at the same time :
* Esc : open menu for focused window
* Tab : move to previous window in the same workspace or page, in a most
recently used window order (like icewm or kwm)
PC keys :
- ---------
* Print : iconify current window
* Scroll lock : remapped to Break : demap any other modifier sequence
* Pause : should be used to start a locked pause screen (or a locked screen
saver if it doesn't exist)
Arrow keys :
- ------------
If the window manager support paging :
* Left : move to left page in current workspace
* Right : move to right page in current workspace
* Up : move to upper page in current workspace
* Down : move to down page in current workspace
Else :
* Left : move to previous workspace
* Right : move to next workspace
* Up : raise focused window
* Down : lower focused window
Edit keys :
- -----------
* Home : move back to first page of first workspace
* End : move to first page of last workspace
* Page up : move to next workspace
* Page down : move to previous workspace
* Insert : raise window
* Delete : lower window
Fn :
- ----
* F1 : move to first workspace i.e. desktop
(...)
* F12 : move to 12th workspace i.e. desktop
Letters :
* t: toggle sticky flag (t=?)
* w: close window (w=?)
* i: iconify window
* b: maximize (bigger)
* r: shade/unshade (roll)
* h: hide/unhide
* l: window list
3- CONCLUSION
_____________
I tryied to respect any wishes submitted, and I think the following
proposition is a mix up of what we all proposed.
Please tell me if I forgot something or if you do not agree on something,
this is in no way final, it is only the second proposition.
Nobody will *have* to follow this standard, it just a set of rules we're
trying to agree on.
When we will agree, I guess each one will do his best to follow this
standard AND his wm own philosphy, but only impossible shortcuts should be
ignored.
Revelant shortcuts [actions which the window manager support] should be
mapped to standard sequence, i.e. : if you can't do something in your
window manager, don't use the shortcut ; else, use it according to the
standard, and your conscience if two choices are possible
4- APPENDIX : XMODMAP
_____________________
Here's an xmodmap file if you feel like trying these bindings : save the
following in a file, then run xmodmap this-file to test key bindings.
- - Alt_R is differs between european and american keyboards
- - Windows keys are mapped to "Hyper" modifier and Menu
- - PC keys are intact, except Scroll_lock which is mapped to break for wm use
- - Shift + Numlock can move the pointer (I don't use a mouse !!!)
**************************************************
! * Alt_L
keycode 64 = Alt_L
! * Alt_L + Hyper (shifted state)

Subject: uClinux-180199 - Linux for embedded systems (PDA's, appliances...)
Date: Tue, 19 Jan 1999 21:10:39 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
This is the announcement for uClinux-180199
What is it - Embedded systems Linux - PDA, appliances, controllers, toasters...
uClinux is a port of Linux 2.0 to machines without an MMU. Specifically,
Motorola 68k microcontrollers used in embedded control and PDA applications
such as the 3Com Palm device. A small 30 pin SIMM module with ethernet is
in development that will allow people to use uClinux in their own projects.
This is a major release. uClinux is considered stable and is useful for
production systems. The compiler, libraries and kernel are all stable.
Full networking (PPP, SLIP, httpd, telnetd and ping) is included. Frame
buffer device support with example code for the PalmPilot LCD is provided.
This is a call to embedded system developers and people interested in
running Free Software on a PDA to write userland apps for uClinux.
A set of replacement apps for the Palm PDA would be ideal.
The main uClinux page is at http://ryeham.ee.ryerson.ca/uClinux
A ROM image that will run in XCopilot-0.6.6 is available from there
so people can try it out without having to set up a build environment.
Happy Hacking, the uClinux team.
