Subject: GtkBuffet - Collection of Gtk-based applications and libraries
Date: Sun, 14 Feb 1999 01:48:57 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
I'm glad to release a public announcement concerning the GtkBuffet.
This is a collection of Gtk-based applications and libraries which I
have set up a few months ago. Besides a mirror of Gtk, Gimp and
Gnome the GtkBuffet consists of user contributed programs and
libraries. Most of them were announced on Gtk or Gnome lists before.
Gtk is the Gimp Tool Kit and represents a modern and free graphical
widget set for X11. Its most famous use is the Gimp as well as Gnome.
This archive is intended to be a general repository for Gtk-based
software of various kinds. Its purpose is to provide a canonical
way to find software related to Gtk.
The regular archive is found at
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/X11/gtkbuffet/
or
ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/Linux/MIRROR.gtkbuffet/
You'll find the archive of Gtk-based applications in the directory
'apps' and the collection of additional libraries and widget sets in
the 'libs' directory.
The archive is currently maintained semi-automatically by Martin
Schulze <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and his Sentinel. If there are
packages missing (I'm sure there are), please drop me a line so I
can add them.
The original address for the entire archive is
ftp://ftp.infodrom.north.de/pub/unix/gtkbuffet/
I'd like some common sites to mirror the apps and libs directories
in order to provide the archive on some bigger sites with better
network connectivity.
Regards,
Joey

Reply-To: Peter Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
I am pleased to announce that Aegis 3.9 is now available.
Aegis is a transaction-based software configuration management
system. It provides a framework within which a team of developers
may work on many changes to a program independently, and Aegis
coordinates integrating these changes back into the master source
of the program, with as little disruption as possible.
You are invited to visit
http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~millerp/aegis.html
for a more complete description of what Aegis is, and access to
the download files.
For information about what new features are available in this
release, please see the README file available at the above site.

Peter Miller E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Subject: Arrow 1.0 - E-mail program for X
Date: Sun, 14 Feb 1999 00:12:31 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Arrow 1.0 is now available. A mailbox list window, and an address that both
support drag-and-drop were added. Save/append/print now from both message
list and message view windows. Insert text files into new messages. Added
default reply-to in preferences that reads the REPLYTO environment variable
if applicable. Custom reply strings can now be set. Various bugs were
fixed.
- ----------
Arrow is an elegant, powerful, graphical interface to electronic mail.
This is not just another single window mail reader. Instead, it displays
each mailbox and message in a separate window, thereby allowing one to
simultaneously open as many mailboxes and view and compose as many messages
as one wishes. This paradigm also allows one to drag-and-drop text between
messages and organize ones mail by dragging messages between mailboxes.
The binary and source distributions can be downloaded from:
http://www.cco.caltech.edu/~glenn/arrow/
- ----------
Description:
Arrow is a free e-mail program that was written to address the e-mail needs
of users migrating from Win95 and the Macintosh to Linux. It Currently
supports viewing, composing, and organizing of e-mail, including secure
e-mail via PGP and a spell checker.
More information about Arrow is available at:
http://www.cco.caltech.edu/~glenn/arrow/
To subscribe to the mailing list, send email to:

and include "subscribe arrow" in the body of the message.
License:
Arrow is free.

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
What is the Internet Junkbuster Proxy and what does it do for me?
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
The Internet Junkbuster Proxy TM is free privacy-enhancing software that can
be run on your PC or by your ISP or company. It blocks requests for URLs
(typically banner ads) that match its blockfile.
That means no more ads while surfing!
It also deletes unauthorized cookies and other unwanted identifying header
information that is exchanged between web servers and browsers.
What is the difference between my version and the original Junkbuster
(available at http://www.junkbuster.com/)? I have modified the Internet
Junkbuster slightly. While the original Junkbuster does not download the ad
and the browser displays a `broken' image instead, my own version will
replace the ad simply with an empty image. But you can configure this
easily.
Where Do I get it?
- ------------------
http://www.waldherr.org/junkbuster/
http://rufus.w3.org/linux/RPM/ByDate.html (soon)
http://ftpsearch.lycos.com/cgi-bin/search?query=junkbuster-2.0.2-2.*rpm&doit=Search&type=Regular+expression+search&hits=15&matches=&hitsprmatch=&limdom=&limpath=&f1=Count&f2=Mode&f3=Size&f4=Date&f5=Host&f6=Path&header=none&sort=none&trlen=20
Please use a mirror, if possible.
What is new in the RPM?
- -----------------------
http://www.waldherr.org/junkbuster/news.shtml
I would appreciate if people with SPARC, Alpha or other architectures would
contact me to build a RPM on their particular architecture. There will soon be
a package for Debian Systems.
Have fun,
Stefan.

Please apply the following correction to the announcement which appeared
earlier.
Note the correction in the "Instructions" section below :-
# cat /etc/passwd | grep postgres
Note: If you see a 'postgres' user, you may need to backup and clean
up the home directory ~postgres and delete the unix user 'postgres'
or rename the unix user 'postgres' to something like 'postgres2'.
Install must be "clean slate"
PostgreSQL Version 6.4.2 Release 2 RPMs are now available

Date: Sun, 14 Feb 1999 10:50:15 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
We offer a Finnish spell checker for Emacs. The
existing ispell command is based on a list of words.
For this reason, it is not possible to arrive at a
satisfactory spell checker for Finnish, since it is a
language with a rich inflectional system. Now, Lanser
Data Oy in Helsinki, Finland, has released its
morphological engine with a Finnish lexicon with an
installation code for emacs. This ispell replacement
can be used with the regular ispell commands. The
Lanser Speller code is distributed on a CD-rom, and a
single user license costs EUR 33,64 (FIM 200) +
pp. Please consult www.lanser.fi for further
information.
Tarjoamme suomenkielisen oikolukusanakirjan emacsiin.
Helsinkil�inen Lanser Data Oy on asentanut ohjelmansa
Lanser Speller toimimaan emacsin yhteydess�. T�t�
ispellin korvaavaa ohjelmaa voi k�ytt�� tavallisten
ispellin komentojen avulla. Lanser Spellerin saa
CD-romilla ja yhden k�ytt�j�n lisenssi maksaa EUR 33.64
(FIM 200) + postikulut. K�y katsomassa lis�tietoa
osoitteesta www.lanser.fi.

Subject: Announcing "M" mail user agent, Release 0.10a
Date: Sun, 14 Feb 1999 10:46:19 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
M is a cross-platform e-mail application. It is being developed
concurrently under X11/Unix and Windows platforms, supporting a wide
range of e-mail transfer protocols as well as including full MIME
support and can be scripted and extended thanks to a builtin Python
interpreter. M's wealth of features and ease of use make it one of the
most powerful mail user agents available, providing a consistent and
intuitive interface across all platforms. We believe that it is one of=20
the easiest to use mail clients currently available for Unix.
It aims at supporting GNOME (and KDE for that matter) and includes an
extendable address book system with support for other program's
address database formats. Currently M's native format and (X)Emacs'
BBDB address books are supported.
Platforms supported to date are: Linux-i586, Linux-alpha,
SunOS-Solaris, FreeBSD and MS-Windows.=20
M is an OpenSource projects, encouraging users to contribute to its
development.
The current release "Fountainbridge" is the second public release of
it and while still being dubbed "alpha", M has made the step to being
a useful tool. Based on this release and the input from users we hope
to create a continuous stream of stable releases.=20
Please visit the M homepage for more information and downloads:
http://www.phy.hw.ac.uk/~karsten/M/
M is being developed using the OpenSource corss-platform GUI class
library wxWindows:
