Subject: TVision 0.7 - C++ application framework library
Date: Sun, 14 Feb 1999 10:52:16 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Turbo Vision (or TV, for short) is a library that provides an application
framework. With TV you can write a beautiful object-oriented character-mode
user interface in a short time.
TV is available in C++ and Pascal and is a product of Borland International.
It was developed to run on MS-DOS systems, but today it is available for many
other platforms (ported by independent programmers).
This port is based on the Borland 2.0 version with fixes.
Warning: the BSD-style copyright is applicable only to the modifications
brought by Sergio Sigala to the original code.
Happy hacking!

Subject: libungif & giflib 4.1.0 -- libraries to operate on gif images
Date: Sun, 14 Feb 1999 10:53:31 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
libungif-4.1.0 is a binary and API compatible replacement for giflib-4.1.0
that uses an uncompressed gif algorithm rather than the patented LZW
encoding normal for gif files. It is based upon Eric Raymond's giflib-3.0
release but has many bugfixes, an autoconf/automake/libtool build procedure
(for shared library generation on many platforms), and several new functions.
It is API compatible with giflib-3.0, but not binary compatible.
giflib-4.1.0 is based off the libungif tree, so it has all the fixes and
enhancements that have been incorporated into libungif-4.1, but it continues
to use giflib-3.0's encoding algorithm.

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
COMMERCIAL: 3-D accelerated BFRIS Zero Gravity Fighter Combat game
released
Aegis Simulation Technologies is proud to release BFRIS Zero Gravity
Fighter Combat.
BFRIS is a 3-D first-person vehicle combat game which is played in
enclosed arenas connected by teleports. The flight model incorporates
real physics down to friction, momentum, and inertia, providing a
complete energy state for combat. The commercial version of the game
includes six vehicles and 11 weapons/powerups, and comes
shrinkwrapped with Linux as well as Windows 95/98/NT binaries.
The TrueDimension engine used to create BFRIS was designed for network
play; the engine uses advanced predictive dynamics and supports
up to 63 players on a LAN or up to 24 on 28.8 modems in a single game.
BFRIS requires 3-D accelerated OpenGL (via GLX on Linux platforms;
BFRIS has been tested with 3Dfx Voodoo/Voodoo2/Voodoo Rush cards under
Linux); a three level playable demo is available for download from our
web pages.
For more information including news, downloads, a FAQ list, and
ordering information, please visit our web pages at
http://www.aegistech.com/
Come check it out!

ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/incoming/Linux/leafnode-1.9.tar.gz
Leafnode is a news server for small sites which is very easy to install
and maintain.
Leafnode-1.9 has the following improvements over 1.8.1 (for full blurb
see http://wpxx02.toxi.uni-wuerzburg.de/~krasel/ln.changes.html):
* lots of bugfixes everywhere (thanks to all the beta testers who kept me
busy :-)
* installation now via GNU autoconf
* new program applyfilter
* newsq now in C (newsq.pl is still distributed but not installed by default)
* fetch:
- new -P flag (post only)
- timeout_short, timeout_long and timeout_active are configurable
- create_all_headers is back (optional, switched off by default)
- maxbytes now really checks for bytes
- hopefully a little faster (not much yet, but I am working on it)
- filterfile now allows empty lines and comments
* nntpd:
- domain part of message id is now configurable
* texpire:
- groupexpire now understands glob(1) wildcards
Many thanks to all the users who provided hints, tips, bug reports, comments
and patches. If your patch is not present in this version, don't worry; I
have not forgotten it.

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
In the last few months, the traffic on the linux-kernel list
has been unbearably high, to the level of becoming a real
distraction in debugging the kernel.
In order to alleviate this problem and to give the 'off-topic
folks' their own home, 3 new mailing lists have been created:
- - [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Writing, proof-reading and discussing the kernel
documentation. This is also where newbies should
go if they can't find the documentation (not being
able to find documentation is, after all, a lack
of documentation).
- - [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Long-term OS design, feature drooling and generic
OS science fiction. Everyone is welcome to think
about the future of the Linux system (and the kernel
in particular). Discussions should only move to
linux-kernel as soon as we reach the debugging stage.
- - [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
GPL, BSD, Artistic, LGPL, MPL, QPL, PD, etc...
It's a jungle out there, a legal jungle. Make sure
you (and others) don't get lost in it. Help map out
the legal jungle or find out your own (in)abilities
and legal risks.
You can subscribe to any one of those lists by sending a message
to:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
with a message body of:
"subscribe <list>"
If you have any questions, feel free to write to me:

Subject: GNU Classpath 0.00 Java class libraries - First Development Release
Date: Sun, 14 Feb 1999 00:53:09 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
I am pleased to announce the first development release of GNU Classpath,
a project to create a free software replacement for Sun's proprietary
Java class libraries. The project is initially providing class library
support for the Japhar JVM.
Here are the answers to some questions you might have about this project
and this release.
1). Where can I get it?
GNU Classpath 0.00 can be downloaded from:
ftp://alpha.gnu.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/classpath-0.00.tar.gz
2). What is included?
The following java packages are supported:
-- java.beans
-- java.io
-- java.lang
-- java.lang.reflect
-- java.math
-- java.net
-- java.security (partial and non-functioning)
-- java.security.acl
-- java.security.interfaces
-- java.util
This is enough to run many non-awt programs. Not all classes and methods
are implemented in this release, but most are. The major missing piece
of core functionality is java.text. Many of the implemented classes are
already up to the Java 1.2 spec.
3). What is required to build/install/run?
GNU Classpath requires that Japhar 0.07 be installed. Information on
obtaining Japhar is available from http://www.japhar.org/. A working
C compiler is also required. You will need the Sun JDK installed if you
elect to recompile the Java classes.
4). What platforms are supported?
GNU/Linux is the only platform that has been tested. We plan to
eventually support many others.
5). Who should use this software?
This is a development release only. You should only install it if you
are interested in Classpath development or reporting bugs. We appreciate
both. You might also be interested if you enjoy installing random alpha
software.
6). Where do I go for more information?
The project has a web page at
http://www.classpath.org/
and
http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/classpath.html
Information on our mailing list is available at the web site.

Lars Wirzenius
loudly resents
a Linux Documentation Project
production
of the least selling book
by the same name
the Linux System Administrators' Guide 0.6.1
just when you thought your system was safe
starring Super User as Mr. Root
introducing Lasu as Luser
special effects by Don Knuth and Leslie Lamport
music by Crash and Burn
coming soon to an http://www.iki.fi/liw/linux/sag/ near you
Yes, it's that time of the year again, when Lasu thinks he's an
author! The new version features a conversion to DocBook (instead of
LaTeX), with lots of exciting formatting and spelling bugs for readers
to report, and Debian binary packages! Get your copy today, while the
supplies last! Two for the price of one! No system crash is complete
without the SAG!

Table of contents:
* Introduction
* Overview of a Linux System
* Overview of the Directory Tree
* Using Disks and Other Storage Media
* Allocating disk space
* Memory Management
* Boots And Shutdowns
* init
* Logging In And Out
* Managing user accounts
* Backups
* Keeping Time
* Measuring Holes
* Glossary (DRAFT)
* References
* Index
The files are:
sysadmin-guide-0.6.1.tar.gz source code
sysadmin-guide-0.6.1-html.tar.gz HTML
sysadmin-guide-0.6.1.ps.gz Postscript
Most people will probably only need to download the PS version.
It is all you need if you have a PS printer. (Beware, though: I haven't
tried printing this. Waste of dead trees to test anything.)
No text or DVI version is available, I do not have the time to produce
one. Don't ask me to. (I'll make one for 1.0.)
The SAG home page is still at <URL:http://www.iki.fi/liw/linux/sag/>.
All the files are there, soon even an unpacked, browsable version of
the HTML version.
As usual, feedback is more than welcome.
I plan to to call the next version 1.0. It'll follow the grand tradition
of version 1.0 being _almost_ useful, but still crashing your system. :)
