=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
We have posted the i386.rpm, src.rpm, and patches on our WWW site at
http://www.affinity-systems.ab.ca/software/ for ipchains-rhcn-1.3.9. These
should work on Red Hat 5.0, 5.1, and 5.2 but were compiled under Red Hat 5.2
and kernel 2.2.11.
Linux IP Firewalling Chains is an update to (and hopefully an
improvement upon) the normal Linux Firewalling code, for 2.0 and 2.1
kernels. It lets you do things like firewalls, IP masquerading, etc.

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
HI!
I would like to announce a new beta release of my package pyCA, a set of
scripts and CGI-BIN programs written in Python for setting up and
running a certificate authority using OpenSSL.
See
http://sites.inka.de/ms/python/pyca/
for more details.
I would like to ask for feedback of people using this package. Any hints
for improving this package are appreciated. I do not have the
possibility to test this software under other Unix environments than
Linux, OpenLDAP and ApacheSSL.
Changes since 0.5.4:
* Many bugfixes
* Small enhancements in user interface of CGI-BINs
Ciao, Michael.

Subject: Nc100em v1.1 (Amstrad NC100 emulator) uploaded
Date: Thu, 2 Sep 1999 19:05:05 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
[I (Russell Marks) don't have net access, but Steven has been kind
enough to upload/post on my behalf.]
Nc100em is an Amstrad NC100 emulator. There are four versions:
gnc100em - (for X) a GTK+-based version
snc100em - an svgalib version
tnc100em - a tty-based version
xnc100em - (for X) an Xlib-based version
The emulators can run both the ROM software and ZCN, my free CP/M-like
OS for the NC100. *The ROM is not included*, so if you want to use the
ROM stuff you'll have to transfer it yourself (nc100em comes with a
`romdump' program you can do this with). A public domain ROM is
supplied which is good enough to run ZCN.
Note that, in the light of the new GTK+-based version, which I'm much
more happy with than the kludgey old Xlib one, I'm very likely to drop
the Xlib-based variant in the next release. If you think this is a
terrible idea, and think I should keep it around for some reason, now
would be a good time to say so. :-)
Changes in version 1.1:
New GTK+-based version (gnc100em), supports runtime change of scale,
and has the NC100 screen in a scrollable window, so you can use a
scaled-up display without needing to accommodate such a wide window
as with xnc100em.
You can now set the default scale with `-S'. Only the GTK+ version
takes notice of this currently.
Added support for bitdepths other than 1-bit and 8-bit to xnc100em.
Thanks to Steven Flintham for pointing this out (bizarrely, I seemed
to have neglected to mention it in any docs). It's not as fast as it
could be, but it should at least work on all bitdepths.
Made xnc100em's display differential like the svgalib version, so it
only outputs lines which need to be output.
Added parallel printer support. If any printing takes place, the raw
output is dumped in ~/nc100/printout.dat, appending output onto the
end of the file if it already exists.
The stop-dead key is now F8 in all versions, with F10 now doing the
`nice' context-saving exit. (Using F5 for a context-saving exit
still works though.)
New `-m' option, causes modification of `colour' key messages in
(real) ROM (no effect when using builtin ROM), to make them more
understandable when using nc100em. For example, with `-m', nc100em
changes "YELLOW & RED" to "INSERT & LEFT".
xnc100em now supports `delete window' message from window manager -
it acts like F10 (doing a graceful context-saving exit).
Serial support is (apart from in tnc100em) no longer enabled by
default; you have to specifically choose to have it, with the `-s'
option. I think this makes a lot more sense than the old behaviour,
which in retrospect was pretty broken.
Fixed an embarrassing bug in xnc100em (inappropriate code left over
from xz80) which meant you couldn't use the left shift key to
uppercase alphabetic chars. What can I say, except possibly that I
use the right shift key... :-) Thanks to Steven Flintham for
pointing out this bug.
Fixed the old bug where xnc100em wasn't redrawing in some
circumstances.
Added support for left-win as `Function' in the svgalib version -
probably preferable to using Insert :-), but only works on a Win95
keyboard. Similarly, added support for Super/Hyper modifiers as
alternative ways of getting `Function' in the X versions - so on a
Win95 keyboard under XFree86, you can use the win or menu keys to
get it.
Renamed svgalib version (formerly `nc100em') to `snc100em'.
Here's the LSM entry:
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Begin3
Title: nc100em
Version: 1.1
Entered-date: 08JUL99
Description: Nc100em is an Amstrad NC100 emulator. There are
actually four versions:
gnc100em - (for X) a GTK+-based version
snc100em - an svgalib version
tnc100em - a tty-based version
xnc100em - (for X) an Xlib-based version
The emulators can run both the ROM software and ZCN,
my free CP/M-like OS for the NC100. *The ROM is not
included*, so if you want to use the ROM stuff you'll
have to transfer it yourself (nc100em comes with a
`romdump' program you can do this with). A public
domain ROM is supplied which is good enough to run ZCN.
Though I (rjm) wrote nc100em etc., I give Ian main author
credit as I used his Z80 emulation (from his excellent
`xz80' ZX Spectrum emulator), which is the most
difficult bit, not to mention being half the code. :-)
(Please don't contact Ian in relation to nc100em; I just
used his code, he wasn't otherwise involved. The email
address below is given only for completeness, and
might be out of date.)

Subject: aRts-0.3.3 - analog realtime synthesizer
Date: Thu, 2 Sep 1999 19:00:07 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
aRts 0.3.3 is released.
What is it?
- ------------
aRts is an analog realtime synthesizer which is completely modular. You can
create sounds & music (realtime midi synthesis) using small modules like
oscillators for creating waveforms, various filters, modules for playing
data on your speakers, mixers, faders,... You can build your complete setup
with the gui of the system under KDE.
The aRts server is controlled via CORBA. This design is intended to let
other applications use aRts as synthesizer (or filter provider) and
working together in the creation of music.
Requirements:
- -------------
mico, KDE
Changes since arts-0.3.2:
- -------------------------
- Support for compiling aRts into one single statically linked binary
- Code cleanups (warning free compilation, common files are now in the
common directory and build as convenience libraries)
- Gui_POTI requires one more arg for the initial value
- New gui objects: Gui_LABEL, Gui_MIXER, Gui_AUDIO_MANAGER
- Work on being able to be a "generic audio server" like esd and
kaudioserver ; artscat is implemented and some audiomanager CORBA/TCP
interface to aRts
- "Bug"fixes: FreeBSD compile fixes, publishing a structure twice with
different ports now works, possible setuid-permissions are dropped now,
removed one bug in freeStructure
- Work on changing string properties, which implies that you can use an
Synth_BUS_UPLINK now and relink the target dynamically, which is
required for instance for the "generic audio server stuff".
- Added Synth_STD_EQUALIZER which allows - in combination with the
Gui_MIXER really nice mixing desks.
- synth_server[.bin] has been renamed to artsserver[.bin]

Subject: WWW: Software-Building HOWTO update
Date: Thu, 2 Sep 1999 19:03:11 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
The version 1.91 update of the Software-Building HOWTO is now available.
Some bugs have been fixed and quite a bit of new material added.
This HOWTO is for all those wishing to avail themselves of the vast archives
of generic UNIX software packages available. Installation of a source package
originally written for XENIX 10 or 12 years back onto a modern Linux machine
is a somewhat chancy thing, but this HOWTO should help smooth the way.
The HOWTO contains loads of general guidelines and tips, a troubleshooting
section, and 5 detailed examples of difficult installations.
Find out why 'tarballs' are sometimes preferable to 'rpms', and why library
incompatibilities can sometimes derail an otherwise straightforward
installation.
