New government already hard at work (though, I'm not sure who for)

Government is not obligated to purchase Microsoft stuff. Microsoft will share its security experience with the government. ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

So in order to give a numeric constant in Octal whose decimal number is 11, you'd write: int isp=013; Shachar -- Shachar Shemesh Lingnu Open Source Consulting Ltd. http://www.lingnu.com ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

I do not care about index sizes, but I value very much a search tool, which would be tolerant to misspellings. The Web site at http://webglimpse.net/ has a link to partial Hebrew translation. They promise a free commercial license to people who translate at least 5 pages into an as-yet unsupported language. Is there any interest in an equivalent Free Software project? I also wonder whether it is possible to use plugins of existing search tools (such as Beagle) as front-ends for accessing non-text/plain documents.
