Subject: ncpfs-0.13.tgz on linux01.gwdg.de:/pub/ncpfs
Date: Wed, 31 Jan 96 18:52:57 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Hello, all!
I just put the latest release of ncpfs, the free NetWare client for Linux,
on linux01.gwdg.de:/pub/ncpfs. Besides file system access it provides
access to NetWare print queues as well.
The reason why I announce it again here is that 0.13 contains some
important bug fixes. So, if you're using an older version of ncpfs, please
get 0.13.
Users of linux kernel 1.3 should be aware that at least up to 1.3.59, there
is a subtle bug in the read routines. I sent a patch to Linus, but I got an
automatic reply that he's off for USA until early February.
Here's the lsm:
Begin3
Title: ncpfs
Version: 0.13
Entered-date: 28. January 1996
Description: With ncpfs you can mount volumes of your novell
server under Linux. You need kernel 1.2.x or
1.3.54 and above. ncpfs does NOT work with any 1.3.x
kernel below 1.3.54.
Keywords: filesystem kernel ncp novell netware

Reply-To: ken@syd.dit.csiro.au (Ken Yap)
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Etherboot is a package for boot PROM code that will allow a machine to
load a kernel through bootp, tftp and NFS.
The major new stuff since 1.0 are: 16-bit versions that will run on
CPUs < 386, bug fixes, and code cleanup.
Although the LSM says it's at Sunsite, I have been unable to upload the
file so far, the site's too busy. Therefore it's also at
ftp.syd.dit.csiro.au in pub/ken/etherboot-1.1.tar.gz for the time
being.
Begin3
Title: etherboot
Version: 1.1
Entered-date: 31Jan96
Description: Source for BOOT-Prom images; the code is based on the
FreeBSD network-bootloader and supports loading of
either FreeBSD or Linux (the Linux loader is optionally
compatible to netboot-nfs). WD/SMC, NE1000/NE2000, 3COM
3c503 and 3COM 3c509 are supported.
Keywords: booting, boot-rom, nfs, diskless

Alternate-site:
Original-site:
Platforms: An ELF-based GCC is required, EPROM burner recommended
(unless booting from DOS disk). If building the 16 bit
version, bcc from the Linux/16 or Linux/ELKS project is
required. See netboot-16/README.16 for a more detailed
description of netboot-16.
Copying-policy: Code by Markus Gutschke and Ken Yap are in the PUBLIC
DOMAIN; but part of the code that this package is based
on is BSD and other parts are GPL; read COPYING for

Subject: DOC++ version 1.02beta released
Date: Wed, 31 Jan 96 19:03:58 GMT
Reply-To: bzfwunde@ZIB-Berlin.DE
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Hi Net,
we would like to announce the second beta release of DOC++.
Thanks to all who gave us feedback and bug-reports !
We have changed the following:
Tue Jan 30 1996 ( release 1.02 (beta) ):
* added options -eo -ef -ep for controlling the LaTeX environment
* fixed internal bug causing assertation failiour on DOS machines
* constructors and destructors of baseclasses do no longer show
up in the HTML-list of inherited members.
* started a FAQ
* structs are now treated in the same way as classes
Mon Jan 29 1996 ( release 1.01 (beta) ):
* renamed doc++.sty -> docxx.sty
* renamed html-table of contents from classesHIER.html -> HIER.html
* introduced shortcuts:
"/// " or "/*/ " for @ManMemo:
and
"//* " or "/** " for @Doc:
* new command line option for short filenames (required for DOS).
* bugfixes:
* The & should no longer disapear in HTML.
* Declarations like
array<foo,bar> dummy; should work now.
* German umlauts like \"a are now converted to HTML.
DOC++ is a documentation system for C++ programs featuring generation
- HTML documentation
which allows one to browse through the classes using a standard
WWW reader such as netscape,
- LaTeX documentation
which provides you with a high quality hardcopy of your classes.
In addition
the LaTeX output allows to generate a TeX-documented source code
listing.
DOC++ follows the approach of maintaining one source code that contains
both, the C++ program itself along with the documentation in order to
prevent incompatibilities between the programm and its documentation.
Unlike other approaches such as WEB, however, sources documented with DOC++
are ready to be compiled without need of any preprocessing (like tangle).
Instead, DOC++ documentation is enclosed in standard C++ comments /* ... */
or // ... <new line>.
For more details, examples of the output and the tool itself have a look
at
http://www.ZIB-Berlin.DE/VisPar/doc++/doc++.html.
you can also get the package from
ftp://ftp.zib-berlin.de/pub/vispar/doc++/
For suggestions and bug reports (along with a minimal example generating
the error) contact
doc++@zib-berlin.de

Linux International will be having a booth (#2718) at Uniforum,
and needs volunteers to staff it. If you can smile, and like
to talk about Linux (regardless of how much you know), then
you are qualified.
The booth staffing will be Feb 14-16, 9am to 5pm, and you need not
volunteer for the whole time, a day, a couple of afternoons or
mornings would be fine.
In return, Linux International will provide you with free entrance
to see all the Vendor Exhibits, and also attend the Birds of A Feather
sessions. There will be a 3 hour Linux BOF one evening (won't know
for sure when till at the show)
Please write to shows@wgs.com, by Feb 7th, and volunteer if you
can participate.
If you are a vendor of software that runs on Linux, feel free to bring
your literature with you.
Thanks
