Maelstrom for Linux:
It's a port of the Macintosh game "Maelstrom" to Linux.
There was an obscure bug with storing the UNIX time in
a long instead of an unsigned long that broke Maelstrom for Linux
on Feb 1, 1996. Please check out the fixed new version at:
ftp://dandelion.ceres.ca.gov/pub/Linux/games/Maelstrom/
It is "Release 6"
The web page has been updated to reflect this:
http://www.ceres.ca.gov/~slouken/Maelstrom/
Enjoy!

Hello Everyone.
I am in the process of semi-automating the process of posting
the Linux Benchmarks. Thank you for your patience.
In the meantime, I have created a new directory with all the
pre-processed submissions (for those who can't wait :-).
I appreciate the excellent response and kind words that I receive
weekly about The Linux Benchmarks... and I apologize for getting
behind in posting, but we try, all-thing-considered.

or

Best Regards,
Tim

Subject: NTeX 2.0.0
Date: Sun, 04 Feb 96 23:51:26 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Hi folks!
This is to announce NTeX 2.0.0 which is available under
http://darfnix.mathematik.uni-stuttgart.de/pub/tex/ntex/
or directly by ftp as
ftp://darfnix.mathematik.uni-stuttgart.de/pub/tex/ntex/ntex/
since the 4th of February '96. It should soon be available on
sunsite.unc.edu and its mirrors in /pub/Linux/apps/tex/ntex and from
CTAN - ftp.dante.de (Germany), ftp.shsu.edu (Texas, USA),
ftp.tex.ac.uk (England) - in /tex-archive/systems/unix/linux/ntex.
NTeX is a very complete TeX distribution for Linux. The distribution
is grouped in package sets. For the basic installation you only need
the files in the ntex and the base subdirectory. For further details
about the packages read the file `INDEX' in the main directory. The
installation information and some hints are in `INSTALL'. And of
course you should have a look at `README.NTeX'. NTeX 2.0.0 is compiled
under ELF (libc 5.2.16) and should also run on other UNIX systems
(install as on Linux including the source packages and recompile, you
need the GNU tools, especially GNU tar for installation!). Some binary
archives will soon be on darfnix.mathematik.uni-stuttgart.de.
There is also a WWW page for NTeX providing information on patches,
updates, fixes, etc:
http://www.mathematik.uni-stuttgart.de:/mathB/lst3/langbein/ntex.html
There are still a few bugs left, read the file BUGS for details. Currently
I don't have the time to fix them. But I hope that this will change soon.
TeX is a software system that was originally written by Donald Knuth
to typeset texts. LaTeX is a set of macros for TeX written to simplify
typesetting with TeX. There are a lot of other macros and style files,
etc. which were designed for the same purpose. The NTeX distribution
also include Metafont, a program which allows the user to design
fonts. I tried to include a lot of macros and fonts into the NTeX
distribution which could be installed for your needs. Also the basic
configuration of TeX, etc. can be done with shell scripts and/or
during installation time. The purpose of NTeX is to provide a
distribution for TeX and the fronts, macros which could be easily
installed and configured.
NTeX consists of 6 package sets:
Base: TeX, MetaFont, gsftopk, XDvi, DviPS, DviLJ, BiBTeX, AUCTeX,
TeXInfo, MakeIndex, GloTeX, IdXTeX, XFig, TransFig, a few
additional tools, the formats Plain, LaTeX2e, AMSTeX, AMSLaTeX,
the CM and DC fonts, PostScript fonts
Extras: MetaPost, TeX--XeT, XLaTeX, XTem, XTeXShell, TiB, BibBview,
BibTool, the formats ETeX, PLFTeX, LaTeX2.09, MTeX, MusicTeX
and Xy-Pic and some extra macro packages
Languages: German, Greek, Hebrew, Icelandic, Polish, Russian, Swedish,
Turkish, Arabic, Indian, Thai, Vietnamese, Korean (NOT the
complete HLaTeX!), African (FC Fonts), Tamil, Telugu, Syriac,
Georgian, Osmanian, Bashkirian, Eiad, Shavian, Hieroglyphs,
Cherokee, Cypriote, Ogham, Runes, Futhorc, Klingon, Tengwar
and Ugaritic
Japanese: JTeX, JLaTeX2e, Wadalab fonts
Fonts: BBM, BBold, Blackletter, Brushscr, Calligra, CMB, CM Bright,
CM Fraktur, CM Old English, CM Typewriter, Cun, DoubleStroke,
Halftone, HGE, Logos, various mathematical symbol fonts, CM
Outlined, OCR, Pandora, CM Pica, Punk, APL, Barcodes, BBDing,
Capital Baseball, Dancer, Dingbat, Duerer, Elvish, Futhark,
GIS, Go, Goblin, Gothic, Hands, Karta, Knot, LA, LAMS, magical
and astrological symbols, Malvern, Phonetic, Ransom, Recycle,
Script, Sueterlin, TWCal, VA, Visible Speech and WNRI
Sources: All the sources for the binaries and for the LaTeX2e packages
For error reports, suggestions and comments contact me. I will try to
fix all the bugs. For details on bug reports, help requests and the
NTeX mailing list read the file `INSTALL' and `README.NTeX'.
