=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
The SIMPL project (www.holoweb.net/~simpl) is dedicated to bringing a
simple Send/Receive/Reply messaging scheme (first popularized by OS's
such as QNX) to the Open Source Linux community.
A new v1.3.2 has been posted to the website.
The significant new enhancement with v1.3.2 is the extension of the
SIMPL paradigm to Tcl/Tk applets.
This is completely an open source project. The source is free to be
used as you see fit. We welcome any contributions or enhancements to
this code base.

Description:
A new Xbase compiler for Intel Linux distributions.
Max for Linux is inspired by such Xbase products as Clipper, FoxPro and
dBASE. It allows you to compile and run Xbase code on the Linux
platform.
In addition to classic character-based applications, Max also supports
web systems. Using a separate MaxWeb module on your Linux or NT web
server, you can access DBF files and generate HTML.
For those who absolutely must have it, Max will also be available for
Microsoft 32-bit operating systems.

9th issue of the "Brave GNU World", the
monthly GNU forum, is online now
-- Georg Greve
Hi !
The 9th issue of the "Brave GNU World" column is online
now. It can be found on the GNU Webpage and its mirrors
or follow the links at the end of this posting.
The "Brave GNU World" is a multilingual (English, German, French,
Japanese and Spanish) monthly column that provides information about
internal developments of the GNU Project and things of importance to
the GNU community, while trying to give insights into the underlying
philosophy. It is available online (see links below) or printed in
Germany´s biggest GNU/Linux magazine, the "Linux Magazin".
If you would like to receive mail about new issues directly, you can
subscribe to the "Brave GNU World" announcement mailinglist. Just
send mail to <brave-gnu-world-request@gnu.org> with "subscribe" in
the *body*. The mailinglist is only for announcements that are related
to the "Brave GNU World" and is of very low volume (between 1 and 4
mails a month).
The ninth issue covers the following topics:
* Linux-Lab Project ( using the reliability of GNU/Linux
for experiments and process control )
* GNU LilyPond ( typesetting music )
* GNU Texinfo ( documentation made easy )
* Mirrordir ( free replacement of ssh and more )
* GNUjdoc ( organizing translations into Japanese )
* Osprey ( ...the big suprprise .-) )
This column intends to provide a forum for all GNU maintainers,
friends and associates and I am always open to suggestions. So if
you
* have questions about the GNU Project that might be of general
interest
* have a GNU Project and would like to improve its profile
* would like to start a GNU Project you are looking for people to
start it with
* think something doesn't get the publicity it deserves
* would like to see something made public
send mail to:
"Brave GNU World <column@gnu.org>"
This column is for everyone with an interest in Free Software,
so don´t hesitate to contact me if your project is under the
GPL/LGPL and you´d like to see it introduced here.
The seventh issue can be found at

Reply-To: brama@stack.nl
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Hello,
I have released a new version of mp3blaster, version 2.0b12. Mp3blaster
is an interactive text-based program that plays mp3 audio files. It is
one of the very few mp3 players for the text console that allows full
interactive control during playback. Another important feature is the
ease with which one can create and store playlists grouped by albums.
Important recent changes are:
- -Playback over NAS (Network Audio System) added.
- -Playback of SID files (c64 music)
- -several bugfixes
- -compiles flawlessly on gcc-2.95.*
- -improved mp3->wav interface
You can download mp3blaster 2.0b12 from these places:
ftp://mud.stack.nl/pub/mp3blaster/
http://www.stack.nl/~brama/mp3blaster.html
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/apps/sound/players/ (soon after this post)
