Subject: WWWdb - Access your Database over the net
Date: Tue, 30 Nov 1999 22:27:49 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
WHY I WROTE THIS TOOL?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- - Did you ever had the wish to change the data of your database-table in
a easy way?
- - Are you fed up with altering database-tables with UPDATE <table> ...-
Statements?
- - Did you dreamt of a Database-query-function available over the
intranet or the internet?
Then this tool is the right thing for you!
WHAT FOR IS THIS TOOL?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WWWdb allows you to access your database-tables with the
HTML-browser of your wish:
- - Netscape
- - lynx, w3m
- - KDE-Browser
- - and other browsers ...
You can create a configuration in a config-file, where the layout of
your table is described. The data is displayed in a HTML-table and you
can set different attributes (bold, italics, fonts, sizes,
justification, etc. ...)
With this file WWWdb generates dynamically HTML-pages, where you can
browse, insert, alter and delete your data. To give you more
flexibility you are able to write plugins in perl-subprocedures for
checking fields and doing many other things.
WHERE TO DOWNLOAD?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At http://linux.twc.de/WWWdb
Here you can also check this program, by running the online-demo and
contact us via our bugtracker.
Changes:
New features:
System:
Datatype-conversion between db and HTML-form
Session-id-handling
Log-files in own tmp-area
Own die-handlers
New Plugins: WWWdb_Pre|Post
New Plugin: PreCreateForm
One standard db-handle for all acesses
User-defined environment per session
Navigation-column
Background-images are possible
Exit-Button to jump to the main-application
Generate WWWdb-references with session-info
Debugging-enhancements (Stack, clear HTML-output)
Redirections are now possible
API:
SQLSelectList - Selects Data and returns a list
GetAttr - Get internal attributes of WWWdb
SQLDo - executes a SQL-Statement
Applications:
Login-Procedure with crypted passwords
Create a WWWdb-User
Set up a users environment
Help-Files
Have fun!

Subject: gfontview 0.3.1 - A Type 1 and TrueType font viewer
Date: Tue, 30 Nov 1999 22:14:11 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
gfontview is a font viewer for outline fonts (PostScript Type 1
and TrueType). It will display all fonts present in the chosen
directory in a list, with a preview of the font in the main
window.
You can get the latest version (0.3.1) from
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Foothills/1458
It is licensed under the GPL.
It also allows you to display a particular character or string
of a font in an own window, thus allowing a comparison between
several fonts with a particular string sample.
This character or string can be antialiased (smoothed).
The string can also consider the kerning pairs if available
in the AFM or TTF file.
The displayed character or string can be saved in GIF format.
A table with all glyphs in the font (for PostScript Type 1
fonts also several encodings) can also be created. A custom
encoding will be generated on the fly to allow you to see
all characters (also not encoded ones) in a Type 1 font.
Clicking on each glyph of the table will open a popup
window magnifying the glyph.
The magnifying factor depends on the mouse button clicked.
The font table can be saved as GIF file. Switching
features like antialiasing or hinting (for truetype) is
possible.
You can also print a sample of a font. The program generates
PostScript code with sample strings in several sizes,
which you can download to any PostScript printer or to
ghostscript.
In the case of TT fonts, the font is downloaded as Type42,
which means that if you use a Postscript printer, it must
be at least a Level 2 printer and also have Type42 support.
ghostscript understands the format beginning with version 5.10.
The program can also print a longer text in the selected font,
thus allowing you to get an impresion of how a text page looks
like in the selected font. A complete font table printout with
all glyphs is also possible.
Hope it is useful!

Changes since last release
Support for multichannel audio files and effect processing. Flexible
cut&paste feature. Completely rewritten interactive-mode that gives
you full access to ecasound functionality. Console-mode user interface
now uses GNU readline making it much more pleasant to use. MikMod
support allows you to use tracker modules as input sources. A couple of
new effects. Reimplemented signal handling and mp3 support. In most
situations, ecasound is now noticably faster. Last but not the least:
lots of new, up-to-date documentation.

Title: ecasound
Version: 1.6.7r7
Entered-date: 25NOV99
Description: Ecasound is a software package designed for multitrack
audio processing. It can be used for simple tasks like
audio playback, recording and format conversions, as
well as for multitrack effect processing, mixing,
recording and signal recycling. Ecasound supports a
wide range of audio inputs, outputs and effect
algorithms. Several open-source audio packages, like
for instance ALSA, OSS, mpg123, lame, libaudiofile and
MikMod, are directly supported. One of the advantages
of ecasound's chain-based design is that effects can easily
be combined both in series and in parallel. Oscillators
and MIDI-CCs can be used for controlling effect
parameters. Included user-interfaces are ecasound -
a versatile console mode interface, qtecasound -
a Qt-based X-interface and various command-line utils
suitable for batch processing.
Keywords: audio multimedia multitrack multichannel recording
