Subject: Cyrus SML ACAP 0.3 released
Date: Sat, 4 Mar 2000 13:05:01 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Hi,
I'm pleased to announce that the Cyrus SML ACAP server, version 0.3,
has just been released. Both source and precompiled binaries for
Sparc Solaris and x86 Linux have been provided.
ACAP, the Application Configuration Access Protocol, is a generic
standards-track method for storing remote preferences to allow for
client roaming and disconnection. It is the follow-on to IMSP, the
Inter Mail Support Protocol. The Cyrus SML ACAP server is a
full-featured ACAP server partially written in SML, a strongly typed,
high level language.
Version 0.3 fixed some bugs and gives new configuration and build
scripts that should make it easier to compile the ACAP server from
scratch.
Download it at:
ftp://ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/pub/cyrus-mail/cyrus-sml-acapd-0.3.tar.gz
Binaries available in:
ftp://ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/pub/cyrus-mail/

Subject: LILO update to version 21 (new rev 3) to boot above 1024 cylinders
Date: Sat, 4 Mar 2000 13:06:21 GMT
Reply-To: johninsd9@hotmail.com
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Source code for revision 3 of Werner Almesberger's LILO version 21 is
available from:
ftp://sd.dynhost.com/pub/linux/lilo
This revision adds a global option, 'lba32', to enable bootind disks
beyond the 1024 cylinder limit. The command line switch '-L'
accomplishes the same result. To be effective, the BIOS must support
the EDD packet call interface (post 1998).
The package, available as 'lilo-21-3.tar.gz' includes source code, man
pages, and updates to all pertinent documentation. This code has been
in beta release since 11/99 under the name "LILO version 22". Werner
asked me to change the designation to indicate that it is derived from
his version 21, as his version 22 will be a major update.

Subject: Announcing xboard and WinBoard 4.0.6
Date: Sat, 4 Mar 2000 13:09:29 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
** Announcing the release of XBoard and WinBoard, version 4.0.6 **
A new release of both XBoard and WinBoard is now available. Version
4.0.6 is a bug-fix release, including over 20 fixes to various small
bugs and a couple of very minor new features. See the ChangeLog in
the distribution for a complete list.
You can get both programs from my Chess page on the World Wide Web.
In addition, they should soon be available from GNU FTP sites.
- - http://www.research.compaq.com/SRC/personal/Tim_Mann/chess.html
- - ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/xboard/
- - ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/winboard/
XBoard is a graphical chessboard for the X Window System that can
serve as a user interface for GNU Chess, Crafty, and other chess
engines, for the Internet Chess Servers, and for electronic mail
correspondence chess. XBoard can also be used by itself. It can read
and write game files in PGN (portable game notation).
WinBoard is a similar program for Microsoft Windows 95/98 and Windows
NT. It includes all the major features of XBoard except email
correspondence chess. Warning: WinBoard does not work on Windows 3.1
or 3.11, not even with Win32s. It should work on Windows 2000, but I
have not tested it there.
Please report any apparent new bugs to me. Some known bugs and
deficiencies in previous versions have not been addressed. It is not
necessary to report your favorite bug again if you have reported it
before, unless the ChangeLog erroneously says it has been fixed. Most
known bugs, deficiencies, and suggestions received are now listed in
the ToDo file.
