=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Announcing a new release of signature, 0.12.
signature is a free open-source producer of dynamic signatures for
livening up your e-mail and news postings. It enables you to sign
your messages with a different sig every time.
signature allows you to define a signature template containing static
and placeholder text, the latter of which will be dynamically replaced
by the output of fortune(6) or any other program whenever a signature
is required.
As an alternative, you can also create your own quote file containing
your favourite tag lines.
User-visible changes from 0.11 to 0.12:
* signature no longer exits after a SIGPIPE from Pine
The software can be obtained from:
http://www.caliban.org/files/signature/signature-0.12.tar.gz
RPM format packages can be obtained from:
http://www.caliban.org/files/signature/signature-0.12.i386.rpm
http://www.caliban.org/files/signature/signature-0.12.src.rpm
The source code is available under the GPL 2.0 licence.

Date: Wed, 26 Apr 2000 21:49:03 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
PIKT, Problem Informant/Killer Tool, version 1.10.0pre3
HIGHLIGHTS: Added the #indent-#unindent preprocessor directives,
for automatic indentation of PIKT configurations. Rewrote much of
the script processing code in a more modular, readable, and maintain-
able fashion. Redid the array implementation, eventually making
possible AWK-style associative and multi-dimensional arrays. The
reimplementation also removes the 65535-element upper limit for one-
dimensional, numerically indexed arrays. Added the PIKT Source Code
OVERVIEW file (src/OVERVIEW). Made other code improvements.
PIKT, an innovative new paradigm for administering heterogeneous networked
workstations, is a multi-functional tool for monitoring systems, reporting
and fixing problems, and managing system configurations. PIKT is quickly
gathering potential as a serious security management system. PIKT comprises
an embedded scripting language with unique, labor-saving features; a
sophisticated script (and system config file) preprocessor, scheduler, and
installer; and other useful tools. PIKT is a category buster with many, many
different uses limited only by your ingenuity and imagination.
PIKT is distributed under the GNU General Public License. Available now
for GNU/Linux, AIX, FreeBSD, HP-UX, IRIX, OpenBSD, Solaris, and SunOS. For
more info, and complete source code, documentation, and data files, please
