Subject: Search Parameter Sharing Protocol (XSearch)
Date: Sun, 7 May 2000 20:24:18 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
A new protocol called the Search Parameter Sharing Protocol (XSearch) has
been developed for the X Window System to allow programs to share the
parameters associated with searching text. This provides an extension of
the standard ability of many text editors to allow the user to effortlessly
use text from one window as the search or replace string in another window.
With XSearch, a user can select text in one program and use a menu item to
save it as the search string, then select text in another program and save
it as the replace string, and finally go to a third program and perform the
search. This can be especially useful when bouncing between email messages
and source code.
The complete specification of the XSearch protocol is available at
http://www.newplanetsoftware.com/xsearch/
The current list of supporters is at

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
LUG-Camp 2000 das erste Treffen aller LUGs in diesem Jahrtausend
vom 2. - 4. Juni 2000 findet auf dem Karlshof im Nördlinger Ries ein
Treffen aller deutschsprachigen LUGs statt.
Dieses Treffen soll vor allem Spass machen und dem Kennenlernen der LUGs
untereinander dienen. Der malerisch gelegene ehemalige Gutshof der
Fürstenfamilie Wallerstein bietet sich für dieses Vorhaben geradezu an.
Das Haupthaus ist mit seiner geräumigen Tenne für Vorträge und Workshops
bestens geeignet. Neben diesem programmatischen Teil sind
selbstverständlich Contests mit hohem Spaßfaktor und diverse Lagerfeuer
fest eingeplant. Schließlich machen wir ein LUG-Camp und keinen keinen
Kongress :-)
Organisiert wird das LUG-Camp bisher von der LUG Augsburg und der LUG
Allgäu. Genauere Informationen zum genauen Ort, den geplanten Ablauf
und eine Möglichkeit zur Online-Anmeldung findet Ihr unter:
http://www.lug-camp.de
Alle, die zu diesem Camp etwas beitragen möchten, etwa einen Vortrag
halten, einen Workshop anbieten oder ein Projekt starten wollen, sind
dazu herzlich eingeladen. Gegebenenfalls freuen wir uns über eine kurze
mail an lug2000@lug-camp.de .
Das Linux-Magazin hat einen Athlon-Rechner ausgelobt, um das
innovativste Projekt zu unterstüzen. Damit ist dieses Camp wohl die
optimale Gelegenheit,
ein neues Projekt mit Riesenschritten anzugehen.
Es wird so schnell wohl keine vergleichbare Gelegenheit mehr geben, so
viele Linux-Freaks auf einmal zu treffen. Ganz bestimmt nicht in einer
so urigen Umgebung und in so lockerer Camp-Atmosphäre :-)
Wir freuen uns auf Euer Kommen
LUG Augsburg und LUG Allgäu

Reply-To: a.krennmair@aon.at
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Description:
fancylogin is one of the most powerful login programs available for Linux.
fancylogin can do everything your old login program can do, e.g. handling
shadowed passwd files, user-time-terminal/network-verification as done
in HP-UX login, etc. It adds a lot of capabilities for logging logins
and support for themes to control the login's look.
Changes from 0.99.6 to 0.99.6a:
several bug fixes including one great security bug (gid was always 0).
An update is strongly recommended!!
Download:
http://fancylogin.cjb.net/download.html
RPM- and Debian-packages are also available!

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
To all those who may have submitted a paper to ALS 2000!!!
I recently discovered that there may be some bug in either Netscape or
in Usenix's web submissions pages which may have caused your web
submissions to have gotten lost. Although the I and the Usenix
webmaster are still trying to figure out exactly why this might have
happened, there's been at least three case of paper submissions that
went awry.
Basically, if after you pressed the "submit" button, you immediately
received an empty form, then the web submission didn't take. If it did
work, you should have gotten a "Thank you" page.
If you think you submitted a paper to ALS2000, and you're not sure if
you saw the "Thank you" page, please get in touch with me immediately,
and tell me the paper's title, and for which track your paper was
submitted. I can double check to see if your paper made it into the
submission queue.
If you haven't submitted a paper to ALS 2000, it's not too late. Submit
it before the weekend, and we'll take a look at it!
For more information about ALS2000, and to get to the web submission
page, please see:

Thanks!!

Reply-To: alain@linux.lu
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
It is my pleasure to announce UDPCast, a file transfer tool that can
send data simultaneously to many destinations on a LAN. This can for
instance be used to install entire classrooms of PC's at once. The
advantage of UDPcast over using other methods (nfs, ftp, whatever) is
that UDPcast uses Ethernet's broadcast abilities: it won't take longer
to install 15 machines than it would to install 1.
UDPcast can be started from the included linuxrc bootdisk (see
homepage) for OS installations, or from the command line when using it
for other purposes.
For more information, see the UDPcast homepage:
http://udpcast.linux.lu/
Happy casting,
Alain

Subject: Free Java library and log server/browser available
Date: Sun, 7 May 2000 20:50:00 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Quality First Software (QFS) is pleased to announce the availability
of our free Java[TM] library qflib and the free log server qflog.
For the hasty: go straight to http://www.qfs.de
Quality First Software
======================
QFS is a small company based in Munich (Germany), dedicated to
improving quality in software development. To that end we are
developing a Java GUI test tool called qftest. While qftest is still
in the late development stage, we decided to release parts of our work
for free under an Open Source license, the Mozilla Public License.
The Java library qflib
======================
One of the key factors in the development of qftest is reusability of
its components. For that reason, many parts have been separated into a
library which has grown into a project of its own under the name
of qflib.
Packages include:
- elaborate logging system with tool support (qflog, see below)
- configuration management for user settings
- lots of GUI stuff, especially a JTable extension that supports
sorting and filtering with only a few lines of code
- a collection of miscellaneous utilities, e.g. a command line
parser, a thread pool, an extension to ResourceBundle and many
more
Apart from the source code, complete Javadoc API documentation is
available as well as introductory documentation and examples in
English and German.
qflib is compatible with JDK 1.1, 1.2 and above.
The qflib homepage is at
http://www.qfs.de/en/projects/qflib/index.html
The log server qflog
====================
Complementing the log package of qflib is the log server qflog, a tool
for browsing log messages with support for sorting, various kinds of
filters, incremental search and bookmarks.
Additionally qflog provides a graphical interface to control the
generation of log messages during the runtime of a program. To that
end qflog can either communicate with a program over RMI, or the
component for display and control of the messages can be integrated
directly into a program.
qflog too comes with full source code and API reference, plus a
complete manual in German. The English manual is not finished yet but
is expected to be ready in a week or two.
qflog is compatible with JDK 1.1, 1.2 and above.
To find out more, please visit

the Linux 2.3/2.4 kernel. This book in progress will be released
online for peer review and will be published by Macmillan Computer
Publishing under the Open Publishing License. Our intention is to
complement rather than compete with existing kernel documentation
projects.
The project website now sports a revised TOC which includes some of
the proposed 2.3.99 changes ... I'm not 100% happy with the placement
of some items, and there are other new services which didn't fit
anywhere (an example is exec-binary) but its a start; comments are
welcome. I have also updated the tools and contrib chapters (although
Bug-Reporting and Oops Tracing are not finished)
Also, I have generated HTML and downloadable PDF/PS files from Tim and
Alan's excellent new kernel-doc collection in Documentation/DocBook;
these are not part of the KernelBook project, but I figure there will
be plenty of people who won't know how to do the DocBook thing, and
this will give them something to read until we have some initial
chapters online. I also encourage all contributing authors and kernel
developers to look over the kernel-doc process and the examples which
Tim and Alan have created. This stuff is catagorically cool.
The homepage lists the URLs for the SourceForge project page and the
FTP site (where Dan Scherf and I will be collecting the packages which
will be bound for the CD). Contributors can sign up for access to the
CVS archive of DocBook sources on the project page, and there is also
an open public review mailing list, a forum, bug-tracking, a reader
survey and the usual SourceForge stuff.

Subject: bas 0.3 - BASIC interpreter
Date: Sun, 7 May 2000 20:58:29 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Bas is an interpreter for the programming language BASIC, written
in ANSI C for UNIX systems. It is meant to be compatible to typical
BASIC interpreters of the 1980s. For that reason, the syntax of the
language has not been changed, unlike many other UNIX BASIC interpreters.
It incorporates some features of BBC BASIC such as procedures, local
variables and better exception handling. The interpreter tokenises the
source and resolves references to variables and jump targets before
running the program. This compilation pass increases efficiency and
catches syntax and type errors.
Bas is not yet finished, but already mature enough to run various
programs. You can get it from:

Subject: LILO 21.4.3 update
Date: Sun, 7 May 2000 20:51:28 GMT
Reply-To: johninsd@hotmail.com
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
LILO version 21 by Werner Almesberger has been updated to support booting
from large capacity disks using a new 'lba32' option (-L new command line
switch). Dubbed version 21.4, the source code is available for download
from:
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/boot/lilo
Or from the developer's site:
ftp://sd.dynhost.com/pub/linux/lilo (developer's site)
ftp://brun.dyndns.org/pub/linux/lilo (an alias)
===========================================================================
The lilo-21.4.3 release adds the following:
1. RAID patches from http://www.elliott-turbo.com/lilo/lilo.raid1.also,
which go beyond the RedHat 6.2 patches in 21.4.2.
===========================================================================
The lilo-21.4.2 release fixes problems that have affected a few people:
1. The command line passed to the kernel was truncated at 78 characters if
the LARGE_EBDA (Extended BIOS Data Area) compile-time option was used.
(With today's big kernels, this was the default.)
2. If both 'linear' and 'compact' were specified, the second stage loader
would encounter disk I/O error 0x40.
Enhancements include:
3. The boot loader now understands octal. The kernel has always understood
octal, decimal, and hexadecimal, but prior boot loaders only supported the
last two.
4. All patches from the RedHat 6.2 distribution have been applied. This
includes the RAID support.
This version of LILO will boot from partitions beyond the 1024 cylinder
limit. To do this it requires a post-1998 BIOS with support for the EDD
packet call interface. Older systems may employ "soft" BIOS support for
these calls with hard disk boot software such as EZ-DRIVE(tm) or
MaxBlast(tm).
