=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
word2x is one of a few programs that attempt to "decrypt" word binary
format and turn it into something readbale. word2x sometimes succeeds
in keeping the formating, so you might be preferable to the cometition
for some documents.
This is a mini-announement to say that word2x is now avaialable on
sourceforge. The stuff avialkable form sourceforge is
word2x much newer dveelopment version snapshot (with various
*big* warnings)
word2x-0.095 still the latest working version
src2class-pre-0.5-alpha Toilet-style roll code generator, as used
by word2x
apart from the later the licence is GPL. The later is GPL liberalised
(the bison licnnce, which says GPL except the otuput cna be licenced
any any terms you like, including arbitarily evil ones). All these
come with PGP signatures.
Sometime soon you should be able to get anonymous cvs access. Those
who use this should know the projects are
word2x word2x developmmnet version (snap1 is current)
wordx2x-zero word2x-0.00x versions. Interim fixes might appear withot a
release, simple translation table fixes for example.
src2class x src2class siurce code (requires bison).
Since my notes say this there is *no* synphathy for those that use
word2x and complain it is not a production version :-) The same
applies to those that complain that the development stuff just dumps
core when compiled with gcc 2.7.x (at least some versions), apparently
due to a gcc bugx).
The home page remains on word2x.alcom.co.uk and at least the stable
versions will reliably be the current release. You will not lose the
ability to download versions of word2x from there.
Oh, and there are a few mailing lists you might like to use (in
particular an announcements list, for me to tell you about exciting
new versions of word2x :-) No doubt the hot new releases will contain
the odd shinny new bug on more obscure paltforms. Minor bugs are
likely ot get fixed inly on CVS, major ones will accelerate a new
release.

Date: Thu, 25 May 2000 20:04:39 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
CoreLinux++ Reaches Major Milestone with Class Library release 0.4.22
General: CoreLinux++ (http://corelinux.sourceforge.net) is an initiative
to normalize methods and conventions for OOA/OOD/C++ development for
Linux, materialized in documentation, OO analysis and design models, and
a set of Open Source C++ class libraries (libcorelinux++ and
libcoreframework++) to support common patterns and exploit the C++
standards.
News: With this release we are proud to announce that Linux C++
developers now have a comprehensive C++ class library for building
robust applications that make use of the patterns described in the Gang
Of Four (Gamma et.al) Design Patterns book. Included with the
distribution are numerous examples that provide proof of concept for the
CoreLinux++ analysis, design and implementation process.
CoreLinux++ uses the LGPL license to minimize restrictions on
application use and extension.
Focus will now shift to the completion of the Linux particular service
abstractions (Threads, Semaphores, Signals, SharedMemory, and Module
loading). We are still looking for developers interested in contributing
to this Open Development and Open Source Software project.
Full details of the project can be viewed from our the home page at
http://corelinux.sourceforge.net where you can also download the source
and documentation.

Trustix is soon to release a new administration suite for Linux. XPloy
is an administration tool for Linux, with modules like Apache adminstration,
Samba administration and RPM management. And for this product we need
several beta-customers from all over the world.
Since we are setting up an office in San Francisco we could offer more
close support for the beta-customers in this area. But of course we would
appreciate beta-customers from all over the world. If you think this
sounds interesting, please contact me or Helge Stranden(helges@trustix.com)

Subject: FlightGear 0.7.3 flight simulator
Date: Thu, 25 May 2000 20:01:20 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
FlightGear version 0.7.3 is now available for download. Precompiled
binaries are available for the Win32 platform. There is also a new
base package that everyone will need to download as well. If you
build FlightGear-0.7.3 from source, you will need to download
SimGear-0.0.3 and install it first.
The FlightGear Flight Simulator project is a free, open-source,
multi-platform flight simulator development project. Source code
for the entire project is available and licensed under the GPL.
For more information, please visit the Flight Gear web page at:
http://www.flightgear.org
Version 0.7.3 contains a number of exiting new features. Quite a bit
of work has been done on the instrument panel. The magnetic compass
behaves like a real "wet" compass, the altimeter and VSI behave
realistically, and the nav radios are now operataional. Quite a bit
of work has been done on the flight model front as well. JSBsim
continues to progress nicely and now has a reconfigurable flight
control system. A group from UIUC has contributed an extension to the
LaRCsim flight model that allows you to fly several different aircraft
ranging from a Twin Otter to an F4 Phantom, to a Boeing 747.
Here is a more detailed list of changes.
* Added a radio stack 2 VOR/ILS and an ADF to the instrument panel.
You can change the frequencies by clicking on the knobs on the
instrument panels. You can now navigate with VOR/ADF/DME and fly
ILS approaches.
* Added a chronometer to the instrument panel.
* Added a "wet" compass to the top of the instrument panel.
* Compass, vsi, and altitute instruments and vacuum system are more
accurately modeled.
* Added a magnetic variation model.
* Added navaid database management and query code.
* Added magvar offset to VOR radials.
* Heading bug now display magnetic heading rather than true heading.
* Autopilot now has modes to track a VOR and GS.
* Added custom joystick client support so sim can be flown from a
remote joystick connected to another machine. This is in support of
some custom hardware located in the human factors research lab of the
university of minnesota.
* HUD controls are a bit different "h" toggles through day/night/off
modes and "H" cycles through brightness levels.
* Norman Vine contributed code to optionally do antialiased hud lines
on hardware that supports this. Norman also contributed additional
hud cleanups and updates.
* Updates to JSBsim flight dynamics code that includes a generic
reconfigurable flight control system, a initial state trimming routine,
support for wind and weather, support for flaps, independent trim control,
config files changes
* Updates to LaRCsim flight dynamcis code contributed by UIUC that
allows loading aircraft specifications at runtime from config files.
UIUC is using flightgear as a platform to do icing research. The UIUC
aircraft use the c172 gear model for now which causes some weirdness
on the ground for some of the larger aircraft.
* Flight model no longer has to be chosen at compile time.
* Separated ephemeris code from the actual sky rendering code and gave
this whole section a big overhaul. The moon should now consistantly
have the correct phase.
* Rebuilt the sky dome using ssg.
* Removed dependencies on mat3.h and friends (old srgp support lib)
* Airport lookups now done through gdbm (a light weight embedded database.)
* Converted ssgVTable's to ssgVtxTables which do proper memory
management and should facilitate use of compiled vertex arrays once
ssg add support for these.
* Overhauled autopilot internals, separated out the gui controls from
the actual autopilot code.
* Cygwin32 build fixes
* MSVC++ build fixes
* Mac build fixes

Subject: xtrs 4.1, a TRS-80 emulator for Unix and X
Date: Thu, 25 May 2000 20:07:10 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
You can now get xtrs version 4.1, a Radio Shack TRS-80 Model I/III/4/4P
emulator for Unix and the X Window System, from my TRS-80 Web page:
http://www.research.compaq.com/SRC/personal/Tim_Mann/trs80.html
Version 4.1 adds emulation of the Radio Shack hard disk controller hardware.
With this emulation, all drivers for the original hardware should work,
including the TRSDOS6/LS-DOS/LDOS drivers RSHARD (tested) and TRSHD (tested),
the Montezuma CP/M drivers (tested), drivers for other operating systems
(untested), and the Model 4P boot ROM (tested).
Hard disk images using the new emulation are interchangeable with other
emulators and with xtrs's old hard drive emulation. The old emulation
(an xtrs-specific driver just for TRSDOS6/LS-DOS/LDOS) still works, too.
Version 4.1 of xtrs also includes several bug fixes and minor improvements
in other areas; see the included ChangeLog log for details.
General xtrs blurb:
xtrs is a Radio Shack TRS-80 Model I/III/4/4P emulator for Unix and the
X Window System. It includes lower case, the real time clock, the Model
4 hi-res graphics option, mouse support, sound and music support (requires
OSS), cassette support, 5" and 8" floppy disk drives, and even hard disk
drives. Unlike many Model I emulators, xtrs supports double sided, double
density floppies, emulating both the Percom and Radio Shack Doubler. The
emulated floppy and hard disk file formats are compatible with the popular
MSDOS-based emulators by Jeff Vavasour, Matthew Reed, and David Keil,
and (if you choose a capable enough file format), all features of the
original TRS-80 floppy disk controller are emulated. Under Linux, physical
floppy disk drives are also supported. Physical cassettes can even be
read and written, with luck. The user interface is a bit spartan, but
it gets the job done.
