=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
We are very pleased to announce the immediate availability of
Linux-Mandrake 7.1 (Helium).
Linux-Mandrake 7.1 continues to build-on and refine the many
innovations first introduced in version 7.0 and adds many new features
certain to please both beginners and experts alike.
The Linux-Mandrake 7.1 GPL archive now spans one or two Cd-Roms to
bring you the best and most up-to-date applications available.
The 7.1 highlights include: support for multiple Cd-Roms at
installation time, a new journalized filesystem, a highly tuned Apache
web server and a web-based configuration tool that allows remote
configuration of a Linux-Mandrake system through a network.
"Linux-Mandrake 7.1 is our latest offering which provides a complete
and powerful operating system ideal for most needs - from the home
user to the demands of an enterprise with high-performance servers,
and all at low cost. With the ergonomic improvements and server
solutions provided with this release, Linux-Linux-Mandrake 7.1 has a
great chance of becoming the new Linux standard for both enterprise
and home use." declared Jacques Le Marois, President of MandrakeSoft.
Linux-Mandrake 7.1 is now available for download from many locations
throughout the Internet. The boxed version, including commercial
applications, printed manuals and support will be available in retail
outlets at the end of June, 2000.
Here's a sampling of some of the most noteworthy benefits:
- - Linux-Mandrake 7.1 introduces a new menuing system. Applications now
appear in the same categories under all graphical environments and
update automatically as new packages are installed or removed.
- - Linux-Mandrake 7.1 offers the new Reiser journalized file system as
an option within the new DrakX graphical installer and after
installation with DiskDrake, the graphical hard drive partitioning
application.
- - A highly customized version of Webmin is included. Webmin uses the
familiar interface of a web browser to easily setup user accounts,
configure Apache, DNS, FTP, view system statistics and most other
system/server tasks. Webmin can be used remotely from another PC and
even from other operating systems simply by using a web browser.
- - Apache 1.3.12 is enhanced with the latest high-performance offerings
from the "Accelerating Apache Project" and provides out-of-the-box
support for Php3, Perl and Ssl extensions.
- - Cutting-edge XFree 4.0 servers with new modular architecture is
available in the "Expert" installation class, XFree 3.3.3.1 is
standard for other classes.
- - The Grub user-friendly bootloader is now provided as default. Lilo
is an optional bootloader in an "Expert" install. Both Grub and Lilo
now overcome the 1024-limit.
- - Helix Code Gnome improvements are incorporated into the
Linux-Mandrake 7.1 Gnome-Sawfish desktop environment.
- - DrakFont is our new open-source font manager for Linux-Mandrake 7.1.
This utility provides an easy and convenient way to manage fonts on a
Linux system. DrakFont can add, remove and even retrieve Ms-Windows
fonts (if located on the same machine) and make these fonts available
to Linux applications.
- - Kernel 2.2.15 with Linux-Mandrake extensions (secure kernel,
supermount option).
- - Ata 66 (Udma 66) is supported for users seeking the
highest-performance from Ide hard drives.
- - i810-based mainboards are now supported in Linux-Mandrake 7.1.
- - Enhanced USB support for modems, printers, Zip drives, keyboards and
mice.
- - "Wheel" mice are fully functional within most applications
(Netscape, Gnome, Kde, many others).
Linux-Mandrake 7.1 continues to provide features that aren't available
in any other Linux distributions such as Supermount (transparent
access to removable media), LSec (Linux security levels),
multi-language support and processor optimizations. Try Linux-Mandrake
7.1 today and see for yourself why Linux-Mandrake is becoming the
preferred choice for both new and advanced users alike.

Subject: PB and PG v.1.5 - programs for communicating with Microsat satellites
Date: Thu, 8 Jun 2000 19:24:47 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
I have uploaded version 1.5 of PB and PG for Linux to Metalab.unc.edu.
The file name is pbpg-1.5.tar.gz. I have placed the file and the accompanying
lsm-file in /pub/Incoming/linux. The target directory is
/pub/linux/apps/ham.
The file may also be downloaded from
ftp://ftp.amsat.org/amsat/software/Linux/pbpg-1.5.tar.gz.
The updated documentation is found in the file named README.
This is a patch release:
- - Sometimes PB would send requests for directory fills when it was not
needed. This has been fixed. It was due to erroneous handling of
fragmented broadcast directory entries.
The lsm reads as follows:
Begin3
Title: PB and PG for Linux

Subject: qflib 0.96.0 - free Java library
Date: Thu, 8 Jun 2000 19:35:47 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Quality First Software announces the new release of our free Java
library qflib available from
http://www.qfs.de/en/projects/qflib/index.html
Version 0.96.0 fixes a few bugs and adds some new features.
New features:
=============
- - The classes InputStreamAdapter, CountingInputStream,
CountEvent and CountListener have been added to the util package to
get access to the number of bytes read from an InputStream during
parsing. The gui.StatusLine class takes advantage of this to provide a
progress bar.
- - util.DynamicClassLoader has a new convenience method to create
objects with a constructor that needs arguments.
- - gui.EventNames now supports reverse mapping from event names to ids
and gui.SwingUtil has a new convenience method to center a window on
the screen.
Bugs fixed:
===========
- - There were two bugs in the util.Visitor class that could cause
method caching to fail.
- - The layout of an option.OptionDialog has been fixed, so the
contained option.OptionGroup will now resize properly.
- - A bad string compare option.SimpleOptionEdit.checkValue() has been
fixed.
What is qflib?
==============
One of the key factors in the development of our products is the
reusability of their 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
- 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.
