Press Release
Proven Software, Inc. announces the creation of a new division for
Linux desktop accounting. Proven Software's single user accounting
packages for linux will be redesigned and marketed through
http://www.BestAcct.com .
HTTP://www.ProvenAcct.com , which has been home to Proven
Accounting desktop and multi-user accounting software, will become
the site for Proven CHOICE multi-user accounting packages.
The creation of separate divisions for "desktop" and multi-user
Enterprise products is a reaction to differing market forces and user
demands in the two product lines. This change will allow separate
development, support, and distribution paths reflecting the
requirements of the two distinct markets.
BestAcct will be dedicated to the needs of small organizations and
individuals with accounting products for the Linux desktop. The new
BestAcct products will be available from http://www.bestacct.com by
July 1, 2000.
Proven CHOICE Accounting will be dedicated to the needs of VAR's
and their client organizations with a multi-user requirements. The

Subject: noteedit can record directly from MIDI keyboard
Date: Sat, 24 Jun 2000 22:47:44 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Version 1.6.0 of the Qt-based note editor "noteedit" is now able to record the
music directly from MIDI keyboard. This is assisted by one of the MIDI event
filters offered by Pete Goodliffe's TSE3 library. This gives you the possibility
to deal with some dirty effects in human played files.
MusiXTeX, PMX and MUP users have so the possibility to create the score directly
from MIDI keyboard.
See: http://rnvs.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/~ja/noteedit/noteedit.html
New is also:
- muting staffs during replay
- export PMX
- determine pitch by means of a MIDI keyboard
Other properties:
* insertion/deletion/modification of notes, rests, dotted notes, slured
notes, clefs, time signatures and key signatures on different staffs;
* building chords;
* playing on /dev/sequencer (if correctly configured) whereby:
o giving each staff a different voice;
o giving each staff a different channel;
o highlighting the played notes;
o setting MIDI tempo;
* export MusiXTeX;
* export MIDI;
* import MIDI;
* read from MIDI keyboard
Planned
If there is enougth interest I plan to transform the program into a KDE
application.
Furthermore:
* More edit features: transpose
* More music elements: lyrics ...

Date: Sat, 24 Jun 2000 22:18:53 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
I am pleased to announce GQL for the first time in
comp.os.linux.announce.
GQL provides a generic way to access different SQL databases by
drivers. It is written in C++, but other interfaces are likely to be
supported in the future (Python is nearly ready). The interface is
modelled closely after JDBC (Java Database Connectivity).
The GQL homepage is http://gql.sourceforge.net.
Anybody interested in helping advance GQL, send me a mail (adress in
..sig).
Thanks
Andy

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Hi,
I've released pybliographer-1.0.3, available from:
http://www.gnome.org/pybliographer/download.html
Pybliographer is a tool for handling bibliographic databases. It provides an
homogeneous interface over several bibliographic formats (BibTeX, Refer,
Ovid, Medline), and powerful search capabilities. It can interact with LyX.
CHANGES:
* Reading of Windows BibTeX files (with CRLF)
* Fixed bugs in the Style files and in the style mechanism
* Adding a new field during edition doesn't discard previous changes
anymore.
* Fixed bug when cancelling a close action initiated from the
window manager
REQUIREMENTS
* a working gnome 1.0.x environment
* gnome-python >= 1.0.53
* python 1.5.x (probably 1.5.2)
Frédéric
