There will be a meeting of the Central NH Linux User's Group,

105 Pleasant is State Office Park South, Main building,
the big brick building at the top of the hill.
The topic is: Linux firewalls. It will be a discussion of what
firewalls can, and can't do, and where to place them.
As usual, there will be giveaways, and time to
ask Linux newbie questions.

Date: Thu, 10 Aug 2000 19:15:46 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Hi,
to make reports about Linux on different laptops a little easier, I
have written 'lanoche'. Now the first public BETA release is out.
'lanoche' - generates a hardware report about laptop specific
features in HTML. The programm should fit on smaller systems,
for instance a "One Floppy Linux". Therefore no Perl or other
sophisticated programming methods are used.
Latest version at http://home.snafu.de/wehe/software.html

Title: SPIN_py - SGML Parser Integration (Python)
Version: 0.2.3
Entered-date: 2000-08-06
Description: SGML Parser Integration - loadable Python module.
SP is _the_ SGML Parser, and spin_py.so takes events
from SP's generic API, adjusts them slightly and delivers
them to your Python script. OK with Apache/mod_python.
It also provides a few C-Python types which are very useful
when building SGML/HTML/XML trees (elem_info, elem_obj).
This release includes a standard libsp16.so (binary)
otherwise its 100K not 1MB. To compile from source
you may need SP-1.3.4 from http://www.jclark.com/
Keywords: SGML HTML XML SP Parser Python Apache mod_python
Author: gps @ trix.dircon.co.uk (Graham Swallow)
Primary-site: http://www.trix.dircon.co.uk/SPIN/
Alternate-site: metalab.unc.edu /pub/Linux/apps/www/
1026522 SPIN_py-0806.tgz
Platforms: libc.so.6, gcc-2.95, Linux, Solaris, NOT-HP-UX-YET,
Copying-policy: LGPL
End
Bugs noticed so far:
pcre fails with 'mad' results, or works, or faults, or says:
pcre.error: ('unmatched parentheses', 40)
pcre.error: ('\\ at end of pattern', 4425)
Probably due to cross-talk between Python's pcre and php's pcre
SPIN doesnt use import re so its not a problem ;-)
halt() doesn't, I moved the function and now dropped the
parameter, but didn't update spin_eh.py self.top.halt(placebo)
You should also call it in DtdStart if path=="--MISSING--"
since SP without a DTD is just a puddle of errors.

The sysstat utilities are a collection of performance monitoring tools

Subject: KOF91 2D fighting engine for Linux
Date: Thu, 10 Aug 2000 19:21:05 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
KOF91 for Linux
KOFLinux is a port of the popular Windows's 2D fighting engine KOF91.
With this engine you can easily add new characters to play, there are tons
of them on the net. You can change anything: backgrounds, music, screens,
etc, why not even make your own game?
The project is GPL for the Linux version. The Windows version will not
longer be updated. And the guy who tooks the old project made a lot of
cool enhancements but the NeoKOF91 Team will not made the enhancements
open source. Thats the reason im looking for developers to make KOF91 for
Linux the best engine available, without break compatibility with the
KOF91 Stuff (characters, backgrounds.)
The homepage is at: www2.netexplora.com/koflinux
You need Allegro and XAudio installed (see the help section in the site)
If you download the source you also need the datafiles from the windows
version: http://moah.online.fr/kof91
If you Download the rpm, it includes one character and some
backgrounds. is a beta build, so don't expect it to be stable.
All install to /usr/local/kof91 you must run ./kof91 from the directory
itself.
Please go to the site, see the screenshots and help me to develop this
project and make kick ass features.

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
The Crystal Coast Linux Users Group is forming. The closest LUG in our
area is in New Bern and meets at the Books-A-Million there. That distance
may pose as a possible hinderance to some who may want to attend a LUG
meeting that is closer to home, such as myself.
Anyone who is interested in attending or even organizing, please contact
me via email. I am anticipating having an initial meeting the first week
in September.
