=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Hi,
Gnomoku 1.0 is available at
http://cactus.rulez.org/projects/gnomoku/download/gnomoku-1.0.tar.gz
Gnomoku is a Gomoku game using the GTK+ widget toolkit (thru GTK--) and
the GNOME stock UI functions. It can be played either by two players
via a TCP/IP network, or against a computer AI opponent (based on
Emacs' gomoku engine).
Changes:
* New translations: fi (Jarkko Ranta), zh_TW (Li Wei Jih)
* Build fixes
Gnomoku depends on GTK-- and GNOME-- 1.2, GTK+ 1.2 and the October
GNOME platform.
Bye,
Cactus

netenv 0.92
Do you use a laptop in different network environments ?
At home ? In the office ? At a customers site ?
If yes, the small package "netenv" might be useful for you. When
booting your laptop it provides you with a simple interface from
which you can choose the current network environment. If you are
the first time in an environment, you can enter the basic data
for later reuse.
New in 0.92: SuSe support. Completely rewritten docs. German
translation. Extended example section.
You will find the whole story at
http://netenv.sourceforge.net

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
IVRS more popularly known as Interactive Voice Response System now can build
around a voice modem and Linux. The perl module to implement the various
IVRS functions like Voice Mail, Tele banking, Product information, Fax on
demand, Call center is available at
http://search.cpan.org/search?mode=module&query=ivrs
The major advantage is that this module does not require any special
telephony cards like Dialogic or Quicknet hence very economical IVR system
can be implemented. This module is also being ported to Windows platform.

Subject: findimagedupes 0.1.3
Date: Thu, 15 Feb 2001 21:45:14 GMT
Reply-To: un-raindog@kudla.org
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
findimagedupes 0.1.3 has been released.
http://www.kudla.org/raindog/perl
http://www.kudla.org/raindog/perl/findimagedupes-0.1.3.tar.gz
findimagedupes is a command-line utility written in perl which performs a rough
"visual diff" on two images or a whole tree to detect if any look similar. It
can produce output suitable for driving GUI front-ends. It can also export a
GQView compatible collection file, so you can deal with the duplicates visually.
On common image types, findimagedupes seems to be around 98% accurate.
Contents of README-findimagedupes:
findimagedupes 0.1.3 Copyright 2001 Rob Kudla <webmaster@kudla.org>
This program is distributed under the GNU General Public License;
see the file COPYING for details. (Note especially the part about
NO WARRANTY. You run findimagedupes at your own risk.)
findimagedupes is a crude command-line utility for finding visually
similar images. With it you can compare two images and report the
percentage of similarity, or compare an entire tree, reporting all
likely duplicates based on a percentage of similarity you select. It
optionally exports GQView collection files.
It can handle all image types understood by ImageMagick, but currently
is limited to those types recognized as images/bitmaps by whatever
version of "file" is installed on your system. This is due to
PerlMagick's desire to treat every imaginable file type as an image,
with tragic results.
I have nothing to do with GQView development myself, but the
collections that findimagedupes creates work properly in GQView 0.91.
This functionality is provided so that there's some easy way to
visually compare duplicates; using GQView you can quickly delete the
poorer quality duplicate. I plan to write a GUI front-end as I did
with kcdfind, which in this case will allow you to view and manage
duplicates as they're found. Ultimately, this functionality should be
integrated into image management programs like GQView and Pixie. (I
think it's on GQView's todo list already.)
The algorithm is monkeys-with-typewriters simple: reduce images to a
uniform size, shape and palette; expand the histogram as much as
possible; reduce further to a 16x16x1 bitmap; compare each pair of
pictures and count the number of bits in an identical state in both.
The algorithm is (hopefully) commented usefully in the code.
Despite its crudeness, it seems to be something like 98% accurate on
most common images (people, animals, cartoons, pr0n, etc.) It does
spectacularly poorly on images with miniscule differences, like 10
different shots of a sunset over the ocean, or the two presidential
candidates in the last US election.
I've recently added a "GUI mode" which should allow other programs
to interface with findimagedupes. It theoretically prints no
output except status info and when it finds dupes. It's formatted
like this:
Status::<number of current image>::<total number of images>::<percent>
Dupe::<filename1>::<filename2>::<percent similarity>
This program seems stable, but should be considered a development
release. In particular, the processing time rises geometrically with
the number of images in a tree. I am not enough of a math or data
structures guy to know how to speed up the binary comparison and bit
counting of, say, 20,000 elements of 32 bytes of data, all resident in
memory. (PerlMagick also seems to not let go of its memory when you
undef images out of a set.) Suggestions would be welcome.
Requirements:
perl - language this is written in
ImageMagick - library for manipulating images
PerlMagick (Image::Magick) - Perl interface to above
pwd, find, sort, tput (curses), file
(i.e. if this works right under NT I'd be surprised)
A bunch of pictures of which you've totally lost control
Non-standard packages required for this to run should be
available via my perl page at:
http://www.kudla.org/raindog/perl
If you'd like, get GQview at:
http://gqview.sourceforge.net
Usage: findimagedupes [options] [<file1> <file2>]
Options:
-rescan = rescan fingerprints of all files in directory
-f <file> = use <file> as image fingerprint database
-d <dir> = scan <dir> instead of current directory
-t <num> = use <num> as threshold% of similarity (default 90)
-v <program> = launch <program> (in bg) to view each set of dupes
-c <file> = create GQView collection <file>.gqv of duplicates
<file1> <file2> = diff just those two files, using -v if present
(other options ignored if files are specified)
-p = only valid when files specified; prints the
hex of the actual fingerprint of each file.
-g = GUI mode: produce only machine-friendly output.
History:
0.1.3 11 February 2001
Due to a problem with ImageMagick 5.2.3 on my machine,
now uses raw 'mono' format for thumbprints instead
of 'pbm'. This returns identical data minus the
header stuff we were discarding anyway.
Applied patch from Max Stekelenburg:
Program would sometimes try to scan text files due
to a misplaced if.
Stomped on some uninitialized value warnings.
Applied patch from Paul Cassella:
Improved performance by only comparing images whose
number of 1 bits would allow them to fall within
the threshold.
Sped up bit counting routing using pack once per
image rather than a loop per comparison.
Eliminated non-regular-files from the scan.
Stomped on some uninitialized value warnings.
Bugfix: Will again rescan automatically if db file not
present or is zero-length.
Added -g option, "GUI mode", to format output for use
by GUI's and other programs.
0.1.2 30 September 2000
Changed algorithm to use an 8x8x8 thumbprint instead of
16x16x1. It failed disastrously, so changed back.
Cleaned up the code a little for public release.
Minor bug fixes I didn't bother to document.
First public release.
0.1.1 24 September 2000
Added "compare 2 files at a time".
Added GQview collection generation.
Fixed bug in binary comparison; huge jump in accuracy.
Generalized (sorta) the thumbprint generation routine.
0.1.0 17 September 2000
First working version, perhaps 75% accurate.

Subject: Holsham Traders 0.5.9 multiplayer trading game released
Date: Thu, 15 Feb 2001 21:40:47 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Hi everyone.
I'm proud to announce the latest release of Holsham Traders:
htsserver 0.5.9 -- the Holsham Traders server
nhtsclient 0.5.9 -- a ncurses-based Holsham Traders client
Holsham Traders is a realtime multiplayer trading game. You are
a trader in a town named Holsham, which is situated on a distant planet.
You send your transporters from town to town and try to make as much
money as possible by buying and selling goods.
Though the game is still in the development phase, some things already
work.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
htsserver 0.5.9
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Homepage: http://htsserver.sourceforge.net
NEWS:
* htsserver now requires Glib 1.3.2 or better.
* Rewrite of the networking code, the logging code, configfile support,
the string parsing routine and much more.
* There were several changes in the client/server protocol.
* Cleaned up commandline options.
* Lots of documentation updates. Added the manpage htsserver.conf(5).
* Removed savegame support. This will be re-implemented. Savegame files
will either be ASCII files or XML files.
* htsserver is FHS compliant, now.
* Fixed several format string vulnerabilities.
* Lots and lots of internal improvements and of course the usual
bugfixes.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
nhtsclient 0.5.9
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Homepage: http://nhtsclient.sourceforge.net
NEWS:
* The version number jumped from 0.5.1 to 0.5.9, so that we are in sync
with htsserver...
* nhtsclient now requires GLib 1.3.2, htsserver 0.5.9, a recent ncurses
and libmikmod >= 3.1.7 for optional sound support.
* Logging to stderr is not possible anymore, as it destroys the ncurses
screen, which is not what we want. But you can still log to a file.
* Rewrite of the logging code from scratch.
* Cleaned up commandline options.
* Comply to the FHS.
* We handle a lot more server commands now.
* Many documentation updates. Added nhtsclient.conf(5) manpage.
* There's support for configurable colors in the configfile now.
* Commandline options take precedence before their configfile
equivalents now.
* Sound support is optional now, i.e. libmikmod is not absolutely
necessary anymore.
* Fixed several format string vulnerabilities and lots of other bugs.
Any comments, suggestions or patches are welcome.
Have fun.
Uwe.

[Submitter's note: the bulk of this announcement is in Norwegian. The
announcement
concerns a meeting of the Bergen Linux User Group (BLUG), to take place
on Thursday,
February 22, in Bergen, Norway]
Bergen Linux User Group fortsetter sin møteserie "Last Thursday" for
Linux-brukere og andre interesserte
Torsdag 22. febuar 2000, kl 19.00
Stort auditorium, Høyteknologisenteret,
Thormøhlens gate 55, Bergen
Programmet for møtet er:
~ "KDE på nynorsk. Hva som måtte til, språklig og teknisk" - Gaute Hvoslef
Kvalnes, som på eget initiativ laget nynorsk versjon av KDE, forklarer
hva og hvordan, med demonstrasjon av KDE og verktøyene.
Vi legger som tidligere opp til at den formelle, disiplinerte faglige
delen av møtet vil være fullført ca kl 21.00, med overgang til mer
uformelle aktiviteter og langsom forflytting til egnet serveringssted
for fagøl og annet sosialt.
MERK: Høyteknologisenteret har et finurlig utformet
adgangskontrollsystem som gjør at man ikke uten
videre slipper inn uten kontakter på innsiden.
Vi vil gjøre vårt beste for å ha folk i døren for
å slippe inn fra ca 18.45 til vel 19.00.
Vi legger opp til at det også i dette semestere blir møter *siste
torsdag i måneden*. Den foreløpige møteplanen ser slik ut:
Torsdag 29. mars 2001, kl 19.00
Torsdag 26. april 2001, kl 19.00
Torsdat 31. mai 2001, kl 19.00
Dersom ikke annet blir annonsert, vil møtene fortsatt foregå på
høyteknologisenteret. Mulige emner som har vært nevnt i elektroniske
og andre diskusjoner er:
* linux og trådløse nettverk, radiolink osv
* linux og docbook ({SG,X}ML) i virkelige programvareprosjekter
* samarbeid om å skaffe fastlinje til interesserte medlemmer og dele
på utgiftene.
* installfest (post-install-fest (ikke nødvendigvis nachspiel)).
* linux på lomme-pc-er, anskaffe samme type utstyr for å dele
erfaringer.
* Grafikk-program, demonstrasjon av det programmet du har satt deg
inn i.
Vi benytter oss igjen av muligheten til å minne om BLUGs hjemmeside,
som langsomt vokser innholds- og utformingsmessig på
url:http://www.blug.linux.no. Der finner du løpende oppdatert info om
brukergruppen og annet linux-relatert stoff. En annen viktig kanal for
kommunikasjon med og mellom BLUG-medlemmer er epostlisten,
mailto:blug@blug.linux.no.
Spørsmål kan rettes til avsender, mailto:peter@datadok.no eller til
blug-listen mailto:blug@blug.linux.no.
Hjelp til bruk av blug-listen fås ved å sende melding til
mailto:majordomo@blug.linux.no med teksten
help
som meldingstekst (ikke emne), påmelding ved melding til
mailto:majordomo@blug.linux.no med

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Dear All
Version 3.02 of lcrzo and lcrzoex are now available.
** lcrzo **
Lcrzo is a network library.
Its main objective is to easily create network test programs.
This library provides network functionnalities for Ethernet, IP, UDP,
TCP, ICMP, ARP and RARP protocols. It supports spoofing, sniffing,
client and server creation. Furthermore, lcrzo contains
high level functions dealing with data storage and handling.
Using all these functions, you can quickly create a network test
program. Lcrzo, which means "Laurent Constantin RéZO" (RéZO=Network in
French), is available under the GNU LGPL license. This library was
successfully installed under Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris.
The library lcrzo provides :
+ network functionnalities :
- address conversion
- packet encoding/decoding/printing
- spoofing
- real/virtual UDP/TCP clients/servers
- sniffing
- device(network board) dealing
- etc.
+ and general functionnalities :
- data conversion
- chained list
- IPC
- etc.
** lcrzoex **
Lcrzoex is a program containing usage examples for the library lcrzo.
Actually, lcrzoex contains more than 150 examples. The main objective
of lcrzoex is to teach you how to use the library lcrzo. Every
example can be compiled alone and modified to match your needs.
Examples provided by lcrzoex can be used in the following contexts :
- discover the Ethernet address of a computer (examples 2, 3, 134,
etc.)
- sniff your LAN to detect what's going on (examples 7, 8, 9, etc.)
- check the checksums created by a network program which isn't
working (examples 16, 17, 18, etc.)
- intercept a session and replay it as many times you want to
strictly test your application (examples 10, 11, 12, 22, etc.)
- verify if a router is well configured even if the needed computers
are down (examples 48, ..., 53, etc.)
- check if your router/firewall/computer blocks
- IP protocols (examples 29, ..., 34, etc.)
- IP options (examples 29, ..., 34, 73, ..., 79, etc.), source
routing (examples 45, 56, 59, 62, etc.)
- IP fragments (examples 44, 55, 58, 61, 72, etc.)
- TCP options (examples 48, ..., 53, etc.)
- ICMP types (examples 65, ..., 70, etc.)
- ARP poisoning (examples 80, 81, 82, 83, etc.)
- create a tcp/udp client with a special local port (examples 85,
89, 86, 93, 97, etc.)
- convert between numbers (examples 139, ..., 148, etc.)
- etc.

++ minor evolutions of liblcrzo ++
- Update of the document presenting lcrzo.
- Addition of configuration functions allowing to specify Ethernet
and IP addresses for internal spoofing. These addresses can
also be computed to match the local network. These functions
are now used for internal arp and rarp spoofing, in addresses
conversion functions.
++ major evolutions of lcrzoex ++
