Announcing Xr3 0.3 for Linux
----------------------------
Controlling your Audio/Video Stack with the Click of a Mouse!
Xr3 is a GUI based remote control program designed for use with a RedRat2
serial port based Learning IR Remote Control. It's designed to let you
control almost any IR enabled Audio/Video equipment using customized
remote control "panels". Color icons and tool tips are provided to enable
construction of very intuitive and friendly interfaces.
Each panel is defined by a simple record oriented data file that can
be edited using any simple text editor. One can literally create panels in
a few minutes. A number of examples panels, e.g. VCR/DVD/TV/PVR can be quickly
modified and used as is. Icons are simple pixmaps and can easily be created
using any number of graphic editing tools.
The xr3 program uses the excellent "ir" perl script from Dave Kramer as
it's interface to the RedRat2. The ir script can be invoked from the command
line, the web, through an email .forward and now via a GUI. The xr3 program
can also be modified to use any backend program to drive other types of
devices, I use it to drive my modified GATOS TV viewing program.
Panels are invoked with either a Gtk(default) or a Motif Interface.
Future plans include Qt and skins based interfaces, a small macro language
and perhaps loadable modules to drive other panel types(Pronto, OmniRemote).
Also included are some RedRat2 related tools, i.e.
rrDecode - A RedRat2 IR record decoder.
testRedRat - A simple RedRat2 Test program.
p2rr - Pronto to RedRat2 IR record converter.
tvChannelSelector - A simple TV channel selector.
mkTVchannelSelector - A tool to make TV channel panels for above.
The Xr3 tools were developed and tested on Red Hat 6.1, 7.0 but should
run on most any Linux/Unix system. It requires perl, Gtk and
optionally Motif.
Changes Since Last Release:
Color Icons, tool tips, panel description files, p2rr, channel
changing tool. Gtk as preferred interface, better packaging, docs, ...
No longer just for ReplayTV...

Date: Sun, 25 Feb 2001 01:37:28 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
I am pleased to announce the release of Heroes 0.9.
Heroes is similar to the "Tron" and "Nibbles" games of yore, but
includes many graphical improvements and new game features.
In it, you must maneuver a small vehicle around a world and collect
powerups while avoiding obstacles, your opponents' trails, and even
your own trail.
There are five game modes available. Quest is the classical
Nibbles, in Death Match you start with very long tails a must kill your
opponents, in Kill'em All you must run over lemmings moving on the
ground, in Time Cash or Color modes you must collect money or pyramids
of color. Heroes features 12 original sound tracks, 94 levels (in 10
different tile sets) plus a level editor.
You are invited to visit the following links:
home page: http://heroes.sourceforge.net/
screenshots: http://heroes.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html
download: http://heroes.sourceforge.net/download.html
Note: this is a source code release, the `download' page also lists
binary packages which might not be up-to-date yet.
NEWS in this version include:
- internationalization (Dutch and French messages included;
feel free to submit those for your own language)
- improved display rendering (especially with GGI)
- revamped `configure'
See the NEWS file for details, there have been a lot of changes not
worth to list here.
HELP! Heroes development is open to anyone and we welcome any
contribution. In the hypothetical case you would like to spend some
time on the source code and don't know what to do, please, ask the
mailing list: there is presently some (non-boring) tasks that are
needed and for which understanding the full source tree is not a
prerequisite.

Subject: Net::FTPServer 1.0 - A full-featured FTP server
Date: Sun, 25 Feb 2001 01:36:32 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
February 22, 2001
ANNEXIA.ORG (London, UK) announces immediate availability of
Net::FTPServer version 1.0, a secure, extensible and featureful FTP
server with a unique fully virtualisable filesystem
architecture. Net::FTPServer is now in use by over 4m users worldwide.
Net::FTPServer represents a radical departure from traditional FTP
servers like wu-ftpd and ProFTPD. Being written in Perl, it is secure
against buffer overflow and tainted data attacks, and can be easily
extended by loading in simple scripts (written in Perl). The whole FTP
server can be completely changed by loading in back-end
"personalities" so that you can, for example, serve files directly out
of a relational database or even from memory. The architecture is
modelled after Apache modules.
The server has been adopted by schoolmaster.net, the world's leading
online education community, and by FreeServers.com, a free webspace
provider, giving it over 4 million users worldwide.
The Net::FTPServer code is a Bibliotech project. This company has
kindly donated the code to the community and has provided web space
and resources to host the website.
Net::FTPServer is available from http://ftpserver.annexia.org/ and
from CPAN. It is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public
License (GPL).

TCM (Toolkit for Conceptual Modeling)
Version 2.01; last updated Februari 12, 2001.
TCM is a collection of tools to present conceptual models of software systems
in the form of diagrams, tables and trees. A conceptual model is a structure
used to represent the requirements or architecture of the system. TCM is meant
to be used for specifying and maintaining requirements for desired systems.
TCM takes the form of a suite of graphical editors that can be categorized
into:
* Generic editors for generic diagrams, generic tables and generic trees.
* Structured Analysis (SA) editors for entity-relationship diagrams, data
and event flow diagrams, state transition diagrams, function refinement
trees, transaction-use tables and function-entity type tables.
* Unified Modeling Language (UML) editors for static structure diagrams,
use-case diagrams, activity diagrams, [state charts], [message sequence
diagrams], [collaboration diagrams], component diagrams and deployment
diagrams ([...] not implemented yet).
* Miscellaneous editors such as for JSD (process structure and network
diagrams), recursive process graphs and transaction decomposition tables.
TCM supports constraint checking for single documents (e.g. name duplication
and cycles in is-a relationships).
The TCM editors output the TCM file format, PostScript, Encapsulated
PostScript, PNG and the Fig format (with either LaTeX- or PostScript fonts).
The Fig format can be further processed by XFIG.
Although TCM is initially developed as software specification tool, it is
also widely used for drawing arbitrary graph-like diagrams or tables.
TCM runs on Unix systems with X Windows. All editors share a common Motif
user interface. Instead of Motif you can use the GPL Motif-clone Lesstif.
TCM is available as source code or as binaries for various Unix platforms.
There are binaries for Solaris sparc, Linux i386, HP-UX, SGI IRIX,
IBM AIX and OSF/1. Solaris and Linux are the platforms on which we develop
and for which the most recent binaries are available.
TCM is distributed under the GNU Public License. For the exact copyright
text of TCM see the file COPYING.
