Subject: Crossfire 1.0.0 released

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Crossfire 1.0 has been released. This is a well tested release meant
for wide distribution.
WHAT IS CROSSFIRE?
This is a multiplayer graphical arcade and adventure game made for
the X-Windows environment. A windows client is also available.
It has certain flavours from other games, especially Gauntlet (TM)
and Nethack/Moria.
Any number of players can move around in their own window, finding
and using items and battle monsters. They can choose to cooperate
or compete in the same "world".
REQUIREMENTS
For UNIX, X-windows and an ANSI C compiler to compile this game.
A window system is not needed if you don't want to compile the
map editor.
For Windows 9x, you need Visual C++ (or some other ANSI C
compiler that can read ".dsw"-files).
COMPILING
Crossfire has been known to compile on a wide variety of
systems. It should compile and most all ANSI C and Posix
compliant systems.
To get directions on compilation for UNIX/LINUX, read the INSTALL file.
For Win9x, read INSTALL_WIN32.txt.
USAGE
Crossfire runs on a client/server model. You will also need the
client to play. You can either connect to a server someone else
has set up, or run your own server and connect to that. The
client package has information for connecting to servers.
To run your own server, you need to make the crossfire binaries and install
them, and then run the crossfire program. This now creates a server which
you/other people can connect to. The map files will need to get downloaded
and installed for the server to run properly. If you plan to run a long
term server, you should use one of the scripts provided that will re-run
crossfire if it dies for some reason.
MAILING LIST
For the latest subscription for crossfire mailing lists, go to:
http://crossfire.real-time.com/Website_Index/Mailing_Lists/mailing_lists.jhtml
From there you should be able to subscribe/unsubscribe any of the mailing
lists. The mailing lists based off the ifi.uio.no host are being
discontinued.
An archive of old messages can be found at
http://www.real-time.com/maillists/rte/crossfire

WEB SITES:
The following web addresses have crossfire information that you may find
useful:
http://crossfire.real-time.com/
real-time is the main crossfire site.
REPORTING BUGS
First, check the INSTALL file for common problems, and see if yours is
mentioned.
The mailing list is where present development work and bugs are typically
discussed. If you want to know what is happening with crossfire, join the
list and please ask there.
I will likely delete mail messages of the following sort:
1) Bug reports of failed installation when the installation instructions
were not followed.
2) Bug reports that contain so little information that it tells me nothing
more than the fact that there is a bug.
3) Bugs in which the solution has already been answered in the INSTALL
file.
When reporting bugs, make sure you include the following:
o What version of crossfire did you use?
o What type of computer did you use?
o What release of the operating system did it have?
o What windowing system are you using (Ie, openwindows, X11R6, etc)
o What compiler (and its version) did you use (ie, gcc, acc, etc)?
o Which flags did you give it?
o If the bug happens when compiling crossfire, send an EXACT copy of
the compiler line, as well as the errors it puts out. Sending bugs
of the sort 'it failed with a line like ...' doesn't help any.
o If the bug happened while running crossfire:
- Include any output before to the bug.
- Give a description of what you did before the bug occured. The better
detailed the description, the better chance I have of figuring
out where the bug happened, or how I can recreate the bug.
o If you managed to compile Crossfire, include the output of
"crossfire -o".
Lack of any of this information in a bug report can make that bug report
useless. Also, if you have a bug, make sure you are using the latest
version. If you report a bug that has since been fixed, you are not likely
to get any help.
Further debugging informatiion can be found at
http://crossfire.real-time.com/debugging_tips.html
Mail the bug report to crossfire-devel@listserv.real-time.com
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUBMITTING PATCHES: See the doc/programming_guide file.
PUBLIC SERVERS:
The best way to find a server to play is to run the client. It will contact
the metaserver and present a list to choose from. You can also see
a list at http://crossfire.real-time.com/metaserver/

Subject: Second beta of gawk 3.1 now available
Date: Thu, 24 May 2001 21:13:39 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
This note is to announce the second BETA release of version 3.1 of gawk. It is
available from ftp://ftp.freefriends.org/arnold/gawk/gawk-3.0.98.tar.gz.
This release fixes a number of bugs, almost all of which have been posted
previously. More importantly, there is a large number of new features
in this release, the first major release in approximately five years!
The relevant part of NEWS is appended below.
As far as I can tell, the documentation and code have both hit the
freeze point. Other than changing the version and patch levels, this
is what I expect to release as 3.1.
So, why do a beta release? So that you, yes you, the end user, can see
if anything I've done breaks gawk for you. Then you can TELL ME ABOUT
IT so that I can fix it for the final release.
I want version 3.1 to be stable for the long term. PLEASE help me do
that by building and testing this release, and letting me know if there
are any problems. Ultimately, it is yourself you're helping, as well
as every other gawk user, when you do this.
Thanks,
Arnold Robbins

- ---------------------------------------------
Changes from 3.0.6 to 3.1.0
- ---------------------------
1. A new PROCINFO array provides info about the process. The non-I/O /dev/xxx
files are now obsolete, and their use always generates a warning.
2. A new `mktime' builtin function was added for creating time stamps. The
`mktime' function written in awk was removed from the user's guide.
3. New `--gen-po' option creates GNU gettext .po files for strings marked
with a leading underscore.
4. Gawk now completely interprets special file names internally, ignoring the
existence of real /dev/stdin, /dev/stdout files, etc.
5. The mmap code was removed. It was a worthwhile experiment that just
didn't work out.
6. The BINMODE variable is new; on non-UNIX systems it affects how gawk
opens files for text vs. binary.
7. The atari port is now unsupported.
8. Gawk no longer supports `next file' as two words.
9. On systems that support it, gawk now sets the `close on exec' flag on all
files and pipes it opens. This makes sure that child processes run via
system() or pipes have plenty of file descriptors available.
10. New ports: Tandem and BeOS. The Tandem port is unsupported.
11. If `--posix' is in effect, newlines are not allowed after ?:.
12. Weird OFMT/CONVFMT formats no longer cause fatal errors.
13. Diagnostics about array parameters now include the parameter's name,
not just its number.
14. configure should now automatically add -D_SYSV3 for ISC Unix.
(This seems to have made it into the gawk 3.0.x line long ago.)
15. It is now possible to open a two-way pipe via the `|&' operator.
See the discussion in the manual about putting `sort' into such a pipeline,
though. (NOTE! This is borrowed from ksh: it is not the same as
the same operator in csh!)
16. The close() function now takes an optional second string argument
that allows closing one or the other end of the two-way pipe to
a co-process. This is needed to use `sort' in a co-process, see
the doc.
17. If TCP/IP is available, special file names beginning with `/inet'
can be used with `|&' for IPC. Thanks to Juergen Kahrs for the initial
code.
18. With `--enable-portals' on the configure command line, gawk will also
treat file names that start with `/p/' as a 4.4 BSD type portal file,
i.e., a two-way pipe for `|&'.
19. Unrecognized escapes, such as "\q" now always generate a warning.
20. The LINT variable is new; it provides dynamic control over the --lint
option.
21. Lint warnings can be made fatal by using --lint=fatal or `LINT = "fatal"'.
Use this if you're really serious about portable code.
22. Due to an enhanced sed script, there is no longer any need to worry
about finding or using alloca. alloca.c is thus now gone.
23. A number of lint warnings have been added. Most notably, gawk will
detect if a variable is used before assigned to. Warnings for
when a string that isn't a number gets converted to a number are
in the code but disabled; they seem to be too picky in practice.
Also, gawk will now warn about function parameter names that shadow
global variable names.
24. It is now possible to dynamically add builtin functions on systems
that support dlopen. This facility is not (yet) as portable or well
integrated as it might be. *** WARNING *** THIS FEATURE WILL EVOLVE!
25. There are *many* new tests in the test suite.
26. Profiling has been added! A separate version of gawk, named pgawk, is
built and generates a run-time execution profile. The --profile option
can be used to change the default output file. In regular gawk, this
option pretty-prints the parse tree.
27. Gawk has been internationalized, using GNU gettext. Translations for
future distributions are most welcome. Simultaneously, gawk was switched
over to using automake. You need Automake 1.4a (from the CVS archive)
if you want to muck with the Makefile.am files.
28. New asort() function for sorting arrays. See the doc for details.
29. The match function takes an optional array third argument to hold
the text matched by parenthesized sub-expressions.
30. The bit op functions and octal and hex source code constants are on by
default, no longer a configure-time option. Recognition of non-decimal
data is now enabled at runtime with --non-decimal-data command line option.
31. Internationalization features available at the awk level: new TEXTDOMAIN
variable and bindtextdomain() and dcgettext() functions. printf formats
may contain the "%2$3.5d" kind of notation for use in translations. See
the texinfo manual for details.
32. The return value from close() has been rationalized. Most notably,
closing something that wasn't open returns -1 but remains non-fatal.
33. The array effeciency change from 3.0.5 was reverted; the semantics were
not right. Additionally, index values of previously stored elements
can no longer change dynamically.
34. The new option --dump-variables dumps a list of all global variables and
their final types and values to a file you give, or to `awkvars.out'.
35. Gawk now uses a recent version of random.c courtesy of the FreeBSD
project.
36. The gawk source code now uses ANSI C function definitions (new style),
with ansi2knr to translate code for old compilers.
37. `for (iggy in foo)' loops should be more robust now in the face of
adding/deleting elements in the middle; they loop over just the elements
that are present in the array when the loop starts.

Date: Thu, 24 May 2001 21:16:59 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Hi,
this is to announce the release of beta 10 of Cactus 4.0.
Cactus is a general, modular, parallel code for solving systems of partial
differential equations or otherwise utilising parallel or distributed
comouter system. The code has been developed over many years by a large
international collaboration of numerical relativity and computational
science research groups and can be used to provide a portable platform for
solving any system of partial differential equations. The code compiles
and runs on a variety of different platforms, from laptops running Linux
or NT to clusters of workstations, to large T3Es, with no modifications
needing to be made to the application codes.
As an example, one set of modules (thorns) can be used to solve problems
in numerical relativity, for example black hole or neutron star
collisions. The design of the code and the thorns means that general
routines can be written, for example to locate the position of the event
horizon, which can then be made generally available and used for other
problems.
The base set of thorns contains a http server which can be used to
interactively steer a simulation or view its data while the simulation is
still running.
The code is available from
http://www.cactuscode.org
Notes for this release can be found at
http://www.cactuscode.org/Development/beta10.txt
For further information, email
cactusmaint@cactuscode.org
Have fun,
Tom

Reply-To: russell.marks@ntlworld.com
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
z81 is a Sinclair ZX81 (aka TS1000) emulator. The ZX80 can also be
emulated. There are actually three versions - z81 (svgalib), xz81 (X),
and z81txt (for any text-mode Linux console; should even work on
MDA/CGA/EGA). Also included is zx81get, a ZX81 tape reader.
*The ROMs are not included*, so you'll have to obtain those
separately.
You can download z81 from ibiblio:
ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/emulators/zx/z81-1.3.1.tar.gz
There's also a web page here:
http://rus.members.beeb.net/z81.html
1.3.1 fixes a really stupid, but unfortunately serious, bug with
LOAD/SAVE. Essentially, everything apart from LOAD "" was broken.
* Changes in z81 1.3.1
Incredibly moronic bug fixed - it seems that in 1.3, I managed to
completely break all loading and saving *except* LOAD "".
Now uses SA_RESETHAND if SA_ONESHOT isn't available, which should
avoid a compilation problem on Solaris. Thanks to Philip Kendall for
pointing this out.
Here's the LSM entry:
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Begin4
Title: z81
Version: 1.3.1
Entered-date: 2001-05-13
Description: z81/z81txt/xz81 are ZX81 (TS1000) and ZX80 emulators
for (respectively) svgalib, text mode, and X. They
load/save Xtender-format .P files, and support the
ZX81's pseudo-hi-res mode. A few ZX81-related utils
(including a tape reader) and PD games are included.
Note that, due to an uncertain legal situation, the
ROMs must now be obtained separately.

MANLug meetings for May and June, 2001.
19 May 2001, 14:00, usual place. (For more information, see
our website: http://www.manlug.man.ac.uk, under 'How to find us'.)
(Newcomers, do note that the name of our building has changed from
'Computer Building' to 'the Kilburn Building', and it is so marked
on the building, though few online maps have changed.)
John Adams, Mintra
Webmin
This is a short talk on Webmin from the perspective of a commercial
installer. What is webmin? A description of the main modules.
Requirements and problems of a commercial installer. Why Webmin
satisfies all the needs of the commercial installer and of the
end user. Writing modules for Webmin. Comparison with Cobalt
and other web interfaces. Demo of Webmin.
Tobias Schiebeck, University of Manchester
The 'make' command
How 'make' works, and what you can do with it.
16 June 2001, 14:00, usual place.
Ewan Leith
USB and ADSL drivers
Since USB and ADSL drivers are now available for Linux, and since
BT offer home ADSL connections, this talk explains how to set
it up and how it performs.
Note that we need a volunteer for another talk in June! Thanks to
everyone who has done something for us already; if you promised
to do a talk and haven't delivered, you should be feeling guilty!
