Subject: GNU MDK version 0.3.5 released
From: "Jose A. Ortega Ruiz" <jaortega@acm.org>



GNU MDK 0.3.5 has been released.  It is available from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mdk/ and mirrors of that site (see list of
mirror sites at http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html) [0].

GNU MDK provides a simulator of D. Knuth's MIX computer, and a
development environment to write, run and debug MIXAL programs on it.

New in this release:

** In gmixvm, when the mouse pointer is over a MIXAL source line, the
   status bar shows the value of the variables appearing in this line.

** The current symbol table can be displayed, in gmixvm, using the menu
   command Debug->Symbols...

** Bug fix: the load, compile and run file dialogs now get the correct
   filename under linux.

** Bug fix: fonts used by gmixvm are now always correctly saved.

** Bug fix: 'psym' now works correctly in gmixvm.

** Bug fix: the symbol table for a MIX file is now correctly recovered
   both in gmixvm and mixvm (negative values where incorrectly
   converted to a positive value).


Visit the MDK home page at http://www.gnu.org/software/mdk/mdk.html.

Bug reports should go to bug-gnu-mdk@gnu.org.

Enjoy!


[0] GNU MDK source and binary packages can also be downloaded from

Subject: man_db 2.3.19 released

man_db: The on-line manual database
===================================

I've released man_db version 2.3.19.

Description
===========

man_db contains an implementation of the man command, which is the
primary way of examining the on-line help files (manual pages). Other
utilities provided include the whatis and apropos commands for searching
the manual page database, the manpath utility for determining the manual
page search path, and the maintenance utilities mandb, catman and
zsoelim. The package requires a troff installation, such as groff (GNU
troff) to format and display the manual pages.

About this release
==================

This release makes it easier for distributors to allow the man_db tools
to be installed without elevated privileges. man_db can be compiled with
support for being installed setuid, but can then be installed without
the setuid bit with no ill effects. In this mode, cat pages will not be
saved. This is now the recommended way to install man_db.

man should now be much faster for all users, as it will not try to
update databases on the fly. While this behaviour had some benefits, it
often caused long delays in interactive use.

A number of other fixes and enhancements are included in this release,
including security fixes for those installing man_db setuid (e.g. the
configuration in ~/.manpath is not trusted), configurable section
ordering, recognition of terminal size, and a number of improvements to
the tools' robustness. For full details, please see the files docs/NEWS
and docs/ChangeLog in the source distribution.

  http://man-db.sourceforge.net/
  http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/man-db/man_db-2.3.19.tgz

Cheers,

Subject: zgv 5.4 - svgalib picture viewer with thumbnail-based file selector
Reply-To: russell.marks@ntlworld.com
From: Russell Marks <russell.marks@spam^H^H^H^Hntlworld.com>

zgv is an svgalib picture viewer with a thumbnail-based file selector.
Most file formats are supported, and the thumbnails used are
compatible with xv, xzgv, and the Gimp. It can also be used with `zgv
file(s)', to effectively bypass the file selector.

zgv's homepage is here:

  http://www.svgalib.org/rus/zgv/

You can also download it from ibiblio:

  ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/apps/graphics/viewers/svga/zgv-5.4.tar.gz


5.4 has some significant bugfixes. It also adds a version of xzgv's
zoom-reduce-only, and can optionally ignore file `extensions' when
choosing which files to list.


Here's the changes relative to the previous version (from NEWS):

** New features

Added equivalent of xzgv's zoom-reduce-only option, which lets you
reduce big pictures in zoom mode without it also enlarging small ones.
The toggle is on Alt-r, and the config file option is
`zoom_reduce_only'. Thanks to Jan Blasiak for this.

You can now optionally use a magic-number-based scheme to choose which
files to list in the selector (Alt-m toggles it, and `fsmagic' is the
relevant config file option). This approach is much slower, but useful
when you have files lacking extensions. Thanks to Dankó Miklós for
suggesting this.

Added optional error-diffused dithering in 640x480x4 mode (enable with
Alt-c or `fastdither16col off' in config file) - this usually looks
better, but is much too slow to be the default.


** Bugfixes

A fix for `restore to background colour' replacement method in
animated GIFs - it previously trusted the left/top/width/height values
for the GIF images to be sane (i.e. to fit within the defined
`screen'), which was a pretty stupid mistake. Thanks to Michal Svec
for spotting the problem.

Several significant BMP-reading fixes, particularly affecting some
16-colour and 24-bit files. Thanks to Matan Ziv-Av and Vlad Harchev
for spotting the problems.

Previously, when you deleted a file, or a file-move wasn't successful,
all tags were lost. This could be extremely annoying at times, but
it's finally fixed. Thanks to Dankó Miklós for reminding me about this
one (I'd noticed it before).

Animated GIFs now have thumbnails showing only the first image, though
the current implementation is... less efficient than it could be (it
reads the lot, then ignores everything after the first :-)).

The 640x480x4 (16-colour) mode-select key was still listed as `4' on
the mode help page, when it's been `0' for a while. (A similar problem
with the mouse menu meant the 640x480x4 option on that wasn't working,
either.) Thanks to Wim Osterholt for spotting this.


** Other changes

Improved 640x480x4 mode's colour dithering slightly, and changed so it
now transparently adjusts base gamma adjustment (without changing the
effect of user-specified gamma). Essentially, it tends to look a bit
more like it does in proper 8-bit modes now. :-)

The GIF reader didn't previously read a certain form of broken
animated GIF (those with multiple image block terminators, which
breaks the GIF spec) - it stopped after one image. This was *not* a
bug, but it now tolerates such bogosity anyway. Thanks to Daniel
Biddle for spotting this.

Now allows `1' and `0' as alternatives to `on'/`off' and `yes'/`no'
for boolean option setting in config files. Also made the
documentation a bit clearer about how bools can be set. Thanks to
Johannes Zellner for indirectly noticing the problem.

The man page's OPTIONS section now has the right name again.

          *** New York Linux Users Group July Meeting ***
                           - NYLUG.org -

                    Debugging Geeks and Perl:
                   Topics on Neil's Short List 

7/18/2001
Wednesday
6:30pm-8:00pm
IBM Headquarters Building
590 Madison Avenue at 57th Street
Check in at lobby for badge and room number
========================================================================

Is it true that to know how to make a geek happy is to know how to 
effectively use the perl debugger? 

Join us, as Neil Bauman, Captain of the Geek Cruises (geekcruises.com)
and perl debugger specialist, provides you with the expert advice on 
How To Make Geeks Happy and Debugging Perl.

Neil has captivated many a geek with the techical presentations offered 
on the Geek Cruise. The Perl Whirl, the first such celebrated adventure, 
cruised Alaska's Inside Passage in January 2000 and offered a wealth of 
high quality tech talks to newbies and guru's alike. If you missed the 
word on this adventure, check out Wired's article "Scripting on the Lido
Deck" (www.wired.com/wired/archive/8.10/cruise.html) for starters...
And don't miss the Linux Lunacy itinerary scheduled to sail this fall:
http://www.geekcruises.com/home/ll_home.html

Neil recently gave a well-received walkthrough on the Debugger to the 
Silicon Valley Perl Mongers. 

        "It's a powerful tool that will make every Perl hacker, 
         both expert and novice, a way to figure out how a script 
         is working or why it is not. Truly, a powerful tool 
         that'll make every Linux geek quite a bit happier." 
                                                - Neil Bauman 

Neil hosted his own 'Geek Speak' radio program, has been interviewed 
on many popular TV and radio news programs, and was written up and 
quoted in many national periodicals including the Wall Street Journal 
and Software Development magazine. (source KS chapter of the AITP) 

Stammtisch:
After the meeting... Join us around 8:15pm or so at the Typhoon Brewery 
& Restaurant located at 22 East 54th Street between Madison and 5th Aves.

Subject: Zile 1.5.2 - Zile Is Lossy Emacs (Emacs clone)

Zile is another Emacs-clone.  Zile is a customizable, self-documenting
real-time, open-source display editor.  Zile was written to be as similar
as possible to Emacs; every Emacs user should feel at home with Zile.

Zile features:

 - Small but fast and powerful.  It is very useful for small footprint
   installations (like on floppy disk) or quick editing sessions.

 - 8-bit clean.  Zile can operate with binary files.

 - Looks like Emacs.  Most Zile key sequences and function names
   are identical to Emacs ones.

 - Multi buffer editing w/multi level undo.  Zile can open an
   infinite number of files and can record an infinite sequence of
   undo operations.

 - Multi window.  Zile can display multiple windows on the screen.

 - Killing, yanking and registers.  The typical killing, yanking and
   register features of Emacs are available under Zile.

 - Minibuffer completion.  Zile can complete the user written text.
   This is very useful for `M-x' commands and for selecting files.

 - Colors.  Zile makes use of the color capatibilities of the
   terminal if available.

 - Source highlighting ("C" and "C++" only for now).  Zile can
   highlight the "C" and "C++" source files for better reading.

 - Auto fill (word wrap).  Zile automatically breaks the lines when
   they become too wide (if the Auto Fill Mode is enabled).

==============================================================================

Zile is now hosted on SourceForge at the address:
http://zile.sourceforge.net/

Latest version can be also found at my homepage:
http://www.sigala.it/sandro/

* Implemented Shell-script Mode.
* Fixed Solaris compatibility bugs.
* Fixed bugs in C/C++ Font Lock parsing.
