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

INTERLAKEN (Switzerland):
Lord Byron, famously remarked "it's a dream" on first seeing the place. Boat cruises on
famous lakes, spectacular skiing in the Alps, attractive winter sports, water-based
activities, excellent hotels, cosmopolitan life. The name 'Interlaken' actually means
"between the lakes" - Lake Thun and Lake Brienz to be precise and water is omnipresent
throughout the area with idyllic clear mountain streams and waterfalls running off the
hills and into the lakes. This unique place in amazing Switzerland, will host the
successfull WSES Conferences on Soft Computing and Artificial Intelligence in 2002!

The Department of Aerospace, Power and Sensors at Cranfield
University, The Royal Military College of Science (RMCS) Shrivenham,
England invites applications for PhD research studentships into
multiple intelligent software agents (MISA).
The first studentship will focus on using soft computing techniques
such as fuzzy logic, artificial neural networks, evolutionary
algorithms etc as a basis for the MISA.
The second studentship is focused on designing MISA via temporal
logic combined with discrete event systems.

Position in Process Control & Optimization
Buhler Corporate Technology in Uzwil, Switzerland
The research unit Process Optimization is concerned, in a broad sense, with
the improvement of numerous physical and planning processes through well-
founded modeling, control, fault diagnosis, production optimization and the
like. This is achieved by using classical methods of control engineering as
well as the so-called intelligent methods (neural networks, fuzzy logic,
expert systems, genetic methods, etc.) that are specially suited for the
complex conditions governing our processes.

From: EricLBoyd@aol.com (Eric Boyd)
Subject: Open Source Global Load Balancer
We've released FEZhead, an open source global load balancer that runs
on Linux.
FEZhead works at both the DNS and HTTP-redirect level, allowing you to pick
between multiple websites, factoring in both performance (speed and
reliability) and price. By combining FEZhead with Squid and/or Apache,
you can build your very own mirroring solution, multi-home solution, or
private content delivery network entirely with open source software.
Please give it a try and send us feedback. You can download the source
code or executables at http://www.fezhead.org/.

From: j.anders@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de (Joerg Anders)
Subject: noteedit:crescendo/trills/fermata
noteedit-1.13.0 is available:
http://rnvs.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/~jan/noteedit/noteedit.html
new features: (Thanks to |
Christian Fasshauer <mseacf@gmx.net>): |
|
- fermata (see/hear example9.not) | Beethoven's_5th_symphony.not
- trills (see/hear example9.not) |
- (de-)crescendo (see/hear example9.not) | Thanks to Petr Cvikl
- (almost) all dialogs are new |
furthermore: | <petr.cvikl@worldonline.cz>
- sforzato, portato, strong pizzicato, |
sforzando |
Possible Problems
=================
1.) Because the syntax of trills and (de-)crescendo is relatively complicated
I implemented a YACC/LEX based input. But (my) YACC produces (one line of)
C++ incompatible output (also options "-fno-strict-prototype", "-traditional"
or "-traditional-cpp" do not help). So I correct this be means of the "sed".
I hope other YACCs/LEXs on different systems do not produce different
C++ incompatibilities. Otherwise let me know! Send me the error message and
the file "grammar.cc"!
2.) Noteedit playes the (de-)crescendo using a special fade in/fade out property
of the soundcard. Unfortunately this feature is not supported by all
soundcards. So if the replay of (de-)crescendo causes unexpected results
use the "--without-fadein" option!
other features:
- insertion/deletion/modification of notes, rests, dotted notes/rests,
tied notes, slured notes, clefs with/without shift, time signatures,
key signatures, volume signatures, tempo signatures, triplets, repeat
groups with/without special ending and instrument changes on different
staffs;
- stem up/down
- zoom
- building chords;
- building groups of beamed notes;
- playing on /dev/sequencer (if correctly configured) whereby:
o giving each staff a different voice;
o giving each staff a different channel;
o giving each staff a different reverbation and chorus;
o highlighting the played notes;
o muting staffs;
- lyrics
- export MusiXTeX;
- export PMX;
- export MIDI;
- import MIDI;
- read from MIDI keyboard;
- Application of MIDI event filters to eliminate
some dirty effects (especially on human played MIDI files);
- record from MIDI keyboard;
- saving an restoring the files. The fileformat is similarily to the
format of the music publication program (MUP). So you if you are a MUP
user you have the possibility to convert the files into MIDI and
Postscript. But this is no longer necessary because noteedit can export
MusiXTeX, PMX and MIDI.

From: Ian Zimmerman <itz@speakeasy.org>
Subject: makedev-itz-0.9.3
Here's a bit from the README:
WHAT IS IT?
makedev-itz is a yet another implementation of the basic Unix program
that creates device nodes based on their (somewhat) generic names. It
was developed on, and is mostly intended for, GNU/Linux systems;
however, it is possible (no guarantees!) that it is useful on other
modern Unix-like systems, particularly where the GNU tools are
prominent.
I decided to write this when I learned that my distribution had
recently switched from a table-driven implementation to the familiar
amorphous shell script hack, because of license issues. This one is
FREE, without any reservations: NO proprietary tools or information
has been used to develop it.

Download it from

The CD-Rom Control is an X Window GUI for mounting, umounting/ejecting
the cd-rom drive. It comes in 3 'flavours': Tk, Gtk and GNOME. It has an
autostart function and periodically checks the cd-rom drive to see if
the status of it has changed.

From: philh@comuno.freeserve.co.uk (phil hunt)
Subject: Herbrip-0.1.0 released
Date: Wed, 25 Jul 2001 10:35:08 CST
I have just released Herbrip version 0.1.0. Herbrip is the
"Herbivore Reference Implementation in Python".
Herbivore is an initiative to encourage more people to use
encrypted email. Many people are concerned about potential
infringements of privacy due to using insecure email, but don't
routinely use strong encryption because it is a hassle to set up
and use. Herbivore aims to reduce this hassle, making strong
encryption almost totally effort-free for the user.
Herbrip is a command-line implementation of the Herbivore
protocol. In the future, I plan to extend Herbrip's functionality
and integrate it into one or more open source email clients.
Herbrip is available from:
<http://www.vision25.demon.co.uk/oss/herbivore/herbrip.html>
The Herbivore home page is at:
<http://www.vision25.demon.co.uk/oss/herbivore/intro.html>
Herbrip is licenced under the GNU GPL.
