Subject: New MT library announce

Hi all
I have released the first working release of libmtrwe, a C library
aimed at solving the producer/consumer problem. It has been programmed and
tested under Linux using LinuxThreads (pthread_create). Documentation and
examples included. I'm always looking for help and advice.

Main features
* Circular shared buffer
* Support for 3 encoding routines apart from producer and consumer
* User-definable producer and consumer
* 4 buffering types available

Missing
* On-the-fly definition of buffer sizes
* Signal handling
* ...

The tarball can be found at the following address:
http://cowo.mascanc.net

From: "Gerard Ridgway" <Gerard@btinternet.com>
Subject: Initinf -- Get Inits from .inf Files

Initinf is a Perl script that processes Microsoft driver.inf files for
modems.

It reports the initialisation strings (like AT&F&C1&D2 etc.) for each
modem of each manufacturer listed in the file.

It is still in testing, and I would appreciate any feedback as to
whether or not it worked for you. (If it fails, could you e-mail me
the .inf file that caused the failure, please)

There are versions for Linux and also Windows (under ActiveState Perl
5.6) and a tar archive with both, and some output from running it on
the Windows/inf directory.

Check out:  www.one.btinternet.co.uk/initinf/

Thanks,

Ged.

From: "Patrick J. LoPresti" <patl@users.sourceforge.net>
Subject: Userspace ECC, first public release

A couple of weeks ago, I was looking for ways to check the ECC status
of my ServerWorks motherboards from Linux, and I did not find anything
suitable.  Since I do not like C, I went ahead and just wrote my own
tool in Perl.  I wrote support for the ServerWorks LE based on the
Cobalt Linux kernel patches.

I also wrote support the ServerWorks HE based on Alexander Stohr's
patches to Rico Tudor's tool, but I have no way to test it myself.

Finally, I wrote support for the Intel LX, GX, BX, and 80820 (Camino),
because those make up most of the workstations I need to monitor.

I created a SourceForge project because it seemed like fun.  The home
page is:

                 http://uecc.sourceforge.net/

I designed uecc to be very easy to extend to new chipsets; see the
source code if you are curious.  Since it is written in Perl, it
should not be too hard to port to other operating systems as well.

 - Pat

Subject: CONFERENCE: Florida statewide FACUG - 13 October

The Polk County LUG will be presenting one of the roundtable
discussions at the fall statewide conference for FACUG (Florida
Association of Computer Users Groups - http://www.facug.org/) 
Saturday, October 13 in Mulberry (just south of Lakeland). 

Our topic is integrating Open Source solutions - in business,
institutions, and at home.

The panel will consist of 

        Adam Glass (FLUX, Ft. Lauderdale)
        Anthony Awtrey (MLUG, Melbourne)
        Ed Centanni (SLUG, Tampa)
        Steve Litt (LEAP, Orlando) 
        Henry White (PCLUG, Lakeland)

Naturally, you and the all Linux users are cordially invited to
attend!  The schedule and registration forms are at

        http://www.facug.org/01fallroundtable.htm
        http://www.facug.org/01fallreg.htm

It's impossible to adequately cover everything we would like to in
the allotted 80-90 minutes, so we're preparing a handout with an
extensive, annotated list of links for further information.  That's
where we could really use your input ;-) If you have a good source
for anything related to integrating Open Source into a Windows
environment, let me know and I'll try to include as many of them as
I can.  If the information is not currently online, we'll try to
get it online before the conference in October.

This is a semi-annual conference primarily for training new
officers and leaders, and is open to ALL users regardless of OS or
membership in FACUG. Previous conferences have had essentially the
same schedule of roundtables over one or two days, and attendance
has historically been 120-150.  

At the moment, there is no current list of vendors who will be
there.  There is a list online at http:/www.facug.org/vendurls.htm  
from those that participated in the spring conference 
and previous ones.  I know that O'Reilly, SSC (Linux Journal), 
IBM, LinuxCare and many other Linux vendors have been invited. 

At the very least, we plan to have a copy of a current distribution 
for everyone who registers, as well as the annotated links
mentioned above, a list of the LUGs around the state (website,
contact person, meeting schedule), and several working machines 
for demos.

This is an automated report about activity of our newsgroup
comp.os.linux.announce. It covers period between the 
previous report and the current one, ending 
on Mon Sep  3 00:05:01 CDT 2001.

Note that we do not report the number of articles cancelled
after they got approved, because the cancellations are done
manually. Typically messages get cancelled by requests of
posters themselves.

Lastly, the statistics below are skewed towards higher numbers because
there are always some test messages from moderators themselves who
approve and reject them to make sure that our robomoderator functions
properly.

Subject: Xforge 0.2.2 - a wave editor


Xforge 0.2.2, a graphical wave editor, is available.

Xforge needs X11R5 on Unix, Motif (Lesstif also works but you may have
some problems), and OSS compatible audio drivers for audio output.
Version 0.2.2 was successfully compiled and ran on (with or without
audio support):

    o HP-UX 10.20 (HP K360)
    o NetBSD 1.4.2 (Sun Sparcstation 1+)
    o SunOS 5.8 (Sun Ultra 60, gcc)

Xforge used to work on following platforms (they have not been tested
lately):

    o AIX 4.3.1.0 (rs6000)
    o Digital Unix 4.0 (alpha)
    o FreeBSD 2.2.6-RELEASE (i386)
    o IRIX 6.3 (SGI O2)
    o Solaris 2.6 (sparc)
    o Unixware 7.0.1 (i386)

Version 0.2.2 fixes some severe bugs and adds free resampling.

Xforge source is available on the Xforge web site:
