Subject: blueMail 0.08 - a multi-format offline mail reader
I'm proud to announce new version 0.08 of blueMail which has a completely
usable Reply Manager now.
What is blueMail?
=================
blueMail is a multi-format offline mail reader for Unix, DOS, Win32, and
other systems.
It supports the Blue Wave and QWK packet formats, the Hudson Message Base,
Unix mail, Eudora and is designed to be a reasonable alternative to the
Blue Wave mail reader. It has a full screen, colored user interface built
with the curses library.
blueMail is free, "open source" software, distributed under the GNU
General Public License; its current maintainer is Ingo Brueckl
<ib@wupperonline.de>.
You can get the latest version from
http://home.wtal.de/ib/bluemail
where you can find binaries for Linux (Red Hat RPM), DOS and Windows, too.
Requirements
============
* Unix-compatible (POSIX) system, DOS with DJGPP, Cygwin with Windows, or
OS/2 with EMX
* curses -- tested with ncurses 1.9.3+, and PDCurses 2.2+
* gcc (g++) 2.7.0+ -- may work with other C++ compilers, not tested
* InfoZip, and/or other compressing archivers
* GNU make *may* be required on some systems
* PMODE/DJ (by Thomas Pytel and Matthias Grimrath) and UPX (by Markus
Oberhumer & Laszlo Molnar) is recommended (and used) for the DOS binary
What's new in this version?
===========================
You can find a list of new features and improvements in the history file
together with a list of new options for the configuration file since
version 0.01.
See INSTALL for the installation procedure, and the man page (bmail.1, or
bmail.doc for DOS, Windows or OS/2) for information on usage.
Tested Systems
==============
blueMail will run on multiple platforms, like
MSDOS 6.22 (DJGPP, PDCurses)
Linux 2.0, 2.2 (gcc, egcs, ncurses, PDCurses aka XCurses)
Windows 9x/NT (Cygwin, PDCurses)
and - untested -
OS/2 (emx, PDCurses)
NetBSD (ncurses)
Solaris (curses)
(Please understand that it is impossible to continuously test blueMail on
all platforms, so there may be bugs on platforms other than my developing
platform DOS, but I'll try to fix all bugs I'll be told.)
If you get it going on a dissimilar system, please let me know (along with
any necessary patches).

Subject: aylet 0.2 - a player for Spectrum `.ay' music files
Date: Mon, 17 Dec 2001 21:57:36 CST
aylet plays music files in the `.ay' format. These files are
essentially wrappers around bits of Z80 code which play music on the
Sinclair ZX Spectrum 128's sound hardware - the beeper, or the
AY-3-8912 sound chip, or both. (Files using the Amstrad CPC ports are
also supported.) There are front-ends for curses and X, both with much
the same features.
You can download it from here:
ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/apps/sound/players/aylet-0.2.tar.gz
There's also a web page here:
http://rus.members.beeb.net/aylet.html
0.2 is mainly a bugfix release (serves me right for calling the code
"mature" last time :-)), but also adds support for CPC files and
native OpenBSD sound.
* Changes in aylet 0.2
OUT instructions previously took too long, making some beeper tunes
(e.g. Heavy on the Magick) sound terribly slow - fixed.
New AY volume levels, which should more closely reflect actual AY
output.
Added support for CPC files.
A native sound driver for OpenBSD. Thanks to Chris Cox for this.
Fixed most clicking problems. There are still a few, but it's doing
much better than before.
Rewrote envelope emulation, the old one couldn't be made to cope with
high-speed envelopes (as used in some demos). Also fixes
presumably-accidental zero-period envelope use with `negative' volume
(e.g. Afterburner).
Fixed high-frequency noise.
Beeper tones inverted, so they're now the right way up. :-)
Changed field label from "Title" to "Misc" throughout. Some files use
it for Title, some Copyright, some both. So "Misc" is about the only
reasonable label.
Here's the LSM entry:
==========================================================================
Begin4
Title: aylet
Version: 0.2
Entered-date: 2001-12-11
Description: aylet plays music files in the `.ay' format. These
files are essentially wrappers around bits of Z80 code
which play music on the Sinclair ZX Spectrum 128's
sound hardware - either the beeper, or (eponymously)
the AY-3-8912 sound chip. (Files using the Amstrad CPC
ports are also supported.) There are command-line,
curses-based and X-based frontends.

Subject: Guikachu 1.0.1 and 1.1.0: GNOME Resource editor for PalmOS projects
Date: Mon, 17 Dec 2001 21:58:01 CST
Dear users of both large and small computing tools,
One weekend, two releases: it doesn't get better than that, does it?
Guikachu 1.0.1 is a bug-fix release of 1.0.0, and 1.1.0 "Dawn" is, in
fact, the dawn of the new development series.
About Guikachu
==============
Guikachu is a GNOME application for graphical editing of resource
files for PalmOS-based pocket computers. The user interface is
modelled after Glade, the GNOME UI builder.
Catch it all from http://cactus.rulez.org/projects/guikachu/
Features
========
* libXML-based I/O
* Exporting to PilRC .rcp files (compile with pilrc -H)
* String and string list resources
* Dialog resources
* Menu resources
* Form resources
* Per-application resources (e.g. version number)
* WYSIWYG Form Editor, with drag & drop capability
* XSLT style sheets and shell script to generate RCP files from
Guikachu documents
* Sample file with sample GNU PalmOS SDK-based application
* Documentation (a complete user's manual)
About these releases
====================
1.0.1 contains bugfixes by Havard Wigtil (thanks!).
1.1.0 has some UI improvements, numerous internal changes, and support
for string list resources.
Guikachu uses GTK-- and GNOME-- for its user interface. File I/O is
implemented via the libxml package. Dialog windows are loaded via
libglade. You will need the versions of these packages available in
the GNOME 1.4 bundle (with the exception of GNOME-- which you will
need to upgrade to version 1.2.0)
To actually create the PalmOS resource files, you will also need PilRC
(part of the GNU PalmOS SDK) to compile the .rpc files produced by
Guikachu.
To use the stand-alone Guikachu-to-RCP converter program, xsltproc
(part of the libxslt package) is required.
Beware of bugémons!

Subject: Udpcast 20011211 : Multicast OS installations and other data
Date: Mon, 17 Dec 2001 21:58:01 CST
Reply-To: alain@linux.lu
A new version of UDPCast has been released, and is available at
http://www.udpcast.linux.lu/ . Udpcast is a file transfer tool that
can send data simultaneously to many destinations. This can for
instance be used to install entire classrooms of PC's at once. The
advantage of UDPcast over using other methods (nfs, ftp, whatever) is
that UDPcast uses Ethernet's multicast abilities: it won't take longer
to install 15 machines than it would to install 2.
UDPcast can be started from the included SuSE linuxrc bootdisk (see
homepage) for OS installations, or from the command line when using it
for other purposes.
The following features have been added since the last version
announced at comp.os.linux.announce:
- ability to use multicast, rather than broadcast, in order to be less
of a strain on network resources (if switch supports IGMP snooping)
- performance tuning: we can now achieve speeds of up to 93 Mbps on a
100Mbps ethernet network (as long as the hard disk follows...)
- a special forward error correction (FEC) mode which is suitable for
situations where no return channel is available (communication from
the receiver back to the sender), or where such a return channel would
have a latency too high to be useful (satellite, etc.)
- a new full-duplex protocol mode to be used on switched networks.
- udpcast now automatically drops back to unicast if it detects that
there is only a single receiver.
- boot loader has the ability to specify that only one partition is to
be copied (former version always copied the entire hard disk), in
order not to loose time casting partitions that are empty or unneeded.
- boot loader upgraded to SuSE 7.3, with 2.4 kernel (better hardware
support)
- boot loader is now also bootable from CD (no need to have a second
image stored on NFS or on a second disk)
- boot loader now configures hard disk for DMA using hdparm, for
optimal read/write performance

Subject: satcom 0.5: GPL satellite tracker for Linux
Date: Mon, 17 Dec 2001 21:58:08 CST
Reply-To: Neoklis <neok@spidernet.com.cy>
I have just uploaded the first beta version of 'satcom', a ncurses-based
satellite tracking/communications aid for the Linux console, to my
web-site at http://leonardo.spidernet.net/Copernicus/22420/index.html
Satellite position and velocity are calculated using the NORAD SGP4 model
for near-earth and SDP4 for deep-space orbits. Other satellite parameters
like azimuth, elevation, slant range, range rate, latitude, longitude,
altitude, footprint, solar illumination, AOS/LOS time etc are also
calculated, using routines mainly ported from Dr. T. S. Kelso's sgp4-plb26a
Pascal library and from the 'predict' and 'trk' open-source satellite
tracking applications. As a secondary feature, the position of the moon
and sun are also calculated.
Various functions are available allowing single-satellite/single-observer,
multi-satellite/single-observer or single-satellite/multi-observer tracking,
satellite pass predictions, illumination predictions and Maidenhead Grid
Locator calculations. Satellites and observer locations of interest are
specified in database files allowing quick and easy change of the 'current'
satellite or location, as well as the satellite transponder to be used.
In addition satcom has a built-in serial port driver for the Yaesu GS-232
controller for the G-5500 Az/El rotors enabling automatic tracking of
antennas, as well as a serial port driver for the Yaesu FT-847 'Earth
Station' transceiver, providing CAT control of Tx/Rx frequencies including
Doppler compensation, Tx/Rx tracking and Tx/Rx mode matching.
satcom is released under the GPL but please see the COPYING file as well.

Subject: xboard and WinBoard 4.2.5 released
Date: Mon, 17 Dec 2001 21:58:14 CST
** Announcing the release of XBoard and WinBoard, version 4.2.5 **
A new release of both XBoard and WinBoard is now available. Version
4.2.5 corrects a few bugs in the 4.2.4 release. In addition, the
precompiled GNU Chess 5.02 that is bundled in the WinBoard 4.2.5
distribution includes a much smaller book and defaults to using much
less memory for hash tables. This makes the download smaller and
makes GNU Chess 5 runnable on computers with less memory. The large
book is now available from http://www.tim-mann.org/gnuchess.html as a
separate download for those who would like it.
Several new features contributed by various people are still in the
pipeline for a future release, as are several additions to the engine
communication protocol that have been discussed on the chess-engines
mailing list but which I have not implemented yet. I wanted to work
through my large backlog of small bug reports and fixes before moving
on to these larger items.
You can get both programs from my Chess page on the World Wide Web.
In addition, they should soon be available from GNU FTP sites.
- http://www.tim-mann.org/chess.html
- ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/xboard/
- ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/winboard/
XBoard is a graphical chessboard for the X Window System that can
serve as a user interface for GNU Chess, Crafty, and other chess
engines, for the Internet Chess Servers, and for electronic mail
correspondence chess. XBoard can also be used by itself. It can read
and write game files in PGN (portable game notation).
WinBoard is a similar program for 32-bit Microsoft Windows. It
includes all the major features of XBoard except email correspondence
chess.
Some known bugs and deficiencies in previous versions have not been
addressed. It is not necessary to report your favorite bug again if
you have reported it before, unless the ChangeLog erroneously says it
has been fixed. Most known bugs, deficiencies, and suggestions
received are now listed in the ToDo file. If you find a bug not
listed there, please report it to me.

Subject: ANNOUNCE: Intranet Logger released...
Date: Mon, 17 Dec 2001 21:58:22 CST
Intranet Logger is a suite of programs designed to centralize the parsing
and presentation of system logs generated by computers in an intranet. The
log data is pushed to the logging server by each client machine. The logging
server, in turn, maintains the information in an RDBMS and then responds to
queries via a http daemon interfaced to the RDBMS.
The log data is pushed to the logging server using shell scripts and nfs.
The log data is parsed at the server, suitably formatted for loading to the
database and then loaded. In its present state, this is done using Perl. The
RDBMS is MySQL, the httpd is Apache and the two are to be interfaced via
PHP.
This release captures the log data on clients, transfers the data to the
logging server where it is parsed and loaded into the DBMS.
Probably the most innovative feature is in the design of the database. It is
built of table 'families' consisting of a 'main' table and 'auxiliary'
tables that corresponds to each field in the main table that is not already
numeric or date/time in format. Unique text data strings are stored in the
auxiliary tables and the index numbers to the strings are stored in the
main.
The result is a drastic reduction in the size of the database on disk and
the means to almost eliminate endlessly repetitive text strings in the
stored data. There is also the speed payoff that comes from all the data in
the large tables being date/time or numeric.
If you find it only fractionally as cool as I do, I will be very pleased.

Subject: Heroes 0.18 - a game similar to "Tron" or "Nibbles"
Date: Mon, 17 Dec 2001 21:58:22 CST
I am pleased to announce the release of Heroes 0.18
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
This version adds Allegro (a game programming library) to the set of
supported libraries, meaning it's now possible to configure Heroes for
three different engines: GGI, SDL, or Allegro.
This version requires at least Heroes-data-1.4 (released a few days
ago) because two languages (German and French) have been updated to
use Latin-1 characters (new in Heroes-data-1.4). Note you will have
to upgrade to Heroes-data-1.4 even if you don't use these locales.
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 needs to
be done and for which understanding the full source tree is not a
prerequisite.

The apsfilter developement team proudly presents apsfilter 7.0.1
Details see:

The quick update was necessary, since HP released a new HPIJS
driver v 1.0, which is incompatible to the old release with
respect to driver name and commandline handling.
We added some more things and fixes for bjc800 and more sanity
checks in SETUP.
The old tar files and diffs have been removed to force users

Subject: OpenScheme 1.3.8 available
Date: Mon, 17 Dec 2001 21:58:50 CST
Erian Concept is glad to announce OpenScheme 1.3.8
SITE:
http://www.open-scheme.com
NEWS:
- Tail recursion optimization
- Improved GC, not yet generational
- Bug fixes
REGISTRATION
OpenScheme does not now require a license number to run. Therefore,
registration is required to obtain a free support.
WHAT IS OPEN-SCHEME ?
OpenScheme is a Scheme interpreter/compiler/debugger conform to the
R5RS standard (only scheme-report-environment, null-environment are
not supported)
It is available for Intel PC with Linux, BeOS [(r) Be, Inc], FreeBSD,
Solaris, or Windows [(R) Microsoft]. Since the user sees the same API
interface, cross-development is easy and immediate.
OpenScheme integrates a lot of interesting features, such as a regular
expression parser, object oriented system, CLOS based, console Object
Oriented interface, an standardized Operating System access, a
preemptive timer library that is thread compatible.
A low-level set of primitives and a OO graphical library are now
available. The OO graphical library is entirely written in Scheme. It
provides all the common Widgets.
OpenScheme is open to the net: A NET plugin provides all the necessary
functions to access to the net, such as Sockets, Crypt, Encode, Mail,
CGI, ...
A fully relational database engine is also provided in the
professional edition. It allows to handle any number of files, large
objects, objects with variable size, files larger than 4Go.
OpenScheme includes an interpreter that performs on-flow compilation
and a compiler that produces pure ANSI C. It also includes a command
line symbolic debugger.
OpenScheme allows to put in the same source file high level Object
Oriented code, standard Scheme, C and assembly (that breaks
portability). This feature provides an impressive power to the
development environment.
Therefore, OpenScheme does not have yet an integrated graphical user
interface. This is planned.
OpenScheme is commercially supported by:
Erian Concept, SARL
7-11, av Raymond FERAUD
06200 - Nice - FRANCE
Phone: +33 493 212 93
WEB : www.erian-concept.com
email: osm.support@erian-concept.com
OpenScheme is distributed in four editions:
-Free WEB edition: fully functional interpreter version, with plain
HTML documentation. This version does not include the development
kit. It can be freely distributed (distributor may request a special
license number).
-Standard edition: This version allows to have profits and to sold all
derivated products, royalties free. A technical support is provided by
Erian Concept.
-Professional edition: This edition includes the paper manuals, the
