Hash: SHA1
Vpncall is an extremely simple pptp (Point to Point Tunneling
Protocol) client for Linux, to be used in combination with pppd. The
very low CPU usage and small memory footprint make the program very
well fit for old hardware.
The program was developed to connect to a DSL modem through pptp.
The new version uses synchronous HDLC, eliminating the need for
checksums and reducing the CPU usage another 75%.

Greetings --
Over the next several months, the Rice Linux Users Group will be running
a six-course series on using Linux. The first of these courses,
"Introduction to Linux", will be held this Thursday 24 January at 6:30pm
in Duncan Hall 1046. There will be a Rice Linux Users Group meeting at
5:30, just before the course.
"Introduction to Linux" is intended to introduce people to Linux, and
reasons for running Linux. It is being offered in part in preparation
for the Linux Installfest on 2 February 2002. There will be a Linux
demo.
Visit http://linux.rice.edu/courses/ for more information on this and
other planned courses. Visit http://linux.rice.edu/installfest/ for
more information on the installfest.
Cheers,
Algis Rudys
Rice Linux Users Group

Reply-To: sood aaditya <ec98310@matrix.reccal.ernet.in>
This is an announcement about a new LUG in CREC, Kerela, India.
We run a LUG in CREC (Calicut Regional Engineering College, Kerela,
India) called CREC-LUG. Although there have been Linux users in the
college since about 1995, paradoxically the LUG was founded in Nov 2001!
That partly explains why we haven't had any meetings yet, the other
reason being the exams :-/.
The DNS to our server (called tux.reccal.ernet.in) is shaky and slow
(almost like the whole ERNET), so the site better be accessed at the IP
address. Mail however would come through.
Lug Name : CREC-LUG
Co-ordinator : aaditya sood <ec98310 at matrix.reccal.ernet.in>
Mailing List Url: http://202.41.105.20/mailman/listinfo/lug
Mailing List Subscribe : <lug-request at tux.reccal.ernet.in> or from the Mailing list Url
Mailing List Archives : http://202.41.105.20/pipermail/lug
Lug Website : http://202.41.105.20/
First Meeting : Sometime in Jan 2002
Local Resources : A mailing list+website+~150 people:)
So any of the alumni of the college, anyone near Calicut (or anyone
at all:)) is invited to join. Just send a mail to me for more info.
Happy hacking!

Subject: Announcing CodeSurfer 1.6 - now available for Linux!!!
Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2002 12:59:54 CST
GrammaTech announced today that it has released a new version of a
next-generation maintenance, understanding, inspection, and analysis
tool, CodeSurferŽ 1.6 for C, which fully supports the Linux operating
system for the first time. The new version also introduces some major
improvements to navigation, especially for types and macros.
CodeSurfer is useful for software understanding, inspection,
restructuring, maintenance, debugging, testing, feature extraction,
impact analysis, specialization, reuse, anomaly detection, and
security and safety assurance tasks.
CodeSurfer's powerful program-analysis techniques precompute program
properties allowing you to quickly and precisely analyze and
understand ANSI C source code. CodeSurfer is the first commercial tool
to provide precise interprocedural program slicing and pointer
analysis. CodeSurfer automatically generates hyperlinks in your
project so that navigating the dependences in your code is as easy as
surfing the web.
CodeSurfer's interprocedural program slicing is a technique that
reveals the deep structure within source code. A forward slice from
any point of interest shows all the code that is impacted by that
point of interest. A backward slice shows all the code that impacts
the point of interest.
CodeSurfer can help you understand the far-reaching effects of
statements in your program, which are not otherwise easily discovered.
CodeSurfer performs pointer analysis so it knows which pointers point
to which variables and procedures. CodeSurfer provides advanced
searching capabilities that take into account control flow, data flow,
and program structure to deliver precise query results.
Major New Features in CodeSurferŽ 1.6
*This version introduces the ability to inspect type information. A
variable's type is now shown in the property sheet for that variable.
You can also easily surf directly to the type definition to better
understand your data types.
*CodeSurfer allows you to surf to macro definitions from their use in
the code. Unlike most tools CodeSurfer builds with a given set of
preprocessor symbols so that you surf to the correct definition, even
though the macro may be defined several different ways in your code.
CodeSurfer can also provide the fully expanded macro.
*New functionality has been added to allow the user to easily do
queries on the points-to-set of actual parameters of functions.
*CodeSurfer 1.6 also provides enhanced scalability and build
performance.
Limited Time Offer
Until February 28, 2002 GrammaTech is offering the CodeSurfer
Node-Locked Entry Package for $495. A savings of $300.
On-Line Demonstrations
GrammaTech now offers live on-line CodeSurfer demonstrations via
WebEx. Please contact GrammaTech's Sales Department at
sales@grammatech.com to schedule your CodeSurfer demo or to obtain
additional information.
