Subject: Cxref - C program cross-referencing & documentation tool
Date: Mon, 13 May 2002 10:34:35 CST
C Cross Referencing & Documenting tool. Version 1.5d - cxref
============================================================
Cxref is a program that will produce documentation (in LaTeX, HTML, RTF or SGML)
including cross-references from C program source code.
Works for ANSI C, including most gcc extensions.
The documentation for the program is produced from comments in the code that
are appropriately formatted. The cross referencing comes from the code itself
and requires no extra work.
The documentation is produced for each of the following:
Files - A comment that applies to the whole file.
Functions - A comment for the function, including a description of
each of the arguments and the return value.
Variables - A comment for each of a group of variables and/or
individual variables.
#include - A comment for each included file.
#define - A comment for each pre-processor symbol definition, and
for macro arguments.
Type definitions - A comment for each defined type and for each element of a
structure or union type.
Any or all of these comments can be present in suitable places in the
source code.
The cross referencing is performed for the following items
Files - The files that the current file is included in
(even when included via other files).
#includes - Files included in the current file.
- Files included by these files etc.
Variables - The location of the definition of external variables.
- The files that have visibility of global variables.
- The files / functions that use the variable.
Functions - The file that the function is prototyped in.
- The functions that the function calls.
- The functions that call the function.
- The files and functions that reference the function.
- The variables that are used in the function.
Each of these items is cross referenced in the output.
Includes extensive README and FAQ with details and examples on how to use the
program.
Changes
=======
Since version 1.5c:
Bug fixes
Fixes to HTML and SGML outputs (invalid character entities). Fix bug that
stopped -R/ from working. Fix links to HTML source files in certain cases.
Keep the sign of negative numbers in #define output. Improve the lex code
(flex -s). Add some missing ';' to yacc code. Fix the bison debugging
output.
Configure/Make changes
Fix Makefile to compile using non-GNU make programs.
Add flex specific options to the Makefile if using it.
Fixes for build/configure outside the source tree.
Include DESTDIR in the Makefile to help installation.
Configure makes a guess what to do with cxref-cpp if gcc is not installed.
GCC changes
Accept the gcc-3.0 __builtin_va_list type as-if it were a valid C type.
Handle the GCC __builtin_va_arg extension keyword.
Handle the GCC floating point hex extension data format.
Allow the use of gcc-3.x instead of the cxref-cpp program.
Availability
============
Previous versions of this program have been tested on the following systems:
Linux 1.[123].x, Linux 2.[01234].x, SunOS 4.1.x, Solaris 2.x, HPUX 10.x

Subject: mod_roaming 2.0.0 - a Netscape Roaming Access module for Apache
Date: Mon, 13 May 2002 10:34:27 CST
With mod_roaming you can use your Apache webserver as a Netscape
Roaming Access server. This allows you to store your Netscape
Communicator 4.5 preferences, bookmarks, address books, cookies etc.
on the server so that you can use (and update) the same settings from
any Netscape Communicator 4.5 that can access the server.
This version has been ported to Apache 2.0 and also works on Windows,
Netware and OS/2. Binaries for those platforms are now available.

Subject: First release of phatcat, an enhanced and cleaned up netcat
Date: Mon, 13 May 2002 10:34:42 CST
Hello,
This is the first release (version 0.0.8) of phatcat. With this release
we would like to see the acceptance and interest of the public for such
code.
What is phatcat?
phatcat is _heavily_ modified and extended version of netcat originally
written by *Hobbit* <hobbit@avian.org>. Several people tried to
incorporate patches but somehow never got a response, including me.
Being tired of having a huge patch archive for such a neat tool I
decided to take the existing code and modify it to my liking.
Together with a friend of mine, we had an indepth look at the code and
decided that this could be improved. We incorporated patches, like
improved '-e' parsing, encryption and fixed a lot of security related
issues. About 85% of the code is already rewritten. We also took
ourselves the freedom to break the support for nearly every Unix out
there. We will only port this to the most used (in our opinion) Unices:
GNU/Linux, *BSD, Solaris, maybe HP/UX.
If you're interested, get yourself a copy at:
http://www.drugphish.ch/projects/network/phatcat/index.html
Best regards,
Roberto Nibali, ratz

What: BayPIGgies (Silicon Valley Python users group) meeting
When: Wednesday, 8 May 2002, 7:30-9 PM
Where: Coco's Restaurant, 1209 Oakmead Pkwy, Sunnyvale, CA
Agenda: Eating Out with Python (Python round table)
Speaker: everyone...
The host (and BayPIGgies volunteer) for our normal meetings at
Python will be out of the country, so we will be gathering at a
local restaurant for a Python round table. We will be at the
Coco's Restaurant in Sunnyvale on the Lawrence Expressway and
Oakmead Parkway right off US-101.
Yahoo! Map/Driving Directions (gee... i wonder what language
they use to build their CGI-oriented scripts...):
http://yp.yahoo.com/py/ypMap.py?Pyt=Typ&tuid=9803594&ck=1088317771
The round table is totally informal and ranges from current
topics and news from the Python community or recent newsgroup
postings, talking about Python and how it is used in some of
your projects, or to help those are making an effort to learn
about a new area of Python programming they are exploring.
If we finish early, those who are interested may head to the
Digital Guru bookstore or Fry's Electronics. Both are within
1-2 minutes by car from the restaurant.
Come along to join in having dinner *and* being able to talk
about your favorite development language... and be sure to
invite friends and co-workers along who may be interested in
Python. Hope to see you there!

Subject: Guikachu 1.1.8 "Bazookas in Kindergarten": GNOME Resource editor
Dear users of both large and small computing tools,
A new development release of Guikachu is available.
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)
* Support for non-PalmOS PilRC targets (like the eBookMan)
* 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 and visual resizing
* 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
====================
This release, while containing lots of other goodies, is mostly a big
step because it finally solves the encoding issues that have been a
looming disaster ever since 0.1.
Note that although it's slowly getting to the 1.2 beta cycle, 1.1.x is
still the development series. Bugs may occur, the documentation may
not be in sync with the real features, build may fail. To fix these
issues, it's important to get user feedback, so even if you're using
1.0 day-to-day, give 1.1 a spin and file bugs at
http://bugzilla.gnome.org.
Guikachu uses GTK-- and GNOME-- for its user interface. File I/O is
implemented via the libxml package. Dialog windows are loaded via
libglade. GConf is used to store user preferences. 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: Emacspeak-16.0 (CleverDog) Unleashed!
Emacspeak-16.0 (CleverDog) Unleashed!
----------------------------------
For Immediate Release:
San Jose, Calif., (May 4, 2002)
Emacspeak-2002: Empowering Experienced Users
--Zero cost of ownership makes priceless software affordable!
Emacspeak Inc (NASDOG: ESPK) --http://emacspeak.sf.net--
announces the immediate world-wide availability of Emacspeak
16.0 --a powerful audio desktop for leveraging today's
evolving semantic WWW.
Investors Note:
===============
With several prominent analysts recently initiating coverage, NASDOG:
ESPK is now trading over the net at levels close to that recently
attained by last year's DogCom high-fliers.
What Is It?
===========
Emacspeak is a fully functional audio desktop that provides
complete eyes-free access to all major 32 and 64 bit operating
environments. By seamlessly blending all aspects of the Internet
such as Web-surfing and electronic messaging into the audio
desktop, Emacspeak enables speech access to local and remote
information with a consistent and well-integrated user
interface. A rich suite of task-oriented tools provides efficient
speech-enabled access to the evolving semantic WWW.
Major Enhancements:
===================
1) Implements a prototype DAISY Digital Talking Book reader.
2) Speech enables W3M --an alternate WWW browser.
3) Speech enabled support for IMCom, a Python Jabber client.
4) XML Shell using XMLLint for browsing XML.
5) Speech-enables analog.el -- powerful log analyzer.
6) Simple speech-enabler for periodic table of elements.
7) Pronunciation dictionaries can be editted via an Emacs/Custom interface.
8) Wizards for viewing XLS and PPT files.
9) New WebSearch tools.
10) New URL templates.
See the NEWS file for additional details.
Establishing Freedom:
=====================
All of Emacspeak is now voluntarily bundled with all major Linux
distributions. Though designed to be modular, distributors have
freely chosen to bundle the entire system without any undue
pressure. The integrity of the Emacspeak codebase is ensured by the
reliable and secure Linux platform used to develop the software.
Extensive studies have shown that thanks to these features, users
consider Emacspeak to be absolutely priceless. Thanks to this
wide-spread user demand, the present version is being made available
at the same zero-cost as earlier releases.
At the same time, Emacspeak-2002 continues to innovate in the
area of speech interaction and carries forward the
well-established Open Source tradition of introducing user
interface features that eventually show up in commercial user
environments. On this theme, when once challenged by a proponent
of a crash-prone but well-marketed windowing system with the
assertion "Emacs is a system from the 70's", the creator of
Emacspeak expressed surprise at the unusual candor manifest in
the assertion that it would take popular idiot-proven interfaces
until the year 2070 to catch up to where the Emacspeak audio
desktop is today. Industry experts welcomed this refreshing
breath of Courage Certainty and Clarity (CCC) at a time when
users are reeling from the Fear Uncertainty and Doubt (FUD)
unleashed by complex software systems backed by even more
convoluted press releases.
Independent Test Results:
=========================
Independent test results have proven that unlike some modern software,
Emacspeak can be safely uninstalled without adversely affecting the
continued performance of the computer. These same tests also revealed
that once uninstalled, the user stopped functioning altogether.
Speaking with Aster Labrador, the creator of Emacspeak once pointed
out that these results re-emphasize the user-centric design of
Emacspeak; "It is the user --and not the computer-- that stops
functioning when Emacspeak is uninstalled!".
Note from Aster and Bubbles:
============================
UnDoctored Videos Inc. is currently looking for volunteers to
star in a video demonstrating such complete user failure.
Obtaining Emacspeak:
====================
Emacspeak can be downloaded from sourceforge --see
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/emacspeak/ You can visit
Emacspeak on the WWW at http://emacspeak.sf.net or
http://www.cs.cornell.edu/home/raman/emacspeak.
You can subscribe to the emacspeak mailing list
emacspeak@cs.vassar.edu by sending mail to the list request
address emacspeak-request@cs.vassar.edu. The latest
development snapshot of Emacspeak is available via anonymous
CVS from sourceforge.
History:
========
Emacspeak-16.0 --code named CleverDog-- is the follow-up to SmartDog
--and continues the tradition of working better, faster, smarter.
Emacspeak-15.0 --code named SmartDog--followed up on TopDog as the
next in a continuing a series of award-winning audio desktop releases
from Emacspeak Inc. Emacspeak-14.0 --code named TopDog--was the first
release of this millennium. Emacspeak-13.0 --codenamed YellowLab--
was the closing release of the 20th. century. Emacspeak-12.0 --code
named GoldenDog-- began leveraging the evolving semantic WWW to
provide task-oriented speech access to Webformation. Emacspeak-11.0
--code named Aster-- went the final step in making Linux a zero-cost
Internet access solution for blind and visually impaired
users. Emacspeak-10.0 --(AKA Emacspeak-2000) code named WonderDog--
continued the tradition of award-winning software releases designed to
make eyes-free computing a productive and pleasurable
experience. Emacspeak-9.0 --(AKA Emacspeak 99) code named BlackLab--
continued to innovate in the areas of speech interaction and
interactive accessibility. Emacspeak-8.0 --(AKA Emacspeak-98++) code
named BlackDog-- was a major upgrade to the speech output extension to
Emacs.
Emacspeak-95 (code named Illinois) was released as OpenSource on
the Internet in May 1995 as the first complete speech interface
to UNIX workstations. The subsequent release, Emacspeak-96 (code
named Egypt) made available in May 1996 provided significant
enhancements to the interface. Emacspeak-97 (Tennessee) went
further in providing a true audio desktop. Emacspeak-98
integrated Internetworking into all aspects of the audio desktop
to provide the first fully interactive speech-enabled WebTop.
About Emacspeak:
================
Based at Cornell (NY) http://www.cs.cornell.edu/home/raman
--home to Auditory User Interfaces (AUI) on the WWW-- and
SourceForge --http://emacspeak.sf.net-- Emacspeak is mirrored
world-wide by an international network of software archives
and bundled voluntarily with all major Linux distributions. On
Monday, April 12, 1999, Emacspeak became part of the
Smithsonian's Permanent Research Collection on Information
Technology at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American
History.
The Emacspeak mailing list is archived at Vassar --the home of the
Emacspeak mailing list-- thanks to Greg Priest-Dorman, and provides a
valuable knowledge base for new users.
Press/Analyst Contact: Hubbell Labrador
BubbleDog acknowledges her monopoly on the future direction
the the Emacspeak Audio Desktop, and promises to exercise
her power responsibly (as before) going forward.
About This Release:
==================
According to Hubbell Labrador, this release does not contain
the much-vaunted SmartTag feature --despite the codename.
Emacspeak Inc. promises to introduce SmartDogs soon based on
customer demand.
Windows-Free (WF) is a favorite battle-cry of The League Against
Forced Fenestration (LAFF). --see
