From: "SANFACE Software" <sanface@sanface.com>
Subject: SHAREWARE: txt2pdf 5.7
Date: Thu, 16 May 2002 10:05:29 CST

Most of your documents are text files. Usually, your reports from legacy
applications, DBs, ERP applications and datawarehouse are textual.
txt2pdf allows you to take those old text files and turn them into PDF's
using only PERL, which means you don't even need to pass the data
through PostScript first.

You can run txt2pdf on any system that runs PERL, but it has been tested
and is verified to work on many operating systems.
etxt2pdf is the executable version of txt2pdf. It's been specially
compiled for those users who simply can't or don't want to run PERL on
their systems. It has all the functionality of the original perl
version, and is merely distributed in binary form for your convenience.
We currently have 5 executable versions: Windows, Linux, Solaris, AIX,
HP-UX, Mac OS X.
If you're interested in a binary for another operating system, such as
FreeBSD please let us know, and we'll send you one. With enough
requests, we'll also add one here permanently. Please note that the
Windows version comes with an extra tool known as Visual txt2pdf.

Here are some of the things that you can achieve with txt2pdf:
You can mark coloured (using PERL regular expressions) phrases in the
produced PDF files.
You can mark bold, italic and bold italic phrases in the produced
PDFfiles.
You can add page numbers on every page.
You can add text at the beginning and at the end of every file.
You can add a border to every page.
Internet specific phrases such as http://... ftp://...
mailto:...file:... ldap:... news:... will automatically be made into
clickable URL's.
You can create a link to a specific age within a PDF document by simply
adding http://...pdfdocument#pdfmark
Every word like MIME:... will automatically become a link that will
launch the correct application to open that file.
You can use background and foreground layers.
All predefined encodings (WinAnsiEncoding, MacRomanEncoding,
MacExpertEncoding, PDFDocEncoding) supported by the PDF format and the
Unix default are supported by txt2pdf.
It's possible to rerun txt2pdf infinitely (every configured second,
sleep feature) on a specific directory (and also it's recursive
directories) moving the produced PDF to a specific directory, and the
original text to a specific directory.
txt2pdf supports STDIN and STDOUT.
EPD 1.0 support.  You can use EPD inside the background layer.
A License is ONLY $99.
SANFACE Software is going to give you a free license for every good idea
or good modify to txt2pdf.

txt2pdf is shareware
The txt2pdf source code is our company core business.
We trust you.
You can test text2pdf and modify it.
You can't use a modify version of txt2pdf for production purpose. You
can't resell txt2pdf or a modify version of it without SANFACE Software
authorization.
You can't copy part of it to include in your source without SANFACE
Software authorization.
  
What's new in this version
  
Corrected a little bug into PDF date info (thanks David Norman). 
txt2pdf.vim 2.0 inside contributed directory: VIM plugin to save and
convert the edited text to PDF clicking a button!
Visual txt2pdf 2.2 

Test txt2pdf 5.7!
You can find it at http://www.sanface.com/txt2pdf.html
Don't forget txt2pdf 5.x PRO at

Subject: ADMIN ndd=network dd; clones files (partitions) to many hosts over
Date: Thu, 16 May 2002 10:05:48 CST

Hello, 

ndd is a network version of dd, which clones a file (partition), to many 
hosts simultaneously, primarily using UDP broadcasts. 

I have not tested cloning a real partition yet, but it should work if the
disks are exactly the same. In other cases, some fiddling with fdisk (?)
will probably be necessary. GPLed. Pre-beta - I just finished the first
working version with little testing.

Suggestions welcome!

Hi all

I have created a new site for linux admins, mainly about networking
and firewalling but it will grow. The website is called linux-problems
because is liked the irony in the name. If anyone have a problem
please feel free to post it to the message boards. Dont worry that not
many people are listed you should still get an answer. and every good
resource must start somewhere.

If anyone has anything that they would like to see on the site or any
help they can offer please contact me.

Subject: ANN: Open Watcom 0.8.0 source code release!
Date: Thu, 16 May 2002 10:06:07 CST

Hi All,

Today is a great day! We have just uploaded the first source code 
archive release of the Open Watcom Project! We have called this version 
of the code the 0.8.0 release, since we can't consider it the 1.0 
release until all the code is there and it can compile with the Watcom 
11.0c compiler. To date nearly all of the code under the \bld directory 
is there, along with batch files to set up build environments for 
Windows and OS/2 machines. Some stuff is missing (noteably all the 
Fortran source code), but it will be committed to the Open Watcom tree 
over the next few weeks. Also some source files could well have been 
broken during the process of attaching the Open Watcom project copyright 
header information. If you find any broken files, please let us know!

Also although you cannot simply run a full build right now, you can 
pretty much go into any directory and run 'wmake' with the 11.0c 
compiler installed on your machine (once you copy edit the \setvars.bat 
file of course!) on most projects and they will build. Naturally there 
are many dependencies on libraries etc, but it is easy enough to see 
which library it is requiring, CD to that directory and run wmake in 
that directory also. Eventually of course we will have the full build 
system working so that you can just say 'go' and it will all build ;-)

But the good news is that the source code has arrived! This is a *HUGE* 
amount of source code that has been released. This ZIP files contains 
over 18,000 source code files totalling nearly 78MB of just source code 
(no binaries!). It compresses down to about 28MB for the current ZIP 
file archive, and includes source code for so many things it would be 
difficult to list them all (just think, compiler, linker, assembler, 
editor, IDE, debugger, POSIX command line tools and much more!). Also 
note that included is full source code to the DEC Alpha compiler, which 
we built and quickly tested a week or so ago and it produced working 
code that ran under Windows NT 4.0 on a DEC Alpha machine ;-)

For more information see:

http://www.openwatcom.org
ftp://ftp.openwatcom.org/watcom/openwatcom

Remember, this is a *LOT* of source code. If you are not willing to get 
your hands dirty figuring things out for yourself, don't bother 
downloading the code. We can't answer 50,000 emails about how to 
compiler Open Watcom, and won't. So use at your own risk. But most of 
all:

ENJOY!!

Note: We have to extend a big thank you to Sybase and the people at 
Sybase that worked diligently with us over the years to finally make 
Open Watcom a reality. They know who they are, so "Thanks guys!".

Subject: NYC Local:  InstallFest    NYLXS!
Date: Thu, 16 May 2002 10:06:40 CST

The New Graduates of NYLXS' GNU/Linux One Class are proud to throw their
first Install Fest.

The Fest will start 1:00 pm Sunday 12 May 2002.
The Fest will end   6:00 pm Sunday 12 May 2002.

The Fest will be at

3 Jewels Internet Cafe
211 East 5th Street
Island of the Manahattoes
New York City
United States of America


This Install Fest is made possible through the work and kind generosity of
the Graduates and their Teacher Ruben of NYLXS and our Host Forrest of
3 Jewels Internet Cafe.


For further information:

http://www.nylxs.com


Here is general information about Install Fests:

Hardware: Bring the boxes on which you wish to run a Free OS.

Software: Bring whatever distribution CDs, boot and rescue disks, boot
          managers, tiny distributions, manuals, and anything else you
          want.

Important: Everything done to/with any computer at any Install Fest,
           and in particular, at this Install Fest, is done at the
           specific request of the owner of the computer.  As with
           all human endeavor, there is some risk of catastrophe.
           Back up all your data, before coming to the Fest!  In addition,
           make a list of all hardware and media you bring to the Fest,
           and check that you have all your hardware and media when you
           leave the Fest.

From: Frank Heckenbach <frank@g-n-u.de>
Subject: GPC 2.1 - GNU Pascal compiler
Date: Thu, 16 May 2002 10:06:40 CST

This is the announcement of

    GNU Pascal, version 2.1

which is now available from

    http://www.gnu-pascal.de/current/

Binaries for some platforms are available in a subdirectory

    http://www.gnu-pascal.de/binary/

Binaries for more platforms will follow soon and will be announced
on the GPC mailing list which is archived at

    http://www.gnu-pascal.de/crystal/gpc/en/


About GNU Pascal
================

The GNU Pascal Compiler (GPC) is part of the GNU compiler family,
GNU CC or GCC. It combines a Pascal front-end with the proven GNU C
back-end for code generation and optimization. Unlike utilities such
as p2c, this is a true compiler, not just a converter.

The purpose of the GNU Pascal project is to produce a Pascal
compiler which

* combines the clarity of Pascal with powerful tools suitable
  for real-life programming,

* supports both the Pascal standard and the Extended Pascal
  standard as defined by ISO, ANSI and IEEE (ISO 7185:1990,
  ISO/IEC 10206:1991, ANSI/IEEE 770X3.160-1989),

* supports other Pascal standards (UCSD Pascal, Borland Pascal,
  parts of Borland Delphi and Pascal-SC) in so far as this
  serves the goal of clarity and usability,

* may be distributed under GNU license conditions, and

* can generate code for and run on any computer for which the
  GNU C compiler can generate code and run on.

Pascal was originally designed for teaching. GNU Pascal provides a
smooth way to proceed to challenging programming tasks without
learning a completely different language.

The current release GPC 2.1 implements Standard Pascal (ISO 7185,
levels 0 and 1), a large subset of Extended Pascal (ISO 10206,
aiming for full compliance), is highly compatible to Borland Pascal
(version 7.0) with some Delphi extensions, and provides a lot of
useful GNU extensions.

For more information about GNU Pascal, see

    http://www.gnu-pascal.de


Changes since the previous release
==================================

The previous release (GPC 2.0) was more than five years ago. Since
then, there have been numerous alpha and beta versions and literally
hundreds of new features and bug fixes. Trying to list them here,
even if only as a summary, would be far beyond the scope of such an
announcement. You can find descriptions of the new features since
1999-01-18 at

    http://www.gnu-pascal.de/current/news-2.1.html

and a detailed list of all new features and bug fixes since
1997-11-01 at

    http://www.gnu-pascal.de/current/done-2.1.html

In short, a large number of bugs have been fixed, so GPC 2.1 works
much more stable than its predecessor versions. Also, many relics
that made it sometimes look somewhat like a C compiler rather than a
Pascal compiler have been cleared up.

Compared to GPC 2.0, the support of ISO 7185 Standard Pascal as well
as Borland Pascal has been mostly completed. Borland Pascal support
includes object oriented programming and a set of compatibility
units.

Much of ISO 10206 Extended Pascal is now supported, including schema
types (i.e., types whose size can vary at runtime), complex numbers,
set extensions and more.

Some features of other Pascal standards and dialects are supported,
such as operator overloading (Pascal-SC) and some OOP extensions
(Delphi).

GPC also contains many extensions not found in other Pascal
compilers, e.g. to ease the interfacing with C and other languages
in a portable way, and to work with files, directories, dates and
more, mostly independent of the underlying operating system.

A number of useful units is included with GPC, such as `RegEx'
(regular expressions), `GMP' (arithmetic with integer, rational and
real numbers of unlimited size), `Trap' (trapping runtime errors),
`Intl' (internationalization), `Pipe' (inter-process communication),
`MD5' (message digests) and many more. GPC includes a number of demo
programs to show the usage of these units and of many compiler
features.

Further units, Pascal programs and other 3rd party contributions can

WHAT IS ARCHMBOX?

Archmbox is a simple email archiver written in perl; it parses one or more
regular mbox format mailboxes and performs specific actions. Originally, it
only archived  all messages older than a specified date but support for regular
expression based archiviation is now available. The option to show the result
of the archiving processes before the real archiving takes place was also
added. All archived messages are stored in a new mailbox with the same name of
the original one + .archived as extension (this is the default, but can be
changed). Messages are appended to the archive mailbox to allow multiple
executions of the script against the same mailbox.
If used interactively, it is useful to first list messages, then (by checking
the --list output) select which messages to archive (by date offset or regexp
rules), and then actually perform archiving.
