What Is 'twander'?
==================
'twander' is a macro-programmable Filesystem Browser which runs on both
Unix-like systems as well as Win32 systems. It embraces the best ideas
of both similar GUI-driven programs (Konqueror, Windows Explorer) as
well as text-based interfaces (Midnight Commander, List, Sweep).
Or, If You Prefer The "Elevator Pitch"
======================================
'twander' is:
- A better file browser for Unix and Win32. (Tested on FreeBSD, Linux, Win32.)
- A way to make browsing the same on all the OSs you use.
- A macro-programmable tool that lets *you* define the features.
- A GUI navigation front-end for your shell.
- A way to "can" workflows for your technically-challenged colleagues.
- A way to free yourself from the shackles of the mouse.
- A way to significantly speed up your day-to-day workflow.
- A Python/Tkinter application - about 3100/1300 lines of code/comments
- A RCT (Really Cool Tool) that will have you addicted in a day or two
See the web page for more information and a screen shot. Better still,
download the tarball and read the documentation.

Majesty: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim has gone gold.
Majesty is a unique sim putting you in the crushed velvet hotseat of
your own kingdom. With an epic quest before you, you make the decisions
of where to build your settlement`s guilds and temples. Each one has a
mind of its own and must be enticed to meet your goals, via rewards you
offer and spells you cast.
Meanwhile you must make sure that your treasury stays flush with cash to
support these and other outlays necessary to maintain a thriving
medieval town. The fact that you are being barraged by attacks from
mythical beasts and fantastic creatures doesn`t make your job any
easier.
Majesty comes with `Majesty: The Northern Expansion` mission pack, which
adds new quests, new buildings, and most importantly, a whole slew of
nasty new monsters!
A demo is available at http://demos.linuxgamepublishing.com/majesty
We expect to have the game available to buy within 2 weeks.

Subject: ANNOUNCE: web2ldap release 0.11.14
Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2003 08:27:05 CST
Reply-To: feedback@web2ldap.de
HI!
Find a new release of web2ldap on
http://www.web2ldap.de/download.html
with a few minor fixes and enhancements (see below).
About:
web2ldap is a full-featured LDAP client written in Python and designed to
run as a stand-alone Web gateway or under the control of a web server with
FastCGI or SCGI support (e.g., Apache with mod_fastcgi or mod_scgi).
Ciao, Michael.
web2ldap 0.11.14
Release Date: 2003-03-12
* Fixed default value handling of form parameter login_filterstr.
* Use operational attribute numSubordinates to determine whether an
entry is a leaf entry during recursive delete.
* Cleaned up some HTML/CSS mess. Hide some CSS rules from Netscape
Navigator 4.x and old MS IE. Stylesheets are not backward-compatible!
You have to upgrade the CSS files.
* Dropped support for host-/backend-specific parameters cache_maxmem
and cache_timeout since caching support was removed from python-ldap
anyway.
* Moved CSS files into separate sub-directory.
* Some documentation clean-ups.

Subject: Linux: NoteEdit: NTupels, Arpeggio

Version 2.1.0 of the musical score editor NoteEdit is available:
http://rnvs.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/~jan/noteedit/noteedit.html
New features:
1.) First of all: THE INTERFACE IS TOTALLY CHANGED! I eliminated
the middle mouse button (except X11-style copy-paste and
mouse wheel). This was requested by many users because of
the wheel mouse. But note: This causes a new problem because
now the left mouse button means insertion and selection.
The central point now is: How to avoid insertion by mistake.
If you are an "old" NoteEdit user: Please read the "List of
Changes" page:
http://rnvs.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/~jan/noteedit/changes.html
Otherwise: Frustration!
2.) Selection and modification of single notes
(instead of the whole chord) possible
3.) N-Tuplets (N in {3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10})
4.) Arpeggio
5.) Debian YACC configuration problem resolved
Problems with N-Tuplet exportation
==================================
- LilyPond: is best prepared for all kind of N-tuplets
- MusiXTeX: is prepared for triplets. It uses the "uptrio"
statement which produces a bracket with a small "3" in
the middle. For N-tuplets it uses the "xtuplet"
statement which produces the number without a bracket.
If the N-tuplet is beamed it looks like an
N-Tuplet. If not it looks like some notes with a number above.
It is your resposibility to mark the N-tuplet for instance
with a slur (or so ...)
- PMX: cannot deal with N-tuplets ending with a rest. Actually all
N-tuplet members must be of the same length, besides some
notes are as half as long as the others. PMX cannot deal with an
N-tuplet who's real playtime cannot be expressed by one
(eventually dotted) note.
- MUP: cannot deal with an N-tuplet who's real playtime cannot
be expressed by one (eventually dotted) note.
