Subject: BricsCAD goes Linux (fwd)
========== Forwarded message ==========
BricsCad, the market leader in low cost DWG CAD software, today
announced the beta release of BricsCad for Linux. The product is based
on the IntelliCAD kernel.
BricCad for Linux is an "almost clone" of AutoCAD(r). BricsCad uses the
exact same DWG drawing format as AutoCAD(r). Drawings made by BricsCad
can be read by AutoCAD(r) and the other way round.
BricsCad for Linux addresses the untapped group of individual and
corporate professional CAD users in the LINUX community allowing them to
use their operating system of choice without being locked out from the
professional Engineering world and the DWG standard.
The full press release can be found on our website :
English version : http://www.bricscad.com
French version : http://www.bricscad.com?site=33
German version : http://www.bricscad.com?site=49
Interested beta-testers are invited to contact BricsCad at
mailto:linux@bricscad.com
Sincerely yours,
BricsCAD

Subject: ANNOUNCE: The GIMP 2.0pre4 (fwd)
========== Forwarded message ==========
Hello everybody,
If you were stuck for something to do with your evening (or morning or night,
depending on your timezone), you could do worse than download the latest
pre-release of the GIMP 2.0 from
ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/v2.0/testing/
or from one of the mirrors listed at http://gimp.org/download.html
The GIMP (for those who don't know) is the GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is
a freely distributed piece of software for such tasks as photo retouching, image
composition and image authoring.
Since it's been a little while since the last pre-release, quite a few bugs have
been fixed, and some small user interface changes have also been made, so it is
well worth the upgrade.
Happy GIMPing,
Dave.

InterSystems and Nexaweb Partner to Offer
Enterprise Internet Application Development Environment
High-Performance CACHÉ Database Supports Rich Enterprise Internet
Applications
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—March 29, 2004—InterSystems Corporation and Nexaweb
Technologies, Inc. today announced they have joined forces to deliver
rich user interface functionality to enterprise Web applications built
on InterSystems’ high-performance CACHÉ database. The announcement comes
in conjunction with InterSystems’ annual Developer Conference, DEVCON
2004 (March 28-31 in Orlando, FL).
The alliance will combine Nexaweb’s Enterprise Internet Application
platform with InterSystems’ CACHÉ post-relational database to offer
customers the benefits of rich Internet applications, including
increased end-user productivity and lower application deployment costs.
InterSystems develops and markets the high-performance, low-maintenance
CACHÉ database and the Ensemble rapid integration platform. Nexaweb’s
software helps businesses develop rich enterprise Internet applications
that provide the in-depth functionality of desktop applications with the
deployment scale of the Internet. Through this alliance, InterSystems
and Nexaweb will offer a program designed to enable software development
organizations to quickly build and deploy CACHÉ-based rich enterprise
Internet applications to their customers.
The advanced technology featured in CACHÉ, which provides a RAD
environment that is optimized for building highly scalable Web-based
applications, was a major reason behind the selection of InterSystems as
a database partner, according to Larry Geisel, Nexaweb CEO. “Our
customers demand applications with high performance and adaptability.
CACHÉ delivers the performance and functionality Nexaweb customers are
looking for.”
“InterSystems is delighted to be partnering with Nexaweb. A solution
that leverages the power of CACHÉ to develop and deploy real-time
Internet applications will be very attractive to our customer base,
especially those in extremely competitive sectors such as financial
services. Nexaweb’s technology will add value to our customers’
applications,” says Paul Grabscheid, InterSystems vice president of
strategic planning.
Nexaweb is kicking off its CACHÉ-based initiatives with a
proof-of-concept program that will be targeted at mid-to-large-sized
financial services companies.
