Subject: Review of a Visual Basic-Like Tool for Linux
Below is a link to a review of Gambas: a free, open source, Visual Basic
like development environment for Linux. It has a built in visual
designer, a built in debugger, components, a properties window (object
inspector), and code insight. You can currently access MySQL and
PostgreSQL databases from Gambas programs.

Subject: [ANNOUNCE] ibmonitor version 1.3
Date: Wed, 12 Jan 2005 06:28:55 CST
ibmonitor - an interactive bandwidth monitor
ibmonitor is an interactive linux console application which shows
bandwidth consumed and total data transferred on all interfaces.
Its main features are:
- Shows received, transmitted and total bandwidth of each interface
- Calculates and displays the combined value of all interfaces
- Displays total data transferred per interface in KB/MB/GB
- Bandwidth Values can be displayed in Kbits/sec(Kbps) and/or
KBytes/sec(KBps)
- Can show maximum bandwidth consumed on each interface since start of
utility
- Can show average bandwidth consumption on each interface since
start of utility
- The output with all features (max, avg and display in Kbps and KBps)
easily fits on a 80x24 console or xterm
- Can interactively change its output display format depending on key
pressed by user.
Changes since v1.2
- Sleep interval is now more accurate as we are subtracting the
time taken for the code to run from it
- ibmonitor requires Perl module Time::HiRes

Subject: AWLP turns your PC into web-managed wireless access gateway
Greetings. I would like to inform you about an open-source project
I developed in Perl, using Slackware distro, HostAP driver and utilities,
that turns your PC with Prism2/2.5/3 wireless LAN card into a
full-featured web-managed wireless access gateway.
AWLP has pretty much all the features you would expect from
an off-the-shelf wireless access gateway like DHCP server,
caching-only DNS server, ACL, etc.
I belive AWLP is useful for a wide range of users:
- Academicians can use it for wireless experiment setups
- Developers can add/change its features
- Home users can set it up for their broadband connection sharing needs
- Small caffes and restaruants can use it as a simple hotspot box
I have tried to be loyal to Slackware distro as much as I can.
Actually, the only major modification was to set couple of suid
and guid permission bits so that AWLP can be web-managed.
Staying loyal to Slackware pays-off when time comes for package
upgrades. You can easily add/upgrade/remove packages using standard
Slackware package tools (installpkg, upgradepkg, removepkg).
Project's Web Site:
http://awlp.sourceforge.net/
Screenshosts:
https://sourceforge.net/project/screenshots.php?group_id=127028
Photos of an example setup:
(Worked as the wireless access gateway for 12-days without a problem)
http://awlp.sourceforge.net/photos/metu-ie/index.html
I hope you can find the time to review this open-source project
sometime. If you don't, however, I will be happy to know that you are
aware of it.
Best Regards,
Alptekin Cakircali

GLPK 4.8 -- Release Information
===============================
Release date: Jan 12, 2005
GLPK (GNU Linear Programming Kit) is intended for solving large-scale
linear programming (LP), mixed integer linear programming (MIP), and
other related problems. It is a set of routines written in ANSI C and
organized in the form of a callable library.
In this release:
Core simplex method and interior-point method routines were
re-implemented and now they use a new, "storage-by-rows" sparse matrix
format (unlike previous versions where linked lists were used to
represent sparse matrices). For details see ChangeLog.
Also a minor bug was fixed in API routine lpx_read_cpxlp.
See GLPK web page at <http://www.gnu.org/software/glpk/glpk.html>.
GLPK distribution can be ftp'ed from <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glpk/> or
from some mirror ftp sites; see <http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html>.
MD5 check-sum is the following:
ec4df7a56a4ed98369c9f0bc7c82322b *glpk-4.8.tar.gz
GLPK is also available as a Debian GNU/Linux package. See its web page
at <http://packages.debian.org/stable/math/glpk.html>.

on Mac OS X, Windows, Linux and FreeBSD, while users need only a
standard
web browser. Standard licenses are available starting from US$89
