What's Linux Journal? It's the monthly magazine for Linux
Users and developers. Email linux@ssc.com for more information,
or visit our WWW site at http://www.ssc.com/lj/index.html
Subscription information is available from the WWW site, or
by sending email to subs@ssc.com.
Linux Journal is again looking for potential authors. If you have
a WWW browser, point it at http://www.ssc.com/lj/topics.html for a
list of articles ideas. Our Author's Guide is available as
http://www.ssc.com/lj/guide.html
A more general list of articles we are looking for is available at
http://www.ssc.com/lj/wanted.html
And of course, if you like, you can simply surf our Web site.
http://www.ssc.com/ will give you a nice graphic of Seattle and a
welcome message. Be aware that our site is new and under
construction, and some links still point to nowhere...
I have included text version of http://www.ssc.com/lj/topics.html
for those without WWW access. If any of these topics interests
you, please send me email, and I'll be happy to send you a copy
of our Author's Guide and discuss it with you. You may simply
reply to this post, or send email to ljeditor@ssc.com. Either
will work.
I will be at DECUS from May 5 through May 12, so I may be slow
responding to email during that time. However, all Linux users
are invited to stop by the Linux Journal booth and say hello,
and to come to the many Linux events that will be held during
the week.

using CVS, the Concurrent Versioning System.
Software Configuration Management

by automatically testing code changes with a regression test
suite collected piece by piece.

Programmer's Editor, which is an X (and text terminal)
programming environment which resembles Borland's IDE.

text-based, your choice.
Text Editors II
Carefully considered comparisons of two or more text
editors. I am not interested in judging the better of two or
more editors, but rather in presenting the features of several
editors fairly so that readers can choose for themselves.
Due the 4th of August or earlier:
C++ Motif wrappers
Technical reviews for developers of one or more of the
available C++ Motif wrappers: Xarm, Xm++ (includes Xaw
support), Motif++, and/or any others you are aware of. Also see

INTERPreter. WINTERP is "an application development environment
enabling rapid prototyping..." which allows programmers to
