PC Plus � February 1999, issue 148
On sale 24th December 1998 in the UK
A real bonanza this month for Linux users. First and foremost, there is the
inclusion of the oft-requested StarOffice 5.0 Personal Edition on the
SuperCD. PC Plus is the only UK magazine to gain rights to include it and we
won�t be able to repeat it � so grab your copy while you can!
Along with StarOffice 5.0, there's a wealth of Linux information, reviews
and tutorials both in this month's magazine and on the SuperCD. Here's a
quick guide to where you'll find it all.
In the Magazine
COMDEX Report
For the first time this November, Linux featured at the world's largest
computer trade fair. Find out about Corel Computer's new Linux NetWinder
computer and their Linux port for WordPerfect 8 � the full report is on page
24.
Special Investigation
Puzzled by the penguin? Wondering which iceberg he (she? it?) has suddenly
sprung from, what's happening right now and which direction it's drifting
in? Read our special investigation for the complete Linux low-down. Page 31.
Linux Books
No, they're not all published by Penguin. But you will find out what's worth
sticking your beak into on page 160.
Red Hat 5.2 Review
OS World weighs the worth of the latest from Red Hat, one of the most
popular commercial releases of Linux. It starts on page 198.
Linux Workshop
UNIX, the father of Linux, runs most of the world's networking computers, so
it will come as no surprise that Linux is pretty good at it too. Learn the
basics of Linux networking in the first of our new series of Linux
Workshops, on page 240.
On the SuperCDs
Linux Software
As well as StarOffice 5, there�s the latest stable release of the Linux
kernel � 2.0.36 is on this month's CD. We've also got the much requested
Java Development Kit (1.1.7), the most recent release of Blender, Linux's
premier modelling, animation, rendering and post production program. Plus
DDD, a code debugger, and an MPEG player.
The Linux Kernel tutorial
Jonathan Nicholson walks you through compiling your kernel to get the most
from your system.
COMDEX Report
Watch video footage of Corel Computers demonstrating their new NetWinder
Computer, and see a Red Hat technician (wearing, what else? ...a red hat)
talk about the future of Linux.
This month�s CD software is the first of three months worth of special,
exclusive Linux software on the CD, so if you want to make sure you don�t
miss out, order your copy of the February issue today and subscribe to PC
Plus to ensure you get our next issues. PC Plus on-line has recently been
re-designed and not only does it now include a special section for Linux, it
also now offers the facility to order a copy of PC Plus on-line or buy the
current issue. Check out http://www.pcplus.co.uk.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the entire PC Plus team.

Subject: LibGGI 2.0 Beta 1 - General Graphics Interface library
Date: Sun, 27 Dec 1998 01:17:27 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Announce: LibGGI 2.0 BETA1 (the Degas release) is finally out.
- --------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, I know - we have taken our time. LibGGI has been given a major service
interval, and we hope, we now have something, that is here to stay.
LibGGI has been split into a library doing generic input handling called
LibGII, and the "traditional" LibGGI, which takes care for handling
graphical output to virtually anything used to display graphics on Linux
or Unix in general.
And _NO_ - you don't need to patch your kernel to use it.
LibGGI is an attempt to unify all those graphical output systems that exist
on Unix (and we even want to port to other systems as well).
Linux alone has a pretty big set of graphics output subsystems:
X, SVGAlib, /dev/fb (native or kgicon), LibAA, Glide, XF86-DGA, etc. ...
LibGGI is an attempt to unify all of them. It is a very fast, simple (ever
tried to make a small graphics app directly in Xlib ?) and lightweight
interface layer, that allows you to run the _very_same_binary_ on all the
above mentioned targets (as we call them). LibGGI will detect (or you can
select, of course) the environment you are running in, and redirect its
output as required. Forget about limiting yourself to just one graphics
subsystem and just use LibGGI.
LibGII is a companion lib, that was developed because most programs
producing graphical output will require input as well.
In LibGGI 1.0, LibGII was integrated with LibGGI, but we found that it is
more flexible to separate it out. This enables you to add your favorite
device to the available input devices of nicely written LibGGI programs,
and you can use it. the author of the program doesn't even know your
device exists. At worst, you can make it emulate a mouse.
For those that have waited for just that announcement - here is where you
can get it:
ftp://ftp.ggi-project.org/pub/ggi/ggi/2_0_beta_1
For those who don't yet know, what LibGGI is about and why you want it
as well:

and you can use it. the author of the program doesn't even know your
device exists. At worst, you can make it emulate a mouse.
And yes, even if you don't want to use LibGGI, you might still find
libGII useful. It is completely independent of it and can be used
standalone.
As there are quite a bunch of SVGAlib applications out there, while there
are many systems that can't use them due to the lack of drivers, we
decided to make an SVGAlib wrapper as well. This is an SVGAlib-look-alike,
which internally uses LibGGI. This allows you to run many SVGAlib programs
via LibGGI and make them display on your X server, for example.
Other goodies:
LibGGI features several "pseudo-targets", that allow for nifty effects:
- - "multi" allows you to display the same application on multiple targets.
Very nice for remote demonstrations.
- - "tile" allows to cut a big virtual graphics area into a bunch of tiles,
that can be sent to different targets. Can you say video-wall ?
- - "trueemu" allows to run "bad" applications that insist on running
truecolor on other bitdepth visuals.
- - "palemu" does the same for palette-loving apps.
Other targets (like sunfb and VNC) are being prepared. A few of the more
advanced targets might show little oddities in the current BETA. We'll try
to fix that soon, but we wanted to have a present for christmas ...
Performance:
Wrappers aren't always slow. We took great care to optimize things, and we
actually do support acceleration, where available.
Or as one our developers puts it: You might want to mention squake running
on svgalib-wrapper running on LibGGI running on X gives about the same
framerate as squake running on SVGAlib directly on the gfxhw ;)
Applications:
LibGGI has attracted quite some ports of interesting programs. Available
titles include Descent (the first port, that was known to natively run on
Linux/Alpha), DOOM and DUMB, Xmame, Phorus, Crystal Space, XGGI (an X
server running on top of GGI - this unifies Xfb, Xnest, Xvfb, ...) and
many many more.
A note to developers:
We believe that the API is stable now. Maybe we will do minor adjustments
to the inner workings, but the exported functionality is expected to be
stable. So hack away.
Have fun with it !
CU, Andy

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
The Linux Kernel Archives Mirror System is now available for use! A
number of sites across the world have graciously offered to help
distribute the Linux Kernel using a common file structure and
site-naming scheme. These sites have agreed to mirror the /pub/linux
and /pub/software trees (i.e. the original software distributed from
our site) from ftp.kernel.org in its entirety.
To get connected to a mirror site near you, connect to:
ftp://ftp.xx.kernel.org/pub/linux/
ftp://ftp.xx.kernel.org/pub/software/
http://www.xx.kernel.org/pub/linux/
http://www.xx.kernel.org/pub/software/
.... where "xx" is your two-letter country code.
Note that not all sites archive both .gz and .bz2 format files, and
that currently not all countries have both FTP and HTTP support.
For more information, including the list of countries currently
supported by the Linux Kernel Archives Mirror System and how to
register a mirror, please see:
http://www.kernel.org/mirrors/
In addition, a list of the individual mirror sites should be available
online sometime next week.
To all the sites that have offered their time, disk space and
bandwidth, I want to give a huge "Thank you!", and to everyone else, I hope
you will find this service useful.

Subject: Speech output for Linux: speakup v-0.04 released
Date: Sun, 27 Dec 1998 00:36:32 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Announcing the fourth alpha release of speakup v-0.04.
Speakup is a screen review package for the Linux operating system. It
allows you to hear all output directed to the console and move around
the screen using the typical screen review functions.
This is an alpha release which means it is by no means complete. It
only supports the Double Talk internal synthesizer currently, but
hopefully we will increase it's variety of synths in the not to
distant future.
It is quite usable in it's current incarnation though, with the
blaring lack of cursor output support. That means in an editor it
doesn't read each line as you move up and down the screen. It tracks
the cursor so you just need to do a say current line but it doesn't do
it all by itself. There is more to be said for cursor tracking and
speaking than meets the ear at first glance.
Speakup is a set of kernel patches which means you should have some
experience with kernel compiling. It currently works on the Linux
development kernels 2.1.125 and above. At this release we are at
kernel 2.1.131.
What's new in v-0.04? Read the Changes file included in the tar
archive for full descriptions of my changes. Speakup now has the
functions say from reading cursor line to bottom of screen. It has
read from top of screen to reading cursor line, as well as read from
left edge to reading cursor and guess what? Read from reading cursor
to right edge of screen. I rewrote say next and previous word to wrap
at the end of lines and added sound. Well, beeps anyway. Speakup
also bleeps when the colour attribute changes as you move from
character to character. Rewrote portions of various files to speed up
operation and clean up some bugs. Oh, don't worry there's still
plenty of bugs to squash!
There is a mailing list for speakup which you are welcome to join if
you are interested in it's on going development. You can subscribe to
the mailing list by sending a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with
a line in the body of the message like this:
subscribe speakup (YourFirstName YourLastName)
The mailing list is currently a very low traffic forum so you probably
won't be overwhelmed with mail.
The official speakup distribution point is
ftp://ftp.braille.uwo.ca/pub/speakup. For now, I am just dropping the
documents there as I write them. It will probably become more
organized as time goes on but for now I just want to get information
written and out there for public consumption as quickly as possible.
Speakup is written by Kirk Reiser and Andy Berdan. It is covered by
the GPL (GNU Public License).
So, like I think that's about it. If you have any questions feel free
to write me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you have a DoubleTalk internal
synth, we could really use your feedback. If you are just diing to
get involved in a software project, boy do we have a bridge to sell
you! 'grin'

Subject: Satlas 1.2 - electronic atlas of the solar spectrum
Date: Sun, 27 Dec 1998 01:22:20 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Hi!
The new version of satlas has just been released!
Satlas is an electronic atlas of the solar spectrum and targeted
primarily for astronomers who do a lot of spectral analysis work.
It is based on Gtk+ and MySQL. MySQL is used to store, manage and
provide a quick access to the data, while Gtk+ provides GUI.
Some functionality of satlas can be also accessed through the command
line.
*Features added in v1.2
- Data tables are COMPLETELY restructured. Old data tables are
incompatible with the new version.
- Equivalent widths problems resolved.
- Kurutz line list added and made a primary one.
- References to log gf values added.
- Zoom mode
- Editing of the output
- Foundation for the MOOG support
- Many bug and portability fixes.
*Features* added in v1.0
- Search for lines through the entire spectrum
- Measurements of the equivalent widths (this is still faulty)
*Features* of satlas v0.95
- Display and browse solar spectrum in a specified wavelength
range.
- Display data on the individual lines in the spectrum.
- Using more detailed atomic information (not for all lines),
such as oscillator strengths, excitation and ionization
potentials, etc., generate inputs for WIDTH9, a numerical
code written to calculate abundances of chemical elements.
More detailed information and the source code along with the data can
be access from:
http://www.physics.unc.edu/~serge/satlas/
Screenshots are also provided! :-)))
Satlas is distributed under GNU Public License.
Any questions, comments, blames and suggestions are welcomed. Send
them to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
