For a given language, comments are rendered in Times Roman italics, keywords in bold, strings in Courier; line-numbers, every 10 lines in a tiny font, and function/subroutine/procedure definitions, in a larger font, are displayed along the right margin. HISTORY prettyp (a new addition to the tgrind package) uses tfontedpr, written by Van Jacobson, which was originally based on BSD 4.2 vfontedpr, written by Bill Joy & Dave Presotto, which used troff. All the contents of the original tgrind package are included for backwards compatibility. This release was ported to build under GNU/Linux (there was a variable called _start that was messing with the compiler's idea of reality), and Solaris with TeX (Web2C 7.2) 3.14159 by Luis Fernandes & Jason Naughton. The major feature of prettyp (w.r.t. tgrind) is its automatic language detection capabilities that enables one to grind source code without specifying the -l (language) option. prettyp uses a combination of filename extensions and interpreter (#! magic) to deduce the language. LANGUAGE SUPPORT Languages supported by this release are: C, C++ (new), FORTRAN77, ISP, Icon, Java (new), LDL, Emacs Mock Lisp, Model, Modula2, Pascal, Perl (new), Python (new), RATFOR, Russell, sh/csh, Tcl (new) and yacc grammer. Support for additional languages can be easily added, see EXTENDING LANGUAGE SUPPORT below. REQUIREMENTS You will need TeX to be installed on your system for this program to work. You will need perl to use the prettyp front-end (specifically, the script "lang", that performs automatic language detection). PLATFORMS tfontedpr, the program that does all the actual work, has been successfully built on i586 GNU/Linux 2.0.34, SPARC Solaris 2.5.1, and SunOS 4.1.4. It should compile without problem for most other platforms. EXAMPLE To grind a C source-code file and a shell script, type: prettyp vgrindefs.c prettyp to generate vgrindefs.c.ps and prettyp.ps which may be viewed with ghostview or printed on a PostScript printer. You can visit the prettyp home page at www.ee.ryerson.ca/~elf/prettyp/ and view the "pretty" PostScript output for a shell script, a perl script, C code and Tcl/Tk code. EXTENDING LANGUAGE SUPPORT To add pretty print capabilities for other languages, add the language definition to the vgrindefs database and modify the alist in the lang perl script adding a file-extension/interpreter to language mapping. - -- This article has been digitally signed by the moderator, using PGP. http://www.iki.fi/mjr/cola-public-key.asc has PGP key for validating signature.

Download from ftp://ftp.mayko.com/mxmap/linux/libc6/. The RPM already contains all the map data. One glitch: after installation (as root) the first time a user starts mxmap the 'user install' script starts instead. As nice as this is, if you start mxmap not from within a shell in an xterm you will not see any of the install dialog. So, the first time (as user) start mxmap from the command line in X. What the heck is mXmap ? ======================== Well, it is a map viewer. If you have a GPS, you can put yourself on the map. You move, the marker on the map moves. You can log your journey to a file for later re-play. You can plan a trip and create a route. MXmap will guide you then to your destination. If you don't have a GPS use it as your atlas. Want to know the distance between Waimea and Hilo? Just stretch the rubber band. Oh, the GPS does not have to be connected to the computer running mXmap. You can have the GPS connected to a system in a vehicle or a sea going vessel and display its position else where. As long as both systems have IP connectivity :-) Actually, my boat is connected to about 8 miles out. No, not a long ether cable, but a Metricom modem. Using GSM, you can track land bound vehicles where there is coverage. If you have a satellite link, you can track a sail boat around the world in real time. MXmap is gratis (free beer). If you don't think it is cool, you get all your money back! If you want to see some screen shots, look at www.mayko.com. Mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] to reach us.
