- -------------------------- die Wegbeschreibung ------------------------
Hier ist nun die Wegbeschreibung von Peter Much, erweitert von Carsten
B�ddicker und mir:
Du kommst mit der Deutschen Bahn:
* Fahre zum Intercity-Bahnhof Wilhelmsh�he, wenn dieser vor dem
Hauptbahnhof auf der Strecke liegt. Steige dort um in die
Stra�enbahnlinie 1 Richtung Holl�ndische Stra�e und folge der
Beschreibung �Du kommst mit der KVG�.
* Fahre zum Hauptbahnhof, wenn Du nicht bereits vorher im
Intercity-Bahnhof Wilhelmsh�he aussteigen kannst. Vom Hauptbahnhof
zu Fu� ca. 10-15 Minuten: Du gehst zum vorderen Portal aus dem
Hauptbahnhof hinaus, �ber die Stra�e (Fu�g�nger-Ampel, und geradeaus
weiter (Kurf�rstenstra�e). An der n�chsten Kreuzung ist etwas
linkerhand wieder eine Fu�g�ngerampel. Da �ber die Stra�e und
geradeaus weiter (rechts ist ein h�heres Haus, links ein
Per�ckengesch�ft - dazwischen durch). Nach 200 m kommst Du auf den
_K�nigsplatz_ (Fu�g�ngerzone). Jetzt nach links und der Stra�enbahn
folgen. Irgendwann h�rt die Fu�g�ngerzone auf und es biegen rechts
und links Stra�enbahnen ab. Du gehst geradeaus weiter, h�ltst
Dich zweckm��igerweise auf der rechten Stra�enseite. Bald kommt die
n�chste Stra�enbahn-Haltestelle ("Holl�ndischer Platz"). Das ist
eine gro�e Kreuzung, und da folgst Du der nach rechts f�hrenden
Stra�e (Kurt-Wolters-Stra�e). Irgendwo kommt da wieder eine
Fu�g�ngerampel zum �berqueren, und ungef�hr auf dieser H�he biegt
links die M�nchebergstra�e ab. Dieser folgst Du, bis irgendwann
(ca. 100m) rechts das "Schm�k" sein sollte.
Du kommst mit der KVG:
Du mu�t in die Stadtmitte und dann brauchst eine Linie, die in
Richtung _Holl�ndische_Stra�e_ f�hrt, au�er Du kommst schon aus
dieser Richtung. Bis zur Station "Holl�ndischer Platz" fahren, dann
in die Kurt-Wolters-Stra�e und weiter wie oben. (Das sind die
Linien 1 und 5).
Alternativ kann man auch mit der Linie 3, 6 oder 7 zum �Katzensprung�
fahren und sich von dort aus Richtung Holl�ndischen Platz bewegen.
Die erste Stra�e nach links einbiegen, das ist die M�nchebergstra�e,
das Schm�k ist dann praktisch schon in Sichtweite.
Du kommst mit dem Auto:
Entweder Du l��t das Auto auf einem P+R-Parkplatz stehen und f�hrst
mit der KVG. Oder Du f�hrst von der Autobahn W�rzburg-G�ttingen bei
Kassel-Nord ab, und Richtung Innenstadt. Nach 3 km solltest Du
rechts die Binding-Brauerei sehen und riechen, und vor Dir die
BMW-Niederlassung. Vor dieser biegst Du rechts ab (gro�e
Kreuzung). Dann kommt bald die Fulda-Br�cke und gleich danach der
linksabbiegenden Stra�e folgen. Gradeaus �ber eine gro�e Kreuzung
und das n�chste Str��chen ist schon die M�nchebergstra�e. Wie Du
jetzt Dein Auto loswirst ist Dein Problem...

Subject: Pload 0.9.3 - Xaw based network load monitor
Date: Mon, 1 Mar 1999 22:47:09 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
This is an announcement for an update of the pload program.
Pload is an Athena widget based ppp monitor similar to xload. It
displays totals and current rates for both inbound and outbound data.
Pload was designed to be portable to any platform that can run pppd
and X11.
Changes:
- -Fixed unsigned "negative" number possibility when calculating
the rates. This resulted in pload wanting 100% of the cpu time.
The whole stats gathering back-end was restructured to be more
modular and easier to debug.
- -Added ability for Linux 2.2 to use the proc filesystem to gather
statistics. An added bonus is that pload can now also monitor
non-ppp network devices like ethernet, plip, or anything that
reports bytes in/out to /proc/net/dev , all without any special
accounting rules. For example, running
"pload -device lo -average 1 -display localhost:0.0" would have
pload monitor its own communication link with the local X server
through the loopback device, lo.
- -Removed fallback geometry so that the widgets can resize
themselves to a more logical size for horizontal or labels-only
orientations on realize.
- -Added a no charts (labels only) option.
This is the lsm entry:

Title: pload
Version: 0.9.3

statistics in an X window

SAP To Announce Linux support for SAP R/3 at CeBIT 99
Responding to market demand, SAP and partners will deliver Linux-based
enterprise software solutions
Walldorf, March 1, 1999 - At CeBIT 99, SAP will announce details of
its plans to deliver its industry-leading enterprise application
solution SAP R/3 on the Linux operating system, responding to a
growing groundswell of customer demand for this platform. In addition,
SAP will detail the broad support it has already received from its
major hardware and software partners for its initiative to deliver SAP
R/3 on Linux. These vendors will deliver Linux-based systems, tools
and databases and provide ongoing platform maintenance and support.
The growing industry support for Linux adds further proof that it has
emerged as a stable and reliable platform for business computing and
gives customers who are already investing in Linux systems a way to
further leverage this investment.
"We have received a significant number of serious customer requests
for R/3 on Linux over the past year," said Hasso Plattner, co-chairman
and CEO of SAP AG. "After extensive testing in-house and discussions
with our partners and customers, we are confident that Linux meets our
standards."
At CeBIT 99, SAP will be offering live demonstrations of SAP R/3
running in the Linux environment and provide more details about this
announcement. First customer shipment is due in the third quarter of
this year.

Subject: apsfilter 5.0.1 released
Date: Mon, 1 Mar 1999 22:59:10 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
# $Id: ANNOUNCE,v 1.4 1999/03/01 16:02:29 andreas Exp $
New features in 5.0.1
=====================
- - Really make it unnecessary to have a file command that is able to
read from a pipe.
- - Added a russian print filter to the contrib section:
Skliarouk Peter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote a filter for russian fonts
for matrix 9-pin printers. It uses only ESC-consequences to
transform chars to theirs graphics representations.
New features in 5.0.0
=====================
Nice enhancements from Joachim Achtzehnter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
- - LPRng support. Hurray !!!
- - Writes the first 8k of a print job into a tmp file for
file type detection. This makes rewindstdin unnecessary
for dvips as well as a special file command, that is able
to read from stdin.
New features in 4.9.9 - patch-aa
================================
Uniprint support by Glenn Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Sorry, I had no time to role a new apsfilter
release, it was only available via patch-aa in the FreeBSD ports
collection. It's always a good idea to look there for new patches.
http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/ports
New features in 4.9.9
=====================
Support recognition and printing of bzip2 compressed files
Upgrade and Bugfixes in 4.9.8
=============================
Support printing of PDF files !
Fix SETUP and mksymlinks script to fully support color printer.
Upgrade in 4.9.7
================
Do 4 Jun 1998 23:17:20 CEST Andreas Klemm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Added support for new HP DeskJet Driver in FreeBSD port of ghostscript 5.10
As a result apsfilters SETUP needs to know about the new printer drivers
See:
http://bonk.ethz.ch/hp850/hp850.html
http://bonk.ethz.ch/hp850/hp850-readme.1.3.html
If you want that for Linux as well, you have to patch the ghostscript
sources and to rebuild ghostscript 5.10. The URL's above contain
some (not complete) instructions how to do that.
For more hints you can browse through my diffs in the FreeBSD
ports collection.
Bugfixes in 4.9.6
=================
Fr 29 Mai 1998 00:04:35 CEST Andreas Klemm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* From: Neil Hart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
get rid of SPOOLDIR /usr/spool for Linux installations ...
nearly all OS now use /var/spool ...
* apsfilter 4.9.6 released
Di 26 Mai 1998 21:10:11 CEST Andreas Klemm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* From: Neil Hart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
1. the script setup/compile refers to the directory a2ps-4.2-akl-new,
but the source is actually in the directory a2ps-4.2-akl
2. the script setup/compile doesn't invoke Makefile.linux, but
instead simply defaults to use the (non-functional) Makefile
in that directory
3. the install_it script in the rewind-stdin directory has the
line ''cp rewindstdin $BINDIR" commented out, so it never
actually installs the program
New Goodies in 4.9.5
====================
o Support direct printing of HTML documents
using html2ps
New Goodies in 4.9.4
====================
o Absolutely new SETUP:
- view your gs binaries compiled in drivers (gs -h)
- browse through the devices.txt file
- menue oriented
- possibility to change print parameters and
PRINT a TEST page as long as you like
- saves the current SETUP environment settings in ./SETUP.cfg
even if you have to terminate with ^C your settings are not lost !
- SETUP reads old envireoment on starup if SETUP.cfg file is present
- SETUP knows about all gs 5.10 drivers + 3rd party hp850 driver
- enhanced serial printer setup in preparation
- saves some interesting printer settings from SETUP
at the end of /etc/apsfilterrc, so printer is ready for use,
as tested !
o Bugfixes from SuSE developement team and other people.
o Supports FreeBSD ports collection
o Patches from FreeBSD ports collection included
o ghostscript 5.10 support
o hp850 driver support
o Still no support for LPRng !!!!
Please use a standard (Berkeley) lpd package !!!!
Thomas Bueschgens
=================
Thomas Bueschgens isn't involved in the apsfilter developement
as co-author anymore. Don't try to send him mail.
Thomas, thanks for the good work in the past !
New Goodies in 4.9.3
====================
apsfilter 4.9.3 is apsfilter 4.9.1 for FreeBSD 2.1 in it's own
package format. This version is part of the FreeBSD installation
CD-Rom offered by Walnut Creeck.
Support for FreeBSD ports collection
Apsfilter is now more secure. You have to set INSECURE in /etc/apsfilterrc
as root first otherwise its not possible for users to use the
custom files $HOME/.apsfilterrc.
There is a new switch DVIPS_RESOL_DorP. Some dvips versions use the P
and some the D Option to change the printer resolution on the command line.
So if you have trouble printing TeX dvi files using dvips, check this one
first, please ! It defaults now to -D so it runs like a charm with
Thomas Essers teTeX-0.3 package ;-)
Nice Contribution:
okidisplay is for HPLJ compatible OKI 400ex. They have a programmable
display. Martin Kraemer ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) has made a C Program,
that hacks the current print job into the display of the printer in the
following form: <job>:<user>@<host>
So you can see, what print job currently is active ;-)
WHAT IS APSFILTER
=================
Do you have the German Unix Magazine UnixOpen February 1995 handy ?
Yes ?! Then read the article about apsfilter "Jetzt wird Druck gemacht".
APSFILTER is a lineprinter input filter for systems with a BSD-like
printing mechanism (lpd, /etc/printcap), that saves users a lot of work
when printing different file types wether compressed or not !!!
Additionally it enables non Postscript printers, that are supported
by the free postscript emulator - under the terms of the GPL -
"ghostscript" (gs), to print postscript files automatically !
With the new apsfilter Version 3.0 its now possible to print
*compacted* documents directly without unpacking !!!
The wanted packers/unpackers have to be already installed on your system.
o Supported packers:
BZIP2, GZIP, PACK, COMPRESS, FREEZE/MELT
o Supported file types:
Postscript
TeX DVI
Ascii
Data (PCL,...)
GIFF
TIFF
Sun Rasterfiles
FIG
PNM (pbmplus)
HTML
PDF
Unix Platforms, that are able to run apsfilter flawlessly
=========================================================
- FreeBSD 1.X
- FreeBSD 2.X
- FreeBSD 3.X
- NetBSD
- OpenBSD
- SUN SPARCSTATIONS, Solaris 1.1.1 (SunOS4) (when using
another file command that can read from a pipe)
- Many Linux Distributions
But please use the supported lpd print daemon, not LPRng ;-)
- and surely all commercial Unix Systems,
that run a BSD 4.X operating system
==========================================================
How to get apsfilter and related software
==========================================================
apsfilter:

To use all of apsfilters features or capabilities some
additional (on your system possibly non-standard) utilities
need to be installed.

Linux-Installationsparty am 27. M�rz 1999 in Kassel
===================================================
28.02.1999 (Kassel) -- Die Linux-Usergroup Kassel veranstaltet am 27. M�rz
1999 in der Zeit von 10:00 bis 17:00 Uhr im Haus der Jugend (Willi-Seidel-
Haus) in Kassel an der Fuldabr�cke eine Linux-Installationsparty. W�hrend
dieser Zeit informieren wir �ber das Betriebssystem Linux. Interessenten
k�nnen - nach Anmeldung - Ihren PC mitbringen und gemeinsam mit erfahrenen
Programmierern und Anwendern das System installieren und einrichten.
Linux ist ein im Internet frei verf�gbares Betriebssystem f�r PCs und viele
andere Rechnersysteme. Linux wird von vielen Internet-Service-Providern,
Firmen und Privatpersonen aufgrund der hohen Stabilit�t, Flexibilit�t und
des g�nstigen Preis-Leistungsverh�ltnisses eingesetzt. Die aktuelle Version
steigert die Geschwindigkeit und verbessert erneut die ohnehin bereits
breite Hardwareunterst�tzung. Wenn Sie Linux kennenlernen m�chten, kommen
Sie einfach vorbei.
Das Projekt Linux wird von vielen Freiwilligen entwickelt und lebt von der
Begeisterung und Kooperation der Anwender. Die Kasseler Linux-Usergroup
versucht diese Begeisterung sowohl durch monatliche Treffen als auch durch
diese Installationsparty zu st�rken. Die Helfer und Experten betreuen die
Besucher und Interessenten ehrenamtlich.
Interessierte Besucher, die ohne PC kommen, haben die M�glichkeit, Kontakte
zu anderen Anwendern zu kn�pfen, Erfahrungen auszutauschen oder sich an
unserem Informations- und B�cherstand beraten zu lassen. Neben mitgebrachten
PCs werden wir au�erdem einige Vorf�hrger�te unserer Mitglieder ausstellen.
Die Anmeldung zur Installationsparty erfolgt bei Benjamin Hagemann,
Langenhofsweg 4, 34134 Kassel, e-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED],
Telefon 0561/44946. Die Teilnahme an der Installationsparty mit
eigenem PC kostet DM 10,-, die Anzahl der Teilnehmer ist aber
begrenzt. F�r Besucher ohne PC ist der Eintritt frei.
