Date: 19 Mar 1999 22:59:20 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
pppcosts is a small utility that calculates and displays the time (and phone
costs) you have been online using a modem or ISDN ppp connection. The time
and costs are saved, so that you can use pppcosts to keep track of your
monthly phone costs. Cost files for many phone companies are included. If
your phone company isn't on the list, then you can create a costfile on your
own, which is very easy.
homepage:http://www.isjm.com/tst/pppcosts.htm
download:ftp://your.nearest.sunsite.mirror/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/pppcosts-0.06.ELF.tar.gz
Version 0.06:
Many changes and bugfixes among which:
New layout of distribution.
Loadable costs files for different telcos.
Runs on FreeBSD.
New costfiles.
Enjoy!

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
XTide 2.1.2 is now available from ftp://ftp.flaterco.com/xtide/.
XTide is a free tide clock and tide prediction package that has been
honored with inclusion on some Linux CDs. Please refer to the
documentation at http://www.flaterco.com/xtide/ for full information.
If you wish to receive e-mail notifications of all changes to the
XTide software, just e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] asking to get on the
"XTide Beta List."
Changelog for XTide 2.1.2 (1999-03-15)
- --------------------------------------
Add support for color specifications having the deprecated #RRGGBB format,
which recently resurfaced on Debian.
Patch from Falk Hueffner for Timestamp::tm2utc. On his Alpha (BSD?), time_t
is 64 bits but gmtime returns NULL if the time_t is out of a certain range,
which was leading to segfaults.
Fixed reporting of MKTIME_FAILED errors caused by bad timestamps on the -b
and -e switches.

This is the announce of ref 1.0. A program that is intended to act as a
document formatting preprocessor for programs like troff, TeX or similar
products.
ref makes it easy to make numerical references to things like figures,
tables or whatever of the kind frequently used in technical papers and
textbooks, without remembering which number a particular figure or table
had.
You will find the files at:

Have fun

Subject: COMMERCIAL: Amira Public Beta - visualization and 3D reconstruction
Date: Wed, 10 Mar 1999 19:12:32 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
We are pleased to announce the first publically available
BETA version of AMIRA, an advanced visualization and 3D
reconstruction software:
http://amira.zib.de
Amira is a modern, user-friendly interactive Workbench for researchers
and developers. It offers fascinating new possibilities wherever
3-dimensional data sets occur. State-of-the-art visualization
techniques provide detailed insight into your data.
3D image data can be processed by powerful automatic and interactive
segmentation tools. Novel, fast, and robust reconstruction algorithms
make it easy to create polygonal models from segmented objects. This
makes Amira the ideal tool for research in medicine, biology, and
engineering.
In addition, true volumetric tetrahedral meshes can be generated,
suitable for advanced finite-element simulations. Simulation results
as well as other data defined on a variety of different grids can be
investigated using a large set of powerful visualization methods.
Supported platforms:
- - SGI IRIX 6.x (all platforms)
- - HP-UX 10.2 (tested with fx/6 graphics)
- - Linux glibc, e.g. RedHat 5.2, S.u.S.E. 6.0
(software rendering only)

Subject: Tornado Shell for Linux Pre-Release avaliable.
Date: Thu, 11 Mar 1999 21:49:48 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
I prerelease a free version of a Tornado shell for Linux.
This shell is a merge of WinSh and WtxTcl, it uses tclsh
as backbone and readline as user interface. I develop on
RH-5.2 but binaries run on Debian after some symbolic
link in order making share libraries names equivalent.
I also shipped a Solaris-Sparc version, in this case user
should take care using a tclsh that as been compiled
with --enable-share.
Outside of those share libraries name, system should
run almost out of the box.
% TornadoSh --registery=yyyy --target=xxxx
- --> set A [malloc 12]
- --> free $A
- --> printf "int=%d string=%s\n" 123 {--string 123}
- --> exit
ftp://ftp.neosoft.com/pub/tcl/sorted/packages-8.0/devel/jWrap-1.30-linux86.tgz
TornadoSh is a module of jWrap. Jwrap provides a very generic mechanism
to map C routines from Host or Target into TCLSH. Modules can be load
statically or dynamically in any tcl8/wish, jWrap support both C and C++
nevertheless current version of WTX limit Tornado interface to C.
This is a first version, any comments are welcome. Bruce O.Benson is looking
to start an anonymous CVS server for source distribution. TornadoSh is normally
fully free and uses TCL license, it nevertheless rely on some files shipped
with standard Tornado distribution that are copywriter by WRS.
TornadoSh is a production of Fridu in collaboration with
South Brittany University Valor laboratory.
Have fun.
