(LSL Information) WWW: Announce your updates on 32BitsOnline.com (Ronny Ko) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Justin Ryan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: COMMERCIAL: TurboLinux Partnering Programs Date: Tue, 30 Mar 1999 21:53:32 GMT =====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE===== Pacific HiTech recently announced a series of partnering programs to help independent hardware and software vendors market and certify their products for use with TurboLinux. Three levels of partner programs are available: (main page - http://www.turbolinux.com/partner/) TurboLinux Reciprocal Marketing Program http://www.turbolinux.com/partner/recip.html The TurboLinux Reciprocal Marketing Program is designed for companies that want a fast, easy way to gain recognized compatibility with TurboLinux. After a rapid verification process with PHT, the partner is listed on PHT's web site and other documentation as a compatible software or hardware vendor. The partner is expected to reciprocate and list TurboLinux as a supported OS. TurboLinux Certification Program http://www.turbolinux.com/partner/cert.html The TurboLinux Certification Program is designed for companies that want official certification that their product works with TurboLinux. After certification, the right to use the TurboLinux logo on packaging and promotional material will be granted to the vendor. The vendor is eligible for more technical assistance than is available in the TurboLinux Reciprocal Marketing Program. The TurboLinux Certification Program takes more time than the TurboLinux Reciprocal Marketing Program. Anticipated time required from start of TurboLinux Certification Program to finish is 4 weeks. TurboLinux Distribution Program http://www.turbolinux.com/partner/dist.html The TurboLinux Distribution Program gives the partner's product marketing and sales exposure by placing a version of the product or information on the product inside of the TurboLinux software distribution. A demo, developer, or time-locked version of your software can be placed on one of our CDs. Hardware vendors can put product information or promotional offers on the CD. A percentage of revenue generated through promotion on the TurboLinux CD is to be paid to PHT on a quarterly basis. TurboLinux Distribution Program may only be entered after partner completes the TurboLinux Certification Program. Pacific HiTech, Inc. (PHT) is the largest Linux developer and publisher in Asia and the second largest in the world. PHT develops and markets a suite of high performance Linux products called TurboLinux. - -- |-------------------------------------------------- |Justin Ryan |Developer Relations / Support Associate |Pacific HiTech / TurboLinux |http://www.turbolinux.com / [EMAIL PROTECTED] |WebMaster, PCHelp - http://computers.iwz.com |[EMAIL PROTECTED] |-------------------------------------------------- - -- 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.

It's an svgalib picture viewer with a thumbnail-based file selector. With zgv 3.2 I've incorporated some of the (IMHO) most useful changes made in Matan Ziv-Av's `newzgv'. (Though 3.1 was sufficiently different from 3.0 (which newzgv was based on) that I decided to implement a couple of changes myself, rather than using Matan's code in all cases.) Apart from that, there's an important GIF-related bugfix, and, er, some really weird stuff related to picture orientation. :-) Here's the changes relative to the previous version (from NEWS): ** New features - - The file selector can now run in higher-res modes (800x600, 1024x768, and 1280x1024). You can change modes with F1/F2/F3/F4, or use the config file var `fs_startmode' to set the initial mode. The higher-res selector was Matan Ziv-Av's idea, though I found his approach slightly confusing so I ended up writing my own code to do it. :-) - - You can now have files sorted by `extension', size or last-modified date/time (using Alt-e, Alt-s, or Alt-d respectively) instead of just in filename order (Alt-n). Thanks to Jan Willamowius for the suggestion, but it would be fair to say it's been in the back of my mind for, oh, it must only be three or four years now. :-) (Matan Ziv-Av also deserves a mention for reminding me of it.) - - Brightness/contrast now work in 15/16/24-bit modes (thanks to Matan Ziv-Av for this). There's no slowdown if you haven't changed brightness/contrast (it uses the old display method in that case), but if you still don't like the idea you can use `hicontrol off' in a config file to disable it completely. - - Brightness/contrast also now work in the 640x480 16-colour mode. - - Picture orientation (the effect of mirrors/flips/rotations) can now be preserved between pictures in various ways. Alt-n reverts to normal (undoing any mirrors/flips/rotations), Alt-o restores the orientation which was used for the previous picture, and Alt-s saves the current orientation to be used for all pictures until you press Esc. Also, the config file option `revert_orient' can be disabled to always preserve orientation between pictures. Thanks to Ben Schluricke for the basic idea behind this (I extended and generalised it a bit). - - You can rename a file with Alt-r. Thanks to Matan Ziv-Av (again) for the code this was based on. - - `:' is now much more useful as it shows the file size and last-modified date/time in addition to the full filename. - - The viewer now has separate video-mode help (listing which key combination gives which video mode) on `/'. (Another of Matan's ideas.) - - Zgv's man page is now automagically generated from zgv.texi. This effectively brings it up to date and should make it a lot more usable, which should be good news for everyone out there who hates Info. :-) ** Bugfixes - - Previously, zgv segfaulted on (some, possibly all) GIFs which had both global *and* local colour maps. - - Fixed a display bug where you could sometimes have had weirdness after a file delete or move, or after rescanning a directory where there were fewer files. - - Fixed `-p' bug where mouse pointer position was effectively uninitialised. - - Removed a couple more unnecessary redraws in the selector. ** Other changes - - Zgv now only changes mode in the viewer when needed - otherwise, it just clears the screen. (Thanks to Matan Ziv-Av for the nth time.) - - The directory structure in the distribution is now much more sensible. - - Removed `-src' from source distribution's filename. :-) Here's the LSM entry: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Begin3 Title: Zgv Version: 3.2 Entered-date: 17MAR99 Description: Zgv is a full-featured picture viewer for VGA/SVGA displays which supports most popular formats.
