Subject: COMMERCIAL: JX 1.1.23 - C++ application framework competitive with Galaxy
Date: Thu, 17 Jun 1999 00:22:14 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
JX 1.1.23 (the latest cutting-edge version) is now available.
The major new feature is configurable button toolbars, as demonstrated in
Code Crusader, Arrow, etc. This is provided by the new JToolBar library
written by Glenn Bach.
Thanks to the following people for porting JX:
FreeBSD Dave Chang
IRIX Geoffrey Simms, Aaron Lefohn, Isaac Stoddard,
and the others on the Code Crusader mailing list
The source distributions can be downloaded from:

Description:
JX is a full-featured C++ application framework and GUI class library for
X. The power of JX stems from its rich feature set and extensibility which
support all aspects of professional quality application development.
The features built into JX include a generic messaging system to support
the Model-View-Controller paradigm, document management and interaction,
Drag-And-Drop, 3D graphics, networking (e.g. INET and UNIX sockets), the
ability to connect to multiple X displays, a powerful word processor class,
very extensive table support, background tasks, and seamlessly integrated
postscript printing.
This rich feature set does not impede the extensibility of the system,
however. The base class for all GUI objects, the Widget, provides
mechanisms for supporting all of the actions and interactions that are
expected in today's commercial applications. In addition, it is easy to
derive customized classes from almost any class in the library, from the
base Widget class to specialized classes such as Tables and Menus.
JX is designed to make it easy to construct commercial quality
applications. All the common, required functionality is built in, so
developers need only connect the standard components together and then
develop custom Widgets that are unique to their particular applications.
More information about JX is available at:
http://www.its.caltech.edu/~jafl/jx/
To subscribe to the mailing list, send email to:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
and include "subscribe jx" in the body of the message.
License:
JX is free for non-commercial use and is pretty close to Open Source.
Details of the license are available at:
http://www.its.caltech.edu/~jafl/sypp/
- ----------
JX is very close to providing the same feature set as the awe-inspiring
Galaxy application framework, our source is available, and we're free for
non-commercial use and a lot cheaper than Galaxy for commercial
development! We're not yet cross-platform, but we have begun work on the
Windows 95/98/NT port. If you are interested in how a particular feature
of Galaxy is provided by JX, please contact us.

IndexOS is a directory of continuously updated news, real-time
discussions, web site links and a search engine. It features news and
resources for almost 100 alternative operating systems and a special
section to keep an eye on the Evil Empire.
IndexOS news and discussion are highly integrated with the web
directory. News articles are classified by topic into specific
categories within the directory. The articles are then pushed up to
more general categories. This allows our users to filter news very
specifically. A user interested in web programming under Linux can go
to the Linux:Web:Programming category and find news about just that.
A user interested in just Linux will see these stories, since they are
about Linux, and many more.
IndexOS features the IndexOS News Spider that collects news summaries
from online news sites. Each summary includes headlines and excerpts
for all the different takes on the same story and links to related
articles. The News Spider uses an HTML parser that fixes broken HTML
and allows it to see web pages as a human would. You can read about
the News Spider on

New features in 5.1.2
=====================
- - write an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
if you are satisfied with apsfilter.
You'll get a mail in return so that you can write me a
postcard, if you like. I hope, this file increases soon ;-)
- - SETUP: prints time to compute and time to print testpage
writes times and driver informations into a log file,
which is at any time browseable with the new 'v' (view)
option in main manue.
Allows you to choose the fastest driver, if you have
several options.
- - SETUP: when selecting uniprint driver, then show uniprint
driver and additionally, which uniprint driver you
have choosen.
- - SETUP: Add a hint during installation, that FreeBSD's
lpd needs a patch to allow sharing of a spooldir by
several printers in /etc/printcap.
This is only needed, when you add print printcap
aliases like "high, medium, low", which allows you
to select different print densities on the commandline
without the nees, to reconfigure the printer via
apsfilterrc settings. See INSTALL file, what's additional
needed.
- - apsfilter: use PAPERSIZE information when printing with uniprint
drivers. PAPERSIZE variable has been missing in PRINT_PS
command.
- - apsfilter: ghostscripts error messages when printing PS files
are now redirected with a somple PS file ((redir_gs_msg.ps)
which has been appended to the PRINT_PS command.
Thanks to Andreas Reuter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
for this nice contribution.
- - apsfilter: make use of psutils package, to print 2 pages on one page
So "two pages on one" feature is now available for every file
type, before it has been a special feature of a2ps and so was
restricted to printing ASCII documents. Configurable via
apsfilterrc config file.
New features in 5.1.1
=====================
- - bugfix release
apsfilter did work correctly, but defaulted to 300dpi print
resolution not only for dvips commandline options, the whole
PRINT_PS command defaulted to 300dpi, if resolution hasn't
been set during SETUP or afterwards via GS_RESOL in one of
the apsfilterrc config files...
New features in 5.1.0
=====================
- - print in different print resolutions
lpr -Plow test.ps (180dpi)
lpr -Pmed test.ps (360dpi)
lpr -Phigh test.ps (720dpi)
this has to be configured _manually_ after installing a printer
using SETUP. Of course you can use different names and configure
different print resolutions.
At the end of the INSTALL file you get detailled instruction
how to setup this.
- - Enhanced file type support
o BMP
o FAX G3
o troff
- - Andreas Reuter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> contributed a
nice postscript testpage for apsfilter.
- - nice suggestions and bugfixes from Debian
especially support for a2ps 4.12
thanks to Matej Vela <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
- - printer type dependend apsfilter setup files possible (just for
the case somebody needs it). Now the following customization files
are possible, precedence in that order:
- /etc/apsfilterrc
- /etc/apsfilterrc.${PRINTER}
- $HOME/.apsfilterrc
- $HOME/.apsfilterrc.${PRINTER}
- - ghostscript can make use of additional type1 fonts by setting the gs
environment variable GS_FONTPATH. gs automatically recognizes
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 and
/var/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1
if present. Other Paths can be configured global or printer type
dependend by admin or user as usual. See precedence of apsfilterrc
and .apsfilterrc files above.
- - CRLF translation and perforation skip for more HP models
- - new environment variable USE_RECODE_NOT_A2PS, so you can use
reecode as an alternative over a2ps
- - new environment variable RECODE_OPTS
defaults to "-q latin1:ibmpc"
- - new environment variable PAGES_REVERSE_ORDER for forcing dvips
to print in reverse order
- - default printer resolution now defineable in apsfilter filter
script name. This configuration is not covered by SETUP script
and has to be dome manually.
- - Precedence of print resolution
a) by name of filter script (symlink to apsfilter)
b) by setting GS_RESOL in apsfilterrc config files
c) autodetected by apsfilter (PS_xxx, printer driver name)
- - some dvips settings cleanup, use -Z only when resol >= 400dpi
- - when printing html use some sane defaults for HTML2PS_OPTS
if not set in apsfilterrc files
- - and of course cosmetic and bugfixes
- - many thanks to the SuSE developement team especially
Werner Fink <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for many inspirations
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:
ASCII, BMP, DVI, Data (PCL,...), FIG, GIF, Group 3 FAX,
HTML, JPEG, PBM, PDF, PostScript, PPM, Sun Raster,
TIFF, troff, X11 Bitmap
Unix Platforms, that are able to run apsfilter flawlessly
=========================================================
- FreeBSD 1.X
- FreeBSD 2.X
- FreeBSD 3.X
- FreeBSD 4.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

I'm pleased to announce availability of LinPopUp version 1.0.2

enhanced features like : doesn't need to run permanently, full message
base management, can be run minimized, full message editor capabilities,
clipboard cut&paste, documentation, etc.
