It's written mostly in C, with a few x86 assembler routines. Included there is a debugger in prolog (Boralnd's Turbo Prolog(TM)). This compiler generates a code that does a simple non-preemptive multitasking for MsDos(Microsoft, TM) and was designed for tying several microterminals to a single PC, each one sharing the same code, but with separate data and stack segments. Grab the source at http://members.xoom.com/rpragana/rpcobol.tar.gz. Everything from now on is release under GPL.

Linux-Mandrake 6.0 -----------------> UKP 3.00 each. Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 2CDROM set ----> UKP 5.00 per set. Eridani CDROM with Red Hat 5.2 -----> UKP 3.00 each. Red Hat Powertools 5.2 -------------> UKP 3.00 each. Linux-Mandrake 5.3 -----------------> UKP 3.00 each. The install CDROMs include an El Torito boot record, which, on supported hardware make them bootable. The Red Hat 6.0 CDs are made to order, and as such, will have all the Red Hat updates to that time on the CD. Rather than having them in a separate updates directory, we have opted to make them part of the install, so you automatically have an up-to-date Linux system. A large amount of extra software has been included on the CDROM, including Corel WordPerfect (downloadable version) and Sun JDK 1.1.7 (for the programmers out there). Also now included are xawtv and alevt (for bttv-based TV cards), VNC and SSH 1.2.27. A second CD is available, which contains all the source code. Red Hat Linux is just too big now to have all the binaries and sources on the one CD. This CD is also available, also for UKP 3.00. The Debian CD set is the Official Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 (slink) 2CD distribution. The Mandrake CDs are based on the official ISOs. However, since the official ISO doesn't appear to be bootable, we've remade it so it does boot. For more information, and how to order, please visit the web page at: http://www.amush.cx/linux/ International orders accepted, but due to the cost of bank charges and international mail, the prices will be slightly higher. Sorry, we cannot accept credit cards. Cash (Pounds sterling preferred!) and cheques drawn on a UK bank. International bank transfers accepted, however subject to a UKP 2.00 charge due to bank charges. There is a UKP 1.50 charge for postage and packaging within the UK, variable for international customers. - -- Michael "Soruk" McConnell Eridani Star System -- The Most Up-to-Date Red Hat Linux CDROMs Available Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.amush.cx/linux/ Fax: +44-8701-600807 - -- 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 was created, when I was very depressed, trying to read gtk info entries using the standard tools. Pinfo is similar in use to lynx. It has similar key movements, and gives similar intuition. You just move across info nodes, and select links, follow them... Well, you know how it is when you view html with lynx. :) It supports as many colors, as it could. Pinfo also supports viewing of manual pages -- they're colorised like in the midnight commander's viewer, and additionaly they are hypertextualized (i.e. when pinfo encounters a reference of form manualname (n), then you can press enter there, and voila -- you're on the page for `manualname'. Keyboard and colors are fully configurable. Pinfo supports URL's embedded into info documents and man pages. To be precise, supported URL's are mailto, ftp, http. - --- cut --- Changes: - --- cut --- 0.5.4 Fixed highlighting code (the handling of \t's). PgDn works now more `traditionaly' -- at end the last link is selected. Added FILTER-0xB7 config option. Fixed bug in `*note:' detection. Added option for enabling quit confirmation at exit (as in lynx). Added option for clearing screen at exit Added support for lightbackground Fixed nonblack background in displaying contents of text. Added support for multi-dired info dir entries. Finally done some simple search highlighting. - --- cut --- Original-site: http://zeus.polsl.gliwice.pl/~pborys/stable-version/ - -- ____\___\___ (_(\|,|_|,|_ Gassho! | | |. - -- 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.
