It lets you define 'houses' and 'roads' to sit on a '3D website'. The intent is to create a simple method of site construction, but with enough variety to make the generation of useful sites possible. The site consists of HTML and CGI scripts (written in Perl). You should have Apache installed. To view the sites you will also need a VRML 2.0 viewer, and it is recommended that this is associated with your Netscape (or whatever) browser. **** Please note, the installation is known to work on Caldera and Red-Hat Linux. Other distributions have not been tested.

I screwed up the code that handled the combination of permissions across multiple roles and permission matrices, which broke things horribly for everyone but supergash. On the positive side, the bug revealed another bug that might have layed dormant for a long time in the absence of the big bug, so two for the price of one. I generally wouldn't pop out a new release so soon, but this permissions bug makes it impossible to do anything real with Ganymede unless you are just logging in with the supergash account for testing, and it might have mightily confused anyone who actually tried to dig a bit deep into Ganymede. - -------------------- Changes from 0.99.2 to 0.99.3 ------------------- RELEASE DATE: June 23, 1999 1. [SERVER] Fixed value() in StringDBField.java The value() method in StringDBField.java was improperly forcing a permissions check, despite the fact that value() was used for server-side code only. This was causing a problem at transaction commit-time under certain conditions, caused by the PermMatrix.union() bug below. 2. [SERVER] Fixed bugs in permissions system Ugh, I had screwed up PermMatrix.union() in 0.99.2, the object->field inheritance logic wasn't working properly. I fixed PermMatrix.union(), simplified GanymedeSession.getPerm(), and modified both PermEntry.union() and PermEntry.intersection() to optimize out a lot of new PermEntry creation. - -- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jonathan Abbey [EMAIL PROTECTED] Applied Research Laboratories The University of Texas at Austin Ganymede, a free NIS/DNS management system http://www.arlut.utexas.edu/gash2 - -- 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.

The Audio-Quality-HOWTO version 0.0.5 has been posted to: http://members.tripod.com/~slinkP/pw_linux/Audio-Quality-HOWTO.html Sorry about the huge URL and the banner ads. This document will eventually have a better home when it's a little further along. PLEASE CONTRIBUTE! Any information relevant to the HOWTO is welcome. The biggest question currently is: Should the Audio-Quality-HOWTO continue to exist as a separate document, OR should it be folded in to the existing Sound HOWTO? On the one hand, the Sound HOWTO is well-distributed and is the obvious place for all sound-related information. On the other hand, the Audio-Quality-HOWTO is already getting a bit large... Opinions, please! List of topics now covered: 1. Reducing Cheap Soundcard Noise 1. Software 2. Hardware 3. When Nothing Helps 2. Other Sound Quality Issues 1. Garbage In... 2. Dropouts 3. Notes on Full Duplex Recording 1. multiple soundcards 2. lockups 4. Audio CDs 5. Converting Soundfiles 6. Testing Your Soundcard 7. Shopping for Cheap Soundcards 1. Drivers 2. Cards that Sound Good 3. Testing Your Card 8. Using Pro and Semi-Pro Soundcards in Linux 9.

Until now, the Web publishing of dynamic data resources could only be accomplished with enormous efforts, which had a clear prohibiting effect. Breaking down the data in order to create single, static HTML pages is no solution because of clumsy search capabilities and a need for high amounts of maintenance work. On the other hand, programming a genuine, hand-tailored database Web publishing solution is very costly both up-front and in the long term since it is often impossible to re-use parts of that individual solution for new or similar projects. As easy to use Web publishing tools, infoware's Web publishing applications for the desktop, ODARS2web Publisher and ODARS4Search Publisher (for Windows), allow the complete menu-driven setup of full text Web database and search engine applications. These dynamic Web applications may then be published on any Web server with an installed ODARS ISP Server which is free to any commercial and institutional ISP and available for most popular Web server OS (Linux, CobaltOS, FreeBSD, Sun/Solaris etc.). Web publishing (client side) *and* Web hosting (provider side) made easy. For more information, please read our ODARS ISP Concept @ http://www.odars.com/ To evaluate the ODARS ISP Server for Linux, 'ftp' to ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/admin/isp/ and download the files odarsisp-linux-3.1.0.tar.gz odarsisp-linux-3.1.0.lsm or, if you need versions for CobaltOS or FreeBSD, goto http://www.odars.com/english/software/isp-server/download Again: Using ODARS ISP Server is FREE OF CHARGE for commercial and/or institutional ISPs / IPPs (with no strings attached) ! For information on ODARS desktop applications (for generating and up- loading Web DB's and Web search engines) in the US, check out http://www.techarts.com/ Thanks for your attention and patience.

Six distinct conferences covering Linux, Perl, Apache, Python, Tcl/Tk and sendmail, plus an Open Source business track, are all included in one admission price. You can immerse yourself in a single conference for maximum exposure to one technology, or just chose the presentations that benefit you the most. The now-famous pizza and beer bashes were a highlight of last August's Perl Conference 2.0. Grab a beer and rub elbows with open source luminaries and be part of this year's historic gathering. There'll be keynotes, tutorials, as well as planned and spontaneous birds-of-a-feather sessions every night where you can debate licensing, support, and various business models (and share tips and code) until dawn. Register by July 15 and you'll get a T-shirt. But since you can't eat shirts, we're also offering up to $200 off your registration fees. But hurry; last year, there were waiting lists for many of the tutorials and space is limited.
