Xenon 0.6.3 - (yet another) GUI X-based text editor.

Where:
- ------
http://www.proximity.com.au/~ben/xenon.html
ftp://ftp.proximity.com.au/pub/xenon/

Eventually:

ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/apps/editors/X/xenon-0.6.3.tar.gz

    Xenon is a simple, small and fast X-based text editor. It is most
useful for editing plain text files with no fuss.

    Xenon does not use any GUI library for efficiency reasons. Unfortunately
this means some basic features one would expect from an X program may not
be working yet.

Features include:
  * Speed, simplicity and low memory use.
  * Search, substring or regular expression (Linux only)
  * Unlimited undo/redo.
  * Display of line numbers, jump to line number
  * Some X resource configuration: mostly command keys, some colours
  * Man page!
  * Some error dialogs.
  * Multiple files in separate windows.
  * Open multiple files from the command line
  * Run Once (only one process per uid and X connection IP number)

Limitations include (currently):
  * Non-proportional font only.
  * No macros.

Compiles on: Linux, SGI, probably most other UNIX implementations with
g++.

Requires: C++ compiler (egcs or SGI compiler)

Copying: GPL

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====


Current release: 0.8.2 (1999-08-03)
 
Source code (Licence: GPL) and some screenshots available on
http://home.sol.no/~espensa/khexedit/

Khexedit is a versatile and customizable hex editor. It displays 
data in hexadecimal, octal, binary and text mode. New input can be
inserted into the file or it can replace current data just like 
in a common text editor. Undo/Redo functionality is included as 
well as formatted printing. Supports XDND. Khexedit is designed to 
integrate into the KDE environment but can be used as a stand alone 
program as long as the KDE and Qt libraries are installed on 
your computer. 


* Qt 2.x based version ready
* (Qt 2) Improved (faster) redrawing.
* (Qt 2) Borders in hex editor window (as in QMultiLineEdit)
* (Qt 2) DnD the active file to other Qt 2 based programs (eg kwrite)
* (Qt 2) Supports text drop from a QMultilineEdit widget (eg kedit)
* (Qt 2) Remembers cursor position from one session to the next.
* (Qt 2) Clear "Recent" list on demand or on exit.
* Bugfix: Segmentation fault when dropping a drag FROM khexedit
(internal drag using XDND protocol) on a remote application solved.
* Bugfix: Some missing keyboard accelerators fixed.
* BugFix: Faulty session management in Print Dialog (Options|Colors) fixed.
* Bit swap widget will now ignore Escape to allow the key event to 
close the dialog when focus is on the bit swap widget.
* The Escape key will now abort the internal drag operation 
(WARNING: Bug in Qt 2.0 causes a seg. fault if you do this, but works
in Qt 1.4x and Qt > 2.0 )
* Some small changes in layout management in various dialogs.   
* String dialog now contains an improved list which makes it 
possible to sort strings either alphabetically or on increasing
 offsets. Idea and some code:  Dima Rogozin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>


Hope you find it useful.

HP put out this press release today...  /richi.

                       OPENMAIL TO SUPPORT LINUX;
              FREE BETA VERSION NOW AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD

 HP�s Messaging/Collaboration Solution for the Linux Operating System is
                   Proven, Robust and Fully Functional

PALO ALTO, Calif., Aug. 2, 1999 -- Hewlett-Packard Company today
announced that OpenMail 6.0, HP�s strategic business-messaging and
collaboration solution for UNIX(R) system computers, also will support
the Linux operating system. By supporting Linux, OpenMail 6.0 will
provide its upgraded functionality and e-services(1) capabilities to the
growing number of Linux-based businesses, offering a low-cost
alternative to other enterprise-messaging solutions.

HP expects OpenMail for Linux to be available in September. A free beta
version is available now on the Internet at www.hp.com/go/openmail.

�HP believes that many Linux-based businesses need the type of proven
enterprise capabilities that today�s OpenMail customers enjoy,� said
Nigel Upton, general manager of HP�s OpenMail business. �OpenMail gives
the Linux community a compelling alternative to �generic� Internet
e-mail servers.�


OpenMail:  Proven Capabilities and Robust Functionality

In addition to robust Internet e-mail-standards support, the Linux
edition of OpenMail will include rich support for Microsoft(R) Outlook
(including full wide-area calendar/schedule access) and OpenMail 6.0�s
new Web client.

As the only non-Microsoft server that supports the rich scheduling and
collaboration functionality of Microsoft Outlook, HP�s OpenMail 6.0 is a
unique solution.

HP showcased OpenMail�s flexible and functionally rich Web-based
technology at the 1998 World Cup soccer tournament. One OpenMail server
successfully provided communications for thousands of journalists and
officials across the tournament�s wide-area intranet in France.


Why Linux?

 �As the credibility and popularity of Linux continues to increase, HP
wants to provide customers running this operating system with our
premier business-messaging product for UNIX systems,� said Upton.
�Uniting the power of OpenMail with the growing strength of Linux
provides a compelling new solution for businesses to deploy
cost-effective yet robust messaging.�

This announcement is part of HP�s strategic vision to take the lead as a
provider of Linux and open-source solutions for the deployment of
Web/e-mail/infrastructure servers. HP expects strong demand for
alternative system solutions and will provide continued development in
this area by promoting HP value-added features, support for the
open-source community and an excellent Linux hardware offering with the
HP NetServer line of Intel(R)-based servers. HP is a sponsoring
corporate member of Linux International, a non-profit organization
consisting of industry influencers dedicated to the continuous
open-source development of Linux.

Subject: mined - versatile "simple" text mode editor; opt. mouse & menus
Date: Mon,  9 Aug 1999 19:23:17 GMT

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====


Mined 98 is hereby released to the internet public.
An editor that is small and simple to use but yet full of capabilities.

For those who remember or still use it: The previous version of mined 
was the one I released in September 1995 ("sixth public release").


Highlights
- ----------

UTF-8 Unicode support:
* Works with UTF-8 text mode terminals or windows like xterm.
* Auto-detection of Latin-1, UTF-8 or UTF-16 input encoding.
* Commands and input support for display and handling of code values.
* Transparent handling of illegal UTF-8 sequences.
* Can edit UTF-8 text in non-UTF terminals.
* (Can, of course, also edit Latin-1 text in UTF-8 terminals.)

User interface:
* Intuitive, simple way of operation. No modes.
  Intuitive cursor position handling, no weird limitations (e.g. at line-end) 
  or insert/append confusion.
* "Geometric" control-key layout for basic cursor movements (also known 
  as "WordStar" layout). (Cursor keys can be used as well, of course.)
* Use of a "HOP" key which amplifies any subsequent movement command 
  (and some other commands) in an intuitive sense. This way, a lot of 
  functions can be achieved quickly without remembering as many 
  control or function keys.
  On a numeric keypad, the middle "5" key is used for this function in 
  order to gain a lot of very quickly-typed navigation commands.
  (Function similar to WordStar's control-Q)
* Two key commands (starting with escape key) for less frequent functions.
* Mouse control available (xterm).
* Pull-down menus and a quick pop-up menu available.
* View only and restricted modes.
* Additional 8 bit character input and output support for uncapable 
  terminals (additional to being 8-bit clean, of course).
  Composition function for accented characters.
* Optional support of mixed 8/16-Bit character sets. 
  Works with the Chinese xterm (cxterm).

Screen interaction:
* Perfect responsiveness to terminal/window size changes. On resizing 
  the window, mined will immediately adjust and update its display - 
  the text cursor position will stay where it was.
  Resizing also works while prompting for input (e.g. search text).
  (In the MSDOS version, there is a slight limitation when font 
  substitution TSRs like VGAMAX (recommended!) change the screen size; 
  in this case, mined will react after the next keystroke. Explicit 
  resizing commands are available in the MSDOS version, too).
* MSDOS version works at arbitrary size screens (especially extended text 
  modes like e.g. 132x44). (Of course, the Unix version works at any size 
  anyway.)
  Mined also respects your colour settings.
* Nice screen output starting from current position and growing to the 
  top and bottom (useful with slow terminal connections for quick 
  visual focus on cursor position).
  This option can even be enforced by slight output delay as it appears 
  to more naturally suggest to the users where they are.
* Display of filename and modification status in window header line and icon.
* Optional indication of line-end, TAB characters, and long line shift-out.
* Proportional screen font support prepared.
* Wordstar-compatible keyboard layout option (in addition to basic 
  cursor movement which always uses "topographic layout"). This option 
  includes some WordStar compatibility command supplements.
* Optional exchange of function attachments to Backspace and Delete keys.
* Function key sequences for many common terminal types are always activated 
  (vt100, vt100 application mode, Sun, various xterm settings, Linux console, 
  HP and Iris workstation X windows, PC keyboard) - I know termcap is 
  supposed to handle this but often many function keys are not configured; 
  also remote Unix operation from a PC should thus be enabled.
* The MSDOS version has a few screen mode switching functions 
  (e.g. increase/decrease of vertical or total screen size).

Secure text and file handling:
* Consequent checking of any loss of text risk:
  * In any case of file writing or other text saving problem 
    mined will continue the editing session instead of exiting.
  * No external file other than the original source of the text 
    being edited will be overwritten without confirmation by any 
    text or buffer save operation.
  * No accidental quit without prompting for any unsaved changes.
* All file handling errors are reported quoting clear error indications 
  (in contrast to the cryptic messages of all those classic Unix tools...)
* In case of external interrupts, panic handling attempts to save text 
  to a panic file.

Text editing features:
* Word/line wrap with left/right margins and first line indentation.
  (Uses either empty lines or blank/non-blank line ends as paragraph 
  indications.)
* Paste between different (including subsequent) sessions of mined.
* Cut/Copy/Paste/Copy to file/Paste from other session functions 
  with optional append mode.
* Insert command for HTML commands.
* Multiple text position markers.

Search functions:
* Search/replace with optional interactive confirmation.
  Extended search functions:
* Search function for identifier at current cursor position.
* Search function for matching parenthesis.
* Repeat function for the two previous search operations.
* Startup search expression on command line.
* Startup option for line number positioning.

Other useful features:
* Optional memory of last cursor position when a file save command is issued, 
  automatic re-positioning in next editing session.
* Change of file name / working directory association while editing.
* Editing within pipe option (Unix version).
* Suspend function (^Z) with autosave.
* Unix/DOS/Mac Line-end conversions.

Portability:
* Runs on Unix and MSDOS, used to run on VMS which I cannot check any more.
* Should compile on any Unix version - if there are problems, please ask me.

From: Paul Rusty Russell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: Netfilter homepage/list move: Packet mangling for Linux 2.3+
Date: Mon,  9 Aug 1999 19:25:54 GMT

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====


Web Page:
        http://netfilter.kernelnotes.org

List (netfilter):
        http://lists.samba.org

Due to prolonged downtime of rustcorp.com (the ipchains home), I've
been rescued by Jim Pick and Andrew Tridgell who provided me with a
new Web Page and Mailing List for netfilter.

Netfilter is a proposed infrastructure for packet mangling: filtering,
NAT, masquerading, transparent proxying.  It is aimed for inclusion in
the official Linux kernel before Linux 2.4.

Rusty,
Linux IP Packet Filter guy.
