This is an announce for 'Record Management 0.5'
- - -----------------------------------------------
What is 'Record Management'?
- - ----------------------------
'Record Management' is a program to manage large sound carrier archives. It
is able to store singles (old records with only one song per side) and
records with multiple cuts on it, like LPs, CDs, MCs, MP3-CDs and other
sound carriers. The program is based on a database and has a GUI front end.
This makes it even for the novice user easy to use.
'Record Management' is designed to have separate database tables for the
singles and the other sound carriers. Therefore the handling for each type
of sound carrier is optimal.
If you've already stored all your CDs in a local CDDB database, you can
easily add all your CDs to the database of 'Record Management' without
retyping anything. All you've to do is inserting the CD in your local CD
drive and hit a button in the application. 'Record Management' reads then
the track information from the CD and mixes it with the data of the
appropriate CDDB entry. The result is entered automatically into the
database of 'Record Management'.
What do I need to use 'Record Management'?
- - ------------------------------------------
'Record Management' uses Lesstif (GPLed) together with Xmt (Shareware) for
the GUI interface. Additionally you need Xbae (GPLed) and 'libcdaudio'
(GPLed). Currently 'Record Management' can use only Informix currently as
database. Support for Postgres is planned but not realised yet. (Any help
is welcome!)
Hint:
If you've S.u.S.E. Linux 6.1 or 6.2 you've got an Informix distribution
with it. All you have to do is getting a license key (unlimited personal
license!). To get one, you've to register at Informix. It's absolutely
free!

Subject: KStock v1.1 beta1 - a stock ticker

I am proud to announce you:
KStock version 1.1b1, 21 Aug 1999
Copyleft 1999 Dirk Raebiger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Homepage: http://uhura.biologie.uni-freiburg.de/~drabiger/
where the latest version can be found.
KStock gets stock information from given URLs and shows them in a window where
a text will be scrolled.
Introduction
KStock opens an URL and receives the information. It then tries to interpret it.
The most important thing is to create good config-entries.
KStock needs a page that contains the stock information.
It may be a public accessible text file as well as a public HTML page.
Some institutes offer stock information in the World Wide Web. Sometimes they
use tickers displaying the share values. My problem was that I couldn't find a
ticker that showed me all the values I needed. With KStock, you don't need a
web browser just to get the stock information you want. You can display exactly
the number of values you are interested in.
Changes for v1.1b1
new: multiple servers
bugfix: crash if no server was defined
bugfix: declared read, write and errno as extern
(Red Hat users had problem without that)
new: package contains example configuration file kstockrc.
It contains server information for www.bank24.de, a german bank.
The page contains DAX information.
Requirements
KDE v1.0 or higher
Qt libraries v1.42 or higher
KDE-dev libraries (for tarballs)
Qt-dev libraries v1.42 or higher (for tarballs)
