The Rice Linux User Group (Houston, TX, US) will be having its first
meeting of the semester at 8pm this coming Monday, September 6 1999 in
room 1049 of Duncan Hall on Rice University Campus. This is a general
organizational meeting, the agenda is mainly to welcome everyone back
from the summer, to set regular meeting times for the fall, and to plan
RLUG activities for the semester. Despite the Rice focus (in the name)
of this LUG, anyone in the Houston area interested in Linux is welcome.
If you need directions, drop an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and we'll be
happy to provide them. More information about the LUG in general can be

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
But at least it's free!
Coming soon from Pengiun Fetish games (yes, really) is Afterglow, a space
adventure that's unmatched by anything you've played, ever. A deep
storyline, masses of background, over 300 star systems, an inter-stellar
conspiracy - and little grey men will never seem quite so far again. If you
liked Elite all those years ago, you should love this! (Net) version has
limited graphics to keep download sizes to a minimum - but this is turning
into the landmark free Linux title for 2000.
Background and other information including some impressive sound bites*
directly from the game may be found at:
http://penguin-fetish.jumpgames.com
* On the prophet, one listener commented: "You can almost smell the
brimstone!"
Website under currently construction. First binaries and *source* due out
Mid Sept. 1999. Scenario and specs available now.
We're looking for a Win9x programmer to do a win version. Should
be a piece of cake if you know your stuff.
M.D.

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
This is the announcement of V0.3.2 of 'pi-address',
an X11 based GUI frontend to the address database of a 3Com Palm Pilot.
You will find the archive at the usual place:
- - ftp://linux.in-berlin.de/pub/pilot/pi-address.tar.gz
(this is always a symlink to the newest version)
and after a short delay at the following mirror site:
- - ftp://pv915.pv.reshsg.uci.edu/pub/pilot/pi-address-0.3.2.tar.gz
The (unofficial) Debian package (i386) can be found at:
- - ftp://linux.in-berlin.de/pub/pilot/packages/debian/.
The Solaris (Sparc) binary can be found at:
- - ftp://linux.in-berlin.de/pub/pilot/binaries/solaris/.
The (unofficial) Solaris (Sparc) package can be found at:
- - ftp://linux.in-berlin.de/pub/pilot/packages/solaris/.
An updated version of the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) is already
in place at:
- - http://www.in-berlin.de/User/miwie/pia/
New in 0.3.2:
* New menuitem "Records / User def. appl. #1" to execute an external
program. Use "UserApplication1" in rc-file to configure the command line
of the external program. All entries of a record can be used (same
format as "PrintingFormat").
Quite a few users suggested this,
e.g. for spawning their email-application:
UserApplication1 = xterm -e mutt "%f %l <%p4>"
or dialing a telephone no. :
UserApplication1 = /path/to/dial-script %p1
* New menuitem "File / Reread database" to reread the currently loaded
database file. (Thanks to Arthur Black for suggesting this).
* New menuitem "Help / Copyright" displays the central part of the GPL.
(Thanks to Andreas Jellinghaus for suggesting this).
* Mapping of phone labels to LDIF attribute names configurable in rc-file
(Thanks to Wolfgang Wiluda for suggesting this).
* Checking access to the device can be disabled using "CheckDevice = 0"
in config file. Some users reported problems in accessing the Pilot
if this is enabled. (Thanks to Matthias Kranz for reporting this bug).
Have fun
Michael

Subject: mGSTEP 0.202 - lite derivative of GNUstep
Date: Sun, 5 Sep 1999 14:02:49 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
A new snapshot of mGSTEP is now available. Screenshots, release
notes and of course the package are available at:
http://farz.home.mindspring.com/far.html
The URL to the package is:
ftp://farz.home.mindspring.com/users/farz/mgstep-0.202.tar.bz2
DESCRIPTION
The mGSTEP package is an attempt at creating a small lite
derivative of GNUstep. mGSTEP and GNUstep are clones of NeXT's
highly acclaimed NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP(tm) graphical user interface
and Objective-C class libraries.
RELEASE NOTES
This latest snapshot includes a wide variety of minor bug fixes and
at least one major bug fix. Patches to NSTimeZone and NSProcessInfo
were recieved from Jeremy Bettis and applied. His patch also adds
regression testing to the Foundation tests. Several patches posted
to 'gnu.gnustep.discuss' were applied.
New features include support for 'Services'. The Services' facility
requires Distributed Objects support which gets built only on Linux
and FreeBSD (tested only on Linux). Classes adapted from the GNUstep
runtime include NSTabView and NSPopupButton. Also new is an
emulation of the Postscript 'curveto' function which provides Bezier
curve drawing. In the future the NSTabView tabs will be drawn via
Bezier curves. A preliminary sample is visible in the last tab view
of the Combo example. NSTextView now supports an inset which along
with a few other tweaks helps to polish Edit.app and the field editor
facility.
SUPPORTED PLATFORMS
mGSTEP can be built on i386 machines running NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP
(built with NS3.2 dev tools), Linux (best platform) or WinNT.
Building the AppKit requires an X server and X headers/libraries.
Comments, bug reports and suggestions should be sent to:

Subject: LOCAL: Bob Young, Founder of LXNY and Head of Red Hat, will speak at the 7
September 1999 LXNY meeting
Date: Sun, 5 Sep 1999 13:54:37 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
LXNY will next meet on Tuesday 7 September 1999 in the IBM building
at 57th Street and Madison Avenue on the Island of Manhattan.
Bob Young, founder of LXNY and today head of Red Hat Software, will speak.
Bob will meet with as many as possible GNU/Linux/Unix/Other hackers,
users, and enthusiasts. Those who have never seen free software in action
are also warmly invited to attend. Skeptics about the possibility of
commercial corporations helping in the writing and distribution of good
software are particularly welcome. Equally welcome are skeptics about the
possibility of anarchy as a mode of production.
This LXNY meeting is free and open to the public.
The meeting starts at 6:30 pm and runs until 9:00 pm. Enter the building
on the corner of 57th Street and Madison Avenue and ask at the front desk
for the room number.
At exactly 9:00 pm many members will repair to our traditional place of
refreshment.
Who is Bob Young?
Bob Young is a founder of and, today, head of Red Hat Software,
a publically traded company, NASDAQ stock symbol RHAT.
http://www.redhat.com
It is believed that Red Hat has, in the North American market, sold more
shrink wrapped free software Linux kernel based GNU/XFree/Other full
operating systems distributions than anybody else.
We quote freely from a Red Hat official blurb:
<blockquote>
About Red Hat Software, Inc.
Red Hat Software is a computer software development company that sells
products and provides services related to Linux, a freely available
UN*X-like operating system. Linux has all the features of any
full-fledged operating system, but the nature of Linux enables Red Hat
to offer higher quality software solutions at lower cost.
Red Hat's mission is to "provide professional tools to computing
professionals". As such we work with Linux development groups around
the world over the Internet to review, package, and develop
Linux-based tools, making them useful for computing professionals who
do not have the time or interest to keep up with the cutting edge of
development. In the course of this work Red Hat:
1. Builds tools, which we release as freely redistributable software
available for unrestricted download off of thousands of sites on
the Internet,
2. Publishes books and software applications, provides technical
support, and
3. Manufactures shrink-wrapped software, versions of the Linux OS,
making it accessible to the broadest possible range of computer
users.
<stuff-deleted/>
Red Hat Software's primary contributions to the Linux development
model are the thousands of lines of code we contribute and maintain as
freely distributable software under the terms of the GPL. We also
contribute financially in a significant way to a variety of Linux and
GNU projects, and hope you will join us in supporting this remarkable
revolution in computer technology development.
</blockquote>
Perhaps the best known code written at Red Hat is kernel code, GNOME code,
the RPM package manager, and the Red Hat installer and configurator tools.
Red Hat is serious about free software. Red Hat spends an astonishing 20%
of its gross income making new free software. All, not just some, of the
code produced by designers and coders working for Red Hat is licensed
under the GNU General Public License.

Subject: Announcing Magick++ 0.8.6 image-processing library
Date: Sun, 5 Sep 1999 14:06:36 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Magick++ is a sophisticated portable C++ application programming
interface (API) to the ImageMagick image processing library
(libMagick). Magick++ currently provides access to 65 major image
processing operations. This count does not include the many options
(some of which could be considered operations themselves) available
to those operations. Magick++ is able to read and write over 50
image file formats due to its use of ImageMagick.
The Magick++ C++ API to ImageMagiMagick++ is co-packaged (in a
sub-directory) of ImageMagick 4.2.9 so that compatibility is
ensured. Read more about Magick++ (including full documentation and
source release) on the Web at "http://www.simplesystems.org/Magick++/".
Magick++ supports an simple object model which is inspired by the
PERL interface to ImageMagick (PerlMagick). Unlike some other
C++-based image processing libraries Magick++ is not a
incomprehensible explosion of inherited classes. Magick++ executes
quickly since it is written in a compiled language which is not
parsed at run-time. This makes it suitable for Web CGI programs.
Images support implicit reference counting so that copy
constructors and assignment incur almost no cost. The cost of
actually copying an image (if necessary) is done just before
modification and this copy is managed automatically by Magick++.
De-referenced copies are automatically deleted. The image objects
support value (rather than pointer) semantics so it is trivial to
support multiple generations of an image in memory at one time.
Magick++ provides integrated support for STL. This support allows
Magick++ to be used with the Standard Template Library (STL) so
that the powerful containers available (e.g. vector and list) can
be used to write programs similar to those possible with PERL &
PerlMagick. STL-compatable template versions of ImageMagick's
list-style operations are provided so that operations may be
performed on multiple images stored in STL containers.
Obtain Magick++ by downloading the ImageMagick 4.2.9 release (Unix
source release or NT binary+source release) from
ftp://ftp.wizards.dupont.com/pub/ImageMagick/ or one of its many
mirrors. If you already have ImageMagick 4.2.9 installed, you may
install Magick++ using the release package on the Magick++ web
site.

Title: Magick++ image processing library (in C++)
Version: 0.8.6
Entered-date: 30AUG99
Description: Magick++ is a library written in C++ that provides
a user-friendly interface to the sophisticated
image-processing capabilities of ImageMagick. Magick++
supports an object model and API which is inspired by
PerlMagick, the PERL interface to ImageMagick. Magick++
provides reference-based garbage collection and
efficient value-based assignment to make working with
images no more difficult than working with integers.
Pointers are not a requirement in order to use Magick++.
In order to deal with collections of image frames,
Magick++ is fully integrated with the Standard Template
Library (STL) so that image frames may be stored in, and
operated on, in STL containers (e.g. vector and list).
STL-compatable template versions of ImageMagick's
list-style operations are provided so that operations
may be performed on multiple images stored in STL
containers. Magick++ is platform independent (only
requiring standard C++) and is currently supported under
Unix and Windows.
