is this only a gtk theme, or does it include a metacity and icon theme
as well?

Subject: Re: PPM compression algorithms.

Thank you for the detailed replies and for the analysis.

Can you close 179804 with the appropriate information from you and Charles
Bloom? I haven't learned the BTS system well enough. I assume Charles
Bloom's comments are a sufficient reason to close bug 179804.

Ok, I'll do that.

>From Charles Blom:

Hi guys, a few notes :

PPMZ was never really intended for direct use in production software;
it's more of a test-bed.  For example, it was never really optimized.
Malcolm Taylor took a lot of the ideas of PPMZ and put them in RKive,
which is very fast.  Also, the so-called "PPMd" and PPMii are based on
PPMZ, and are more finely tweaked and optimized.

PPMii is very good; it's similar to PPMZ but tweaked and improved in
various ways.  The biggest difference is that he is doing a bit of
"Context mixing and blending" across contexts which are not directly
linked in the Markov chain.

PPMd - I don't think there are any actual papers on.  This is NOT the
"PPMD" algorithm of Bill Teahan, so it's somewhat mis-named.  I believe
it's very similar to PPMZ, but with some tweaks and special custom support
for text files and binaries.

I'm no longer actively working in compression; I haven't really touched
the
PPMZ's in several years.  In modern stuff, PPMd is obviously good.  The
primary algorithms in this area are PPMZ and PPMii ; there are
implementations
like BOA and PPMonstr that are very good, and many more.

  Description : A high-quality 3d visualization project for commodity 
hardware

The OpenQVis project implements methods for interactive high-quality volume
visualization on general purpose hard-ware such as commodity desktop

The aim of this project is to achieve high image quality comparable to
traditional ray-casting solutions at interactive frame rates on inexpensive
hardware platforms.

Bug#180878: ITP: tagged -- Module for reading tags of MP3 audio files

[Dagfinn Ilmari Mannsaker]

Package: wnpp
Version: unavailable; reported 2003-02-13
Severity: wishlist

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

* Package name: tagged
  Version : 0.40
  Upstream Author : Thomas Geffert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* URL : http://tagged.sourceforge.net/
* License : Not decided yet (probably GPL+Artistic)
  Description : Module for reading tags of MP3 audio files

  Tag is a wrapper module to read different tags of mp3 files. It
  provides an easy way to access the functions of separate modules which
  do the handling of reading/writing the tags itself.
  .
  At the moment MP3::Tag::ID3v1 and MP3::Tag::ID3v2 are supported.

The only binary package provides so far is libmp3-tag-perl, but this
will probably expand with time (there are som example scripts possibly
worthy of their own packages, particularly a Tk frontend (which requires
Tk::JPEG which is not in Debian)).

I have contacted upstream regarding the license, and he is in the
process of chosing one now.
