Hi everybody:

I just put another AD&Dv1 program up in the anonymous ftp archives.
This one is for use with the IBM-PC, and it assumes some variation
(particularly when it comes to magic) from the standard rules.
The program basically generates NPC's, a whole band of them, in
such a way that each one fits in one 80-column line. Basically
you get their class, combat stats, exceptional ability scores,
weapon, armor, etc.... and the DM gets to run an encounter with
a whole smear of NPC's from one page of computer printout. The
program is simple to use and simple to modify (its QB45 source
code is included with the compiled version).

     Site: potemkin.cs.pdx.edu
     IP: 131.252.20.145
     Directory: pub/frp/src
     File: band.zip

Enjoy... and if you have any trouble with it, or if you need it
emailed to you, or if you need help unziping it (i.e. you don't
have any unziping software) let me know.

Good gaming,

A free port of the Mach 3.0 micro-kernel to the pc532, a National
Semiconductor 32532 based single board computer, is now available.

This is a first public version. Improvements are still needed in some
areas and bug reports / fixes are most welcome: send them to
mach-532-bugs@cs.hut.fi. Also, this is not a complete operating
system. A Un*x server is still needed to run application programs.

A port of the 4.3BSD emulation along with libraries and user programs
has been done and it comes up multi-user but it will not be
distributed due to licensing restrictions.

A version of the net2 based bnr2ss server has been done but it is not
yet in a useful state.  (Unfortunately also the freeness of this along
with the rest of net2, most of which has been built and ported to the
pc532, has been cast in doubt by the Dark Forces).


The porting was done at Helsinki University of Technology by
Johannes Helander, Tero Kivinen, and Tatu Ylonen as an attempt to
obtain some familiarity with the Mach operating system and to get a
real operating system for the pc532.

Many thanks to the Carnegie Mellon Mach group for designing this
superb operating system and for their openness and help. Thanks to
Dave Rand and George Scolaro for designing the pc532 and making the
design freely available. Thanks to Jukka Virtanen, Ian Dall, and Jukka
Partanen for contributing time to this effort as well as to Bruce
Culbertson and Bob Krause for the disassembler.


The sources can be obtained through anonymous ftp from nic.funet.fi in
directory pub/mach/pc532-src. The file pc532.MK78.tar.Z (245737 bytes)
is a set of add-on files to the kernel version MK78 as distributed by
CMU. Some binaries can be found in pub/mach/pc532-bin.

New versions matching future CMU versions will be added when needed.
Other useful sources and binaries, such as bnr2ss, libc, user
programs, etc. will be added as soon as they work well enough and
their uncontaminatedness has been verified.

There is a mailing list mach-532@cs.hut.fi for persons interested in
continued development of Mach for the pc532. To be added to the list
or to be removed from it, please send mail to mach-532-request@cs.hut.fi.

Greetings from Allegheny College,

The HotShapePalette is now available for anonymous ftp from pellns.alleg.edu.   
It lives in /pub/Objects.  The documentation and source are included. 

Here's an excerpt from the HotShape documentation file.

*********************************************************************

CLASS DESCRIPTION

A HotShape is a Control subclass that intercepts mouse-down events and sends an  
action message to a target object whenever the mouse is clicked in the hot  
region.   The hot region is determined by a path in the associated file  
HotPath.psw.  The hot path can be visible or invisible. 

The standard HotPath.psw  file  contains, in the function setHotPaths(),  the  
postscript for elliptical, rectangular, diamond, star, triangular and octagonal  
paths.   If additional paths are desired for your HotShape control, simply add  
the postscript  to the setHotPaths() function in HotPath.psw.  If you are using  
the HotShape palette (see below), you will need to recompile the palette.

For ease of use, the HotShape has been palettized and has an inspector which  
allows you to select the hot path for the HotShape, whether the hot shape is  
visible or invisible, and to set the tag.  Any project built with the HotShape  
palette will need to add HotShape.(hm), SmallCell.(hm) and HotShape.psw to the  
project being built.

Have you ever dreamt of shutting down a VAXcluster or several VAXen with
one mouse click. Now here we are. DWSHUTDOWN V1.0 is now released. It runs
in an OSF/Motif environment and requires DECwindows/Motif V1.0 or later and
VAX/VMS V5.4 or later. It won't work with the Motif Developer's Kit.

Some features:

  - Shutdown time range from 0 to 120 minutes, selectable by slider
  - Nodes are selectable from a dialog box with a scrolled list
  - Shutdown options are selectable as toggle and/or radio buttons
    from a dialog box
  - All settings can be saved in a resource file

Restrictions:

  - Restore (named) options not yet supported (I don't get it running, maybe
    someone out there has an idea)
  - No online help available in this release
  - Selected node names are not saved in resource file

The package consists of 3 savesets DWSHUTDOWN010.A/B/C and can simply
installed invoking VMSINSTAL. The savesets are available via anonymous
ftp from

	olymp.informatik.uni-bonn.de in the directory
	/pub/vms/dwshutdown

as DWSHUTDOWN010.A_Z/B_Z/C_Z.

After packaging the source files I will leave them also in this directory
in a few days.

Archive-name: auto/rec.games.moria/New-Version-of-Purple-X-s-Moria-for-the-Mac


Purple X's Moria for the Macintosh v1.0 has been released and should be
avaliable via FTP from sumex-aim.stanford.edu and mac.archive.umich.edu in
about a week, and should appear on comp.binaries.mac in three to four weeks.
For New Zealanders it will be avaliable sometime next week at
ftphost.aukuni.ac.nz.

New in version 1.0
-----------------
* The game has been updated to UMoria 5.5.0, previous releases were of
UMoria 5.4.0. UMoria 5.5.0 was released on 12 August 1992.

* The Open File Dialog has been modified to optionally allow you to open any
file. This makes the previously included application "Change Type to Moria
Save" obsolete, thus it is no longer included in the distribution package.

* The document "Wizard's Quest" is included. This is a written account of a
game of Moria by David Grabiner. It contains lots of hints and useful advice
for playing Moria.

* "Font Size" window now implemented, and a new about box :-)

* You can now "Save" or "Save As" a character and continue playing
immediately, instead of having to reload the character after every save.

* The game will now ask you if you want to save a new game or not when you
quit or die. previously it was impossible to quit the game without saving the
current character. It still automatically saves the current character when
starting from a save file to keep it in line with the way UMoria works.

* Some monsters were the wrong colour. This has been fixed.

* Will now properly handle fonts that are not installed in a user's system.
It now recognises VT100 and Prestige Elite without modification as well as
Monaco and Courier. To add another font, just append it's name to the Font
Menu using ResEdit.

* the game always defaulted to Original commands ignoring what was set in
the save file. This was reported by various people who like the rogue
command set, and has been fixed.

* spelling mistakes and typos have been fixed (ie "Show Wights in
Inventory")

Archive-name: auto/comp.text.tex/FoilTeX-now-available

What is FoilTeX?
   FoilTeX is a LaTeX-like system for typesetting foils, slides,
transparencies, etc.  It differs quit a bit from SliTeX, both
in usability and in presentation.  It supports very large fonts
and all of LaTeX's font changing commands (using Old Font Selection
Scheme).   There are lots of built-ins for helping user's structure
their foils and it supports (automatically) just about everything
in standard LaTeX.  For more information, please consult the
documentation (foildoc.tex) which is part of the package.
   FoilTeX supports and is completely compatible with the new
color scheme included in recent releases of Rokicki's dvips driver.
(In fact, it was the FoilTeX effort that lead to the development
of that color scheme.)  Consequently, FoilTeX can be easily used
to get one-pass multicolor foils (if used with the right driver
and printer, of course).


Where is FoilTeX?
   The first official non-IBM version of FoilTeX has just been
installed on some of the TeX archives.  It can be found in
   LOCAL:[ANONYMOUS.TEX.INPUTS.FOILTEX] at ymir.claremont.edu
   soft/tex/foiltex at ftp.uni-stuttgart.de
   DISK$TEX:[TEX-ARCHIVE.FOILTEX] at TeX.ac.uk
and hopefully other archives as well.
   In all but the Aston archives you will find both a collection
of plain (ascii) files as well as a compressed tar file of the
entire package.


Who developed FoilTeX?
   FoilTeX was originally developed by here at IBM's
Almaden Research Center a couple of years ago.  It has found wide use
and acceptance inside IBM and the version out on the TeX archives is
an updated and improved version.  The archived version is also the
first release of the package outside of IBM.
   The package was first publicly announced at the TUG'92 meeting
in Portland, OR.


Any comments, questions or suggestions are welcome either on this
forum or by contacting me directly.

Archive-name: auto/comp.infosystems.gopher/A-Gopher-gateway-to-Ph

After Gopher '92 and seeing the X.500 to Gopher gateway, I
decided to write a Ph (CSO name server) to Gopher gateway. Both
gateways incorporate the I concept of using existing parts of
the Gopher protocol to access new information sources or
services. Since searching and navigation are part of the Gopher
protocol it makes sense to use these with Ph. Thus Phq.

Phq is a Gopher server that knows how to respond to search,
folder, and file requests with information from Ph. Search
(type 7) and folder (type 1) requests return a list of Gopher
files (type 0) derived from Ph records that match the given
query. File (type 0) requests return a Ph record.

You can use folders for navigation. For example, our Gopher
server has the link

Name=News Bureau Staff
Type=1
Path=1department="News Bureau"
Host=gopher.brown.edu
Port=1070

This link is displayed as a folder on the client. Opening the
folder, the client sees a list of the News Bureau staff. This
staff listing is infact the result of a Ph query. Opening one
of the list's items will display that staffer's Ph entry.

Searching requires that you have a search link, for example

Name=Search Brown's Online Directory
Type=7
Path=7
Host=gopher.brown.edu
Port=1070

Try Phq out and see if you like it. Phq is a simple server with
little error handling. If Brown decides to use it, I will
strengthen it. Since all Ph servers are a little different, you
might have to modify the code a little to work with your Ph
server. What to modify is documented in the source.

Phq is available via anonymous FTP at ftp.brown.edu

Judging by the amount of requests recorded in our ftp-log there are
many readers of rec.food.cooking who are familiar with this cookbook.
For those of you who are not, here are the details.

The Network Cookbook was composed by a reader of rec.food.cooking who
wishes to remain anonymous.  I can attest that she is a great cook
and a great hacker. She has collected recipes from rec.food.cooking
and rec.food.recipes for several years. She chose mostly non-trivial
stuff, and her personal taste and preferences in cooking should show
up in the selections. I believe that she had tried most of the recipes
if not all of them. 

Recently, Ms. X took the time to transform this collection into LaTeX.
At this point, I took over and added few more macros and dropped in
some hacks. 

DISCLAIMER: I do not know much about cooking or recipes myself, and
I have never tried making any of the recipes in the book. I can take
very little credit (or blame) for this book. My only objective was
to make this book available to our local users community, and to
the usenet readers.

The book is available for anonymous ftp download as:

	cs.ubc.ca:/pub/local/RECIPES/main.ps  

		(A huge >1.6MB postscript file ready to print)

	cs.ubc.ca:/pub/local/RECIPES/main.dvi

		(The LaTeX dvi file. Use this together with your local
		dvi2something to print to non postscript printers)

	cs.ubc.ca:/pub/local/RECIPES/main.tar.Z

		(The input files in unix TAR format. This includes 
		all the recipes in their LaTeX input form)

In addition, you can download individual recipes as

	cs.ubc.ca:/pub/local/RECIPES/CHAPNAME/*.tex 

A huge collection of other recipes and misc sources 
(altogether it is inputs to to other books) exists in

	cs.ubc.ca:/pub/local/RECIPES/--todo/*

As the name may suggest, you are on your own while searching
in this subtree.

PS: Ms. X doesn't is no where near Vancouver, Canada, so don't
bother guessing.
