Archive-name: auto/comp.windows.x/Announcing-xp-xpick-and-xzap


I have written three small Athena Widget applications based on programs
described in "The Unix Programming Environment" by Kernighan and Pike,
and called them xp,xpick and xzap.

They are available for anonymous ftp on export.lcs.mit.edu
in contrib as xp-1.1.tar.Z, xpick-1.0.tar.Z and  xzap-1.0.tar.Z.


XP
xp uses a readonly Text widget to display its standard input, or files
given as arguments, in a single top level window.

Some of its features are:

geometry in lines and columns,
egrep-style regular expression searches (via Henry Spencer's regexp package),
optional case insensitive and multi-file searching,
optional line wrapping and horizontal scroll bar,
split window facility providing 2 views of the same or different files,
shell command escapes, optionally passing on the current file as stdin.


XPICK
xpick displays its arguments (or standard input) in a MultiList widget
(from the Free Widget Foundation widget set), lets you select any of
them with the mouse, then outputs the chosen ones on standard output
when a command button is hit.

an example use is:

rm `xpick *`

or

rm `ls -ld *  | xpick -1 - | awk '{print $8}'`


XZAP
xzap runs "ps" and displays its output in a MultiList widget.  You can
then select  one or more processes  before sending them a KILL signal
by hitting a command button.  xzap makes no assumptions about ps other
than  that it displays process ids in a column headed PID.


Developed on a Sun-4, SunOS 4.1.1 X11R4 & X11R5
these programs have successfully been built & run on

  Sun-3 SunOS 4.1.1  X11R4
  Encore Multimax Umax 4.3 X11R4 & X11R5
  DEC MicroVax Ultrix V2.2 X11R5

This message announces the availability of Scheme release scm4a0.

DELAY, FORCE, TRANSCRIPT-ON and TRANSCRIPT-OFF have been added.  The
read macro syntax #. has been added.  The file functions have been
rewritten in terms of OPEN-FILE and OPEN-PIPE.  FILE-EXISTS?,
STRING-SET-LENGTH!, and STRING-VECTOR-LENGTH! have been added.  ALARM
and support for SIGALRM interrupts have been added.  Process
synchronization primitives have been added.  Machines with 64 bit
words are now supported.  HEDDEN@esdsdf.dnet.ge.com (Jerry D.  Hedden)
has fixed problems with numeric comparisons.

Scm conforms to Revised^4 Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme
and the IEEE P1178 specification.  Scm is written in C and runs under
Amiga, Atari-ST, MacOS, MS-DOS, NOS/VE, VMS, Unix and similar systems.
ASCII and EBCDIC are supported.

Documentation is included explaining the many Scheme Language
extensions in scm, the internal representation and how to extend or
include scm in other programs.

X-Original-Date: 1 Apr 92 21:10:39 GMT

Archive-name: auto/gnu.announce/GNU-file-utilities-3-2-released

A new release of the GNU file management programs is available for
anonymous ftp from prep.ai.mit.edu [18.71.0.38], in the file
pub/gnu/fileutils-3.2.tar.Z.

The programs in the fileutils are:

chgrp chmod chown cp dd df du install ln ls mkdir mkfifo mknod mv rm
rmdir touch

mkfifo is a POSIX.2 invention that is like `mknod file p'.
tac prints files backwards.

Most of these programs have significant advantages over their Unix
counterparts, such as greater speed, additional options, and fewer
arbitrary limits.

Major changes in this release are:

* port df to SVR2, Irix, and Dynix
* fix df blocksize calculation on 4.3BSD
* make df work better with automounters
* speed up dd, at least in some cases
* install -d can install multiple directories at a time
* install -m accepts symbolic modes like chmod
* install doesn't clear set[ug]id bits that you asked for if you're not root
* remove broken and not very useful -L option from chown, chgrp, and chmod
* make chown and chgrp work on symlinks
* ls and du return a nonzero exit status if a nonfatal error occurred
* fix a race condition in rm -f that could cause spurious warning messages
* ls -l is more tolerant of NFS time mismatches for determining the date format
* long options begin with `--', with `+' still supported temporarily
* lots of portability and POSIX.1 tweaks

If you are a veteran user/installer of Khoros, you may be interested in
obtaining and installing some of the user donated toolboxes that are
available for ftp on pprg.  Tom Sauer updated the toolboxes to be compatible
with Patch Level 5 of Khoros 1.0.

On pprg.eece.unm.edu (129.24.24.10) in the directory pu/khoros/toolbox you will
find this README.

============================================================================
These directories contain unsuported, donated toolboxes.  You are welcome to
ftp these directories and use the programs.  The Khoros group will not
provide support for these programs, but you can send questions to the 
Khoros news group or mailing list concerning these toolboxes.

If you have a toolbox that you want to donate, we will be glad to put it on
pprg for ftp.

The WG recommended that this I-D and the User Friendly Naming I-D (no

        A String Representation of Distinguished Names
        S.E. Hardcastle-Kille
        April 1992
        Abstract:
The OSI Directory uses distinguished names as the primary keys to
entries in the directory.  Distinguished Names are encoded in ASN.1.
When a distinguished name is communicated between to users not using a
directory protocol (e.g., in a mail message), there is a need to have
a user-oriented string representation of distinguished name.

[I tried posting this from my news reader, but doesn't seem to have made
it outside of PARC.  My apologies if you see it twice.]

Our Modula-3 implementation of Sun RPC is now available for anonymous
ftp.  It consists of a stub compiler (based on rpcgen) that produces
object-oriented Modula-3 stubs and a runtime that is thread-safe
(although clients have some synchronization responsibilities).  There is
no support for authentication yet.  It has received some testing and use
here, but has not been used extensively.

The code is available on parcftp.xerox.com as "pub/m3/m3rpc.tar.Z".  For
your one-stop shopping convenience, I have also placed in that directory
a copy of the Modula-3 tags package David Goldberg announced recently.

Please send any bugs, comments, etc. to me (nichols@parc.xerox.com).

Also, I have fixed the .95c patches in the patches directory, for

There is also a diffs.Z it you don't want to uudecode them yourself.

I hope that we get a compiled version soon -- I have been unable to,
and will be for another day or more, so if anyone running virgen .95c
would like to upload a copy, I'd be very grateful.  But if you do,
please make sure that it is just .95c (patchlevel fix optional) and
please mail ftp-linux@tsx-11.mit.edu when you do.
