CAMPAIGN '92 CANDIDATE INFORMATION NOW AVAILABLE

   Complete sets of position papers, speeches, official state-
ments, fact sheets, etc. for both President Bush and Governor 
Clinton are now available for ftp.

   To access, simply do an anonymous ftp to: nptn.org 
(192.55.234.52).  (Type: ftp nptn.org, login as: anonymous, give 
your e.mail address as your password and you are into the site.) 

   Once you are in, go into the /pub/campaign.92 subdirectory 
(type: cd /pub/campaign.92), type: ls to list the files, and 
download away (type: ascii, then type: get <name of file>).  We 
strongly suggest the first file(s) you download are INDEX.BUSH 
and/or INDEX.CLINTON.  It's about the only way of knowing what's 
where.  When you are finished, type: bye to logoff.

   All files are official campaign documents, provided by the 
National Public Telecomputing Network (NPTN) in cooperation with 
the Bush/Quayle and Clinton/Gore campaign committees.  At the 
moment we are only able to provide Republican and Democratic 
information.  (We are still waiting for a reply from the 
Libertarians.  tap... tap... tap...)

   Over the coming weeks we will begin the process of uploading 
full-text of the appropriate documents to this newsgroup for those 
who do not have ftp capability.  Both the ftp site and the 
newsgroup files will be updated each day as new material comes in.


   AND NOW A WORD FROM OUR SPONSOR:  This ftp site is brought to 
you by the National Public Telecomputing Network (NPTN) as part of 
its "Campaign '92" program.

   NPTN is a nonprofit organization dedicated to developing free, 
public access, computerized communications and information systems 
in cities throughout the U.S. and abroad.  (Think of something 
like National Public Radio or PBS on television, then substitute 
community computers for radio and T.V. stations, and you have the 
gist of what we're trying to do.  To see one of our community 
computers in action, you might want to try, for example, the 
Cleveland Free-Net (telnet: freenet-in-a.cwru.edu, freenet-in-b.cwru.edu,
freenet-in-c.cwru.edu--then ask yourself why there isn't something 
like this at YOUR location.)

I have created a set of Latex programs, collectively called geom,
that work with Lamport's book and article styles and provide
a number of additional features:

- Inclusion of PostScript figures in the document,
  and of TeX text within figures.
- Automatic creation of index entries and cross-reference labels.
- No restriction on the use of macros and special characters in
  titles, cross-references, captions, etc. (i.e. no need to worry
  about fragile commands in almost all situations).
- Greater versatility in defining theorem-like environments.
- Proofing aids such as version numbers and a running index.
- TeX labels in Mathematica figures.

There are also purely esthetic differences,
many of which can be controlled by the user.

You can get the package by anonymous ftp from geom.umn.edu,
in directory pub/geomsty.tar.Z.

For more information, send e-mail to levy@geom.umn.edu.  Comments and
bug reports are welcome.

FYI, I completed my dissertation on the hypertext topic in December, 
1991.  It was from the library science view, involving the design of 
access to information within a hypertext system.

In response to several requests from people asking if it was available in 
ASCII or other electronic format, I finally got around to transporting 
it to an MS-DOS HyPlus (MaxThink) version back about March or so.  It was 
case study methodology, a study of the huge MaxThink CD-ROM hypertext on the 
accounting/auditing subject, done under contract for Deloitte & Touche.  
Since it was ABOUT MaxThink, my choice of hyperformat was an obvious one.

I've uploaded it to several FTP sites.  For those who may be interested, 
I've appended availability information.

Cheers,
ernest

Archive-name: auto/comp.os.linux/Patch-6-to-Mtools-v2-0


This is to annouce the posting of patch #6 to the Mtools v2.0
distribution package to comp.sources.bugs.  I understand that the
version of Mtools that most (all?) Linux users have is a "splinter"
version.  So, you might have to struggle with the patch file to 
make it work.

This patch will add the following features:

	1) Mtools commands now use advisory locks to preclude two
	processes from writing to the same DOS filesystem.  You must
	edit the Makefile to choose one of the 3 lock methods:
		-DLOCKF, -DFLOCK, or -DFCNTL.
	See the Configure file for more details.

	2) An error detection routine has been added to determine if the
	FAT encoding scheme in the devices.c file is correct.

	3) Mtools commands now return exit codes with the following
	meaning:
		0 = success
		1 = utter failure
		2 = partial sucess/failure.  (at least one successful
		    operation, but at least one failure)

It also corrects a bug when Mtools is used on machines that have 16 bit
integers.  However, machines with 16 bit integers are limited to FAT
tables that are less than 64k in length.

Mtools v2.0.5 was posted to the comp.sources.unix news group the 2nd week
of January 92 as v25i097 thru v25i099.

The "always current" version of Mtools and all the patches are available
via anonymous ftp from cerl.cecer.army.mil (129.229.1.101).  I've also
placed the code in the /tmp/mtools directory on ftp.uu.net, but I can't
say how long it will stay there.

	Emulation of DECPrint PRINT/PARAMETER= commands.  
	Can specify start and end pages.

Well, I decided that having the Aviation gopher as part of our
department's gopher was a little too confusing.  So I just moved
it over to my workstation and added an "alias" to our name space
to separate the name from the machine.

The new and improved rec.aviation gopher server is now available
on "av.eecs.nwu.edu" (whose Internet address is currently 129.105.5.6,
but is subject to change without notice).  It will archive the following:

	There I Was stories
	the fuel prices summary
	the FAQ
	a listing of aviation-related FTP sites
	flight planning sheets (postscript and otherwise)
	rec.aviation reorg information (for as long as it is pertinent)
	anything else I find interesting

It also contains a link to the "Current Weather" portion of our
department's gopher server.  This section contains GIF files of
the most recent (well, 2 to 3 hours old) satellite picture and
weather map from UIUC.  You will need a gopher client that understands
the non-standard GIF type ("g") to retrieve these files.  Currently
the only one I know of is a modified "xgopher" version 1.1.

For those who don't know:  gopher is a new way of perusing information
on the Internet.  To access information provided by gopher servers, you
need to have Internet access and you need a gopher client.  All the
current sources for gopher clients and servers are available via
anonymous FTP from boombox.micro.umn.edu in "/pub/gopher".  The
GIF-capable xgopher is in "/pub/gopher/incoming/xgopher.1.1.GIF.tar.Z"
