DESCRIPTION
 
  XPK is an interfacing standard between application programs and packer 
  libraries. Every XPK application program can pack data with any XPK
  packer.
  There are already some applications in this archive: A (de)compressing 
  filesystem, a packing app-icon, command line packers, a LoadSeg() patch, 
  an adapted image displayer, a movie player, plus many more. All these
  can thus handle compressed data.
  Four packers are included in this package, plus two very safe encryptor
  and various demo or special purpose XPK libraries.
 
  
FILE NAMES
 
  xpk24usr.lha    -  User's package, contents see above
  xpk24dev.lha    -  Developer's package, for writing apps and libs
 
 
HOST NAME / DIRECTORY
 
  XPK can be found on the three currently working AmiNet sites 
  (the others are restructuring). It's in the util/pack/
  subdirectory. The sites are:
 
  Switzerland   amiga.physik.unizh.ch       pub/aminet/
  Scandinavia   ftp.luth.se                 pub/OS/amiga/
  USA           merlin.etsu.edu             pub/aminet/
 
 
DISTRIBUTABILITY
 
  XPK is copyrighted, but freely distributable. Some parts of XPK have
  a different legal status, mostly PD or GPL.

It is now possible to receive comp.sys.amiga.announce through
electronic mail!  Carlos Amezaga (overlord@megalith.miami.fl.us) was
good enough to set up a news-->mail gateway on his machine.

However, we are both new at this, and would like to test it out with a
limited audience (thus, this post is limited to the "Bay Area").  

If you would like to sign up for the list, or would be kind enough to
help us test it out, please send a message to
announce-request@cs.ucdavis.edu, and ask to subscribe.  Thanks!

If you have any comments about the mailing list, please send them to
Carlos.  I'm curious, so cc: a copy to me, as well.

TITLE
	login (a.k.a. OmniLock)

VERSION
	1.00

DESCRIPTION
	Yeah, another Amiga login-screen toy security setup to wow
	your friends.  Features include:

	- custom variant of NDS-DES crypt() password encryption (like
	in Unix) for greater security
	- "nu" for adding new users
	- "passwd" for changing password
	- "chfn" for changing user name
	- "chsh" for changing shell & home directory
	- "finger" for fetching user info, allows .plan and .project
	files
	- "last" for listing logins (all logins or by user-id)
	- GadTools (2.0+ only) login screen
	- login screen dims after user-definable time delay
	- can be run as a console lock after startup
	- modifies environment so you can control scripting
	- customizable for your Amiga's very own name

	Comes equipped with a functional root user, ability to add new
	users, change root, etc. immediately, with no shareware
	registration prerequisite.  Instructions on secure
	installation included.

REQUIREMENTS
	Release 2.0 or greater of the Amiga OS, and an Amiga to run it
	on.

CHANGES
	(from v0.80)
	- commands "last" and "finger" are new
	- now logs all valid logins and incorrect password attempts
	from any member program
	- now dims screen after a period of unuse.  Does not conflict
	with other screensavers.
	- now secures system after startup if Workbench can be closed.
	- a little nicer to look at while running

AVAILABILITY
	anonymous ftp from:

	SITES
	wuarchive.wustl.edu:/systems/amiga/incoming/utils/
	wuarchive.wustl.edu:/systems/amiga/???/
	merlin.etsu.edu:/aminet/new/
	merlin.etsu.edu:/aminet/util/misc/

	FILES
	login100.lha
	
DISTRIBUTABILITY
	freely distributable; DES encryption governed by U.S. export
	law (I think), meaning that it's illegal to export these
	programs by non-automatic means.

The last set of administrative postings (introduction, how to post,
etc.) are about to expire here.  That means that I am supposed to put
up the next set.

However, some exciting changes are in the works for .announce.  We
will be going to mailing list form (in addition to Usenet), so you can
get comp.sys.amiga.announce through electronic mail.  In addition, the
contents will be archived on an ftp site, so that you can look up old
messages.

None of this is set up quite yet.  Do not ask me any questions about
it yet.  Do not attempt to sign up for the mailing list.
When it is set up, I will put up appropriate announcements.
It should happen some time this week.

All this, however, means that I need to modify the administrative
postings.  Since I don't know all of what is going on, I can't put up
the postings until everything is finalized.

Therefore, if you are new to this group and you would like to put up
an announcement, just wait a little while.  You need to read the
administrative posts before you can put a message here.  Posts that do
not comply with the guidelines get rejected, so you would just be
wasting your time.

Now, I need to figure out how to squeeze even _more_ stuff into a
three-line signature....

Why shouldn't it work ? I run TNT all the time with my debugger...
If the Debugger only patches the TC_TRAPCODE entry of the Task it
has catched.......though if a low-level debugger patches the
exception pointers directly it's true but why do you need that
for a Source-Level Debugger ?

If you have to much menus on screen, its tiem to rethink your
user interface. Its not a good practce to have too much menus,
as its confusing to the user and takes to mucht time to build for every
invocation.

I do the following: (This is not the real code, but you get the idea)

...
switch (menu_code)
case my_first_menu_entry:
   {
      if qualifier==shifted  /* this can also apply for alt,ctrl */
         Shifted_function();
      else
         Unshifted_function();

case my_second_menu_entry:

      function_for_both();
      break;
   }

Egads, you aren't thinking of calculating in DECIMAL are you?
Instead, store the number as a string of digits in base 65536.  Or,
if you want to require an '020 or higher, use base 4294967296.  Use
the same algorithms you use for doing decimal arithmetic on paper,
but on "digits" that the CPU handles efficiently.

Yes, it does.  The TNT doc explicitly states that TNT will not work
with source-level debuggers.  TNT is inherently incompatible with
source-level debuggers.

Is there an option to cache the headers instead of storing them, or
does it have to keep them all in a hash table or something?

Hi folks.

Ok, so now I and my brother have done this neat software of ours (a text
editor) and we'd like to add some AREXX support to it.

                   How is this done?

We've already got a pretty powerful script language developed for it, so
we have all the necessary functions etc. What we need is some good references
and examples of exactly what steps are needed to tie our script commands to
their respective AREXX commands.

Any pointers, hints, tips and examples are welcome.

I agree, it seems unfair that The competition is for only
US and Canadian People. Surley Commodore USA can tie in with the other
Commodore companys around the world, or in the major countries.
I have had trouble with getting anything out of Commodore here in New
Zealand as well...  It seems a pretty worldwide thing....
