Archive-name: auto/comp.os.linux/Inheriting-File-System-IFS-experimental-release

[ I've posted this to the linux-activists mailing list yesterday, but
  because the mailing list seems to out of order at the moment, I'm
  posting it on comp.os.linux now. Please understand that this is not
  an ordinary release but rather something highly experimental that
  may not work as intended and may be changed heavily (or completely
  disappear) in the future. ]

A pre-alpha experimental version of IFS is available for anon. FTP
on rudolf.ethz.ch as /incoming/ifs.0.tar.Z

IFS implements a copy-on-write file system (similar to Sun's TFS)
with the additional capability to mount "packs" of more than two
directories. There's no Plan 9-style per-user FS space, sorry.

IFS is relative to the 0.98pl6 kernel but it should be easy to use
it with 0.98pl5 too. I haven't looked at earlier versions, so they
might or might not work.

This release has some major restrictions. Among them:
  - it has received very little testing yet, so be prepared that it
    might do something nasty to your system if you use it.
  - things like mkdir/rmdir, links, etc. are missing.
  - you can't run executables from it because bmap isn't supported.

In its current state it isn't intended to do something usable for
any real purpose but rather to illustrate the concept and to show
one possible way to implement the "overmounting" mechanism.

More information (and a lot more warnings :-) can be found in the
README.

- Werner

Archive-name: auto/comp.sys.amiga.applications/UChess-lha-avail-via-ftp

I just uploaded a file to amiga.physik.unizh.ch and to hubcap.clemson.edu
called UChess.lha.  It is a powerful Chess program for the Amiga which
requires a 68020 or better microprocessor, 4M or more of FAST RAM,
and KS 2.04 or later.  Its preferred display is a 640x480x256 color
Productivity mode AGA screen, and has VERy nice AGA graphics.  It will
downscale the graphics to 640x400x16 colors on ECS machines, automatically.
The program is available via ftp at those 2 sites,
I put it in the /amiga/new area of physik and in the /pub/amiga/incoming/games
area of hubcap.clemson.edu.

Program requires 2.04 or later KS
requires 4M of FAST RAM (L version requires 10M)
requires 68020 or better microprocessor

Recommended:
KS 3.0 or later
AGA machine
68040 processor

The L version of the pgm plays somewhat stronger, but requires 10M of FAST RAM.

QT-OBJECTS provides a simple CLOS-based interface between MCL 2.0 and
QuickTime.  This new release supports movie controllers,
cut/copy/paste of movie objects, many more functions, and many small
fixes and improvements.  It's also better organized and commented.  

qt-objects.lisp can be obtained via anonymous FTP from
cambridge.apple.com as:

   /pub/MCL2/contrib/qt-objects.lisp.hqx

This new release may not be compatible with earlier versions,
including the one on the MCL 2.0 CD-ROM.  You need to have the
QuickTime extension installed (version 1.5 is recommended), and at
least one movie to play.

QT-OBJECTS is the work of many people at the Media Lab and Institute
for the Learning Sciences:

I am happy to announce the first ftp archive site dedicated to the
muppets on the net.  The site is cathouse.aiss.uiuc.edu.  The directory
is /misc/fun/television/muppets.

The current contents are my muppography, and a link to a collection
of muppet lyrics that already happened to be on cathouse.  The muppet
FAQ will also be here when it is ready.  With the incredible explosion
of articles that alt.tv.muppets has recently seen, I think we could
expect a lot more.

I'm cross posting to dinosaurs because of the Henson & Associates
connection, and hey, I don't begrudge them for leaving alt.tv.muppets.
And besides, alt.tv.dinosaurs needs the traffic.

Archive-name: auto/comp.sys.amiga.misc/Speech-Recogniser-Uploaded-VCLI-v5-1

I have just uploaded the latest version of Richard Horne's voice command
system for the amiga to the following ftp sites:

          wuarchive.wustl.edu : systems/amiga/incoming/audio
and   amiga.physik.unizh.ch : amiga/new (whence it should eventually
move to amiga/util/misc)

The wuarchive directory also contains AniMan, which uses the same
library, but has a less recent version of it than VCLI 5.1 (so use the
VCLI 5.1 version).

A couple of hints:   Make sure that you have set binary mode in ftp when
you get these files (this is 
the most frequent cause of complaints that the .lha archive is corrupt).
Make  sure that you flush libraries (avail flush) after installing the
voice.library, or reboot, before running VCLI 5.1 the first time.

VCLI is a must have piece of software for anyone interested in speech
recognition. It also makes for great demos (you can use it to tell
prodraw to make a blue circle, for example). It's even a quite useful
tool (I use it to page through my mail, by having it send arexx commands
to the VLT terminal program).  Don't get it unless you have an audio
digitiser (but they are cheap, and well worth getting).

Following is the readme file:

Short: Voice Command Recognition V5.1
Type: util/misc

This is version 5.1 of Richard Horne's Voice Recognition 
Software. It allows you to control amiga applications by 
speaking to the machine. It runs in the background and is 
multitasking friendly. Since it works by template matching,
it is not restricted to any particular language.

VCLI51.lha contains VCLI (5.1) and voice.library (6.3)

This is a list of new features which was sent to me by its
author (RHorne@cup.portal.com):

1.  I've added an option to select CIAB Timer A or Timer B.
I've had reports that Timer B conflicts with some other
programs (AirLink in particular).

2.  I've added an option to load altenate command files
by voice command rather that having to return to Information
to make a menu selection.

3.  I've added an option to turn off VCLI's spoken confirmation
of commands.

4.  The command file now stores the entire VCLI configuration
including Sampler, Timer, Confirmation, Output, Resolution, and
Scope Display mode.

5.  I've made a few changes in voice.library to make it
more bullet proof. ...

6.  And finally, I've fixed the font problem. ... I have made
the VCLI display immune to selection of other system fonts.

I recently created a simple database package which I named Easybase that makes
it very simple to maintain lists of references, titles, addresses, etc. Even
though simple it has good selecting, sorting and printing capabilities. The
user interface was designed with the Forms Library and the program should be
extremely easy to use.

It is Public Domain. No warrantee for correctness etc. is given. It comes
with source. Compiling it requires version 2.1 of the Forms Library but a
binary version is included for those that do not have the Forms Library. It
can be found in our archive at ftp.cs.ruu.nl in the directory SGI in the file
easybase.tar.Z.

I hope the package will be useful to some people. (I use it quite a lot
myself.)

Archive-name: auto/comp.graphics.avs/Sonification-modules-available

We have released a beta version of some sonification modules from the Center
for Innovative Computer Applications (CICA) at Indiana University.

These modules facilitate data sonification and sound synthesis by allowing
other modules to send sound synthesis commands to the Sonify module.
Brief descriptions of the modules follow.  Full documentation for each
module is available.  Please note that these modules are in Beta release.
Please report any bugs to the address at the bottom of this file.

Sonify
        The Sonify module will synthesize sounds and can be controlled by
        other modules via command string input.  It is most useful for data
        sonification where a data-producing module will send commands to
        Sonify based on the data represented.

GraphSound
        The GraphSound module generates a graph of the waveform of a sound
        produced by the Sonify module and is useful as a diagnostic tool.

All modules run as-is only under AVS4.  They would require some modification
to run under AVS3 or earlier.  The Sonify module will only run as-is on
Silicon Graphics platforms that support sound.

The modules and documentation are available via anonymous ftp from
ftp.cica.indiana.edu (129.79.20.84) in the directory pub/avs/Sonify.

This software is free but we ask that:

        1) You fill out the registration form included in the

A comment for later versions.  Users (I included) tend to quickly
try out programs without reading the manuals.  Quitting the program
takes some figuring out without doing that.  Maybe you might
consider making it more intuitive.
