Serious developers and implementers of compilers for numeric software
should take a look at the draft international Language Independent
Arithmetic standard, which is currently undergoing public review.  You can
FTP a copy from crl.dec.com in the file pub/misc/lia-1-v40-cb.ps.Z.  The
following announcement from ANSI, scheduled for publication in the 12
November issue of ANSI Action, tells you how to make official comments
about the draft standard in the US.
		_____

	ANSI public review period for
	Language Independent Arithmetic, Part 1 (LIA-1)
	November 13, 1992 - January 12, 1993
	(comments by January 5, 1993 please)

Those who wish to comment on the draft standard and wish a response need
to send hardcopy to:

	X3 Secretariat
	Attn: Monica Vago
	Suite 200 - 1250 Eye Street, NW
	Washington, DC  20005

with an additional copy to:

	ANSI
	Attn: BSR
	11 West 42nd Street, 13th Floor
	New York, NY  10036

ANSI committee X3T2 has the responsibility of formulating the US position
on LIA-1 as an international standard.  In order to be of use in
formulating that position, comments must be received before the next X3T2
meeting on January 5.  Although electronic submissions have no official
standing with ANSI, it would greatly help the work of X3T2 to have
electronic copy as well.  Send them to the X3T2 committee chairman, Mark
Hamilton (mah@netwise.com).

X3T2 is a technical committee.  Comments should be technical in nature and
recommend specific changes to the draft that would meet objections raised.
Personal attacks and insults, aside from being ill-mannered and
unprofessional, tend to debase any technical merit the comment might
otherwise have.
[If you have any interest in floating point at all, take a look at this
document.  Many (including me) believe that it is a major attempt to solve
the wrong problem and in its current form is probably worse than no standard
at all. -John]

I have uploaded a new version of bagpipe.tex (1.21) to ftp.stolaf.edu
/pub/mutex/contrib. This release fixes some minor bugs with little used grace
note macros and adds a few new grace note macros.

Bagpipe.tex is a macro-package for type setting Scottish Highland Bagpipe
music. It requires Daniel Taupin's MusicTeX macro-package and the TeX
technical type-setting program. The music is entered by typing the
macro commands into an ascii file. The output produced by processing
this file through the TeX program is of professional quality. 

I have just finished publishing a collection of 90 tunes plus several
pages of exercises for my pipe band. With practise a complex four-part
6/8 march can be set, corrected, and adjusted in an hour. A simple
two-part 3/4 retreat can be done ten minutes.

If you use this package, please send me a brief e-mail notification (if you
have not already done so). Thanks.

Hi,

I just compiled epoch-4.2 over at ref and ftp the binary to 
sunvis.rtpnc.epa.gov:/pub/386bsd/incoming/epoch.Z

When I get a change I will compile epoch with optimization.

epoch is the emacs version for X-windows.

Please note that epoch only works under X-windows.

Credit:

cflatter@nrao.edu (Chris Flatters) provided the configuration files for
epoch.

Enjoy,
Amancio

Archive-name: auto/comp.theory/LOOPN-Language-for-Object-Oriented-Petri-Nets


I wish to announce the availability of a compiler, simulator and associated
source control for an object-oriented petri net language called LOOPN.

In LOOPN, a petri net is an extension of coloured timed petri nets.  The 
extension means firstly that token types are classes.  In other words, they 
consist of both data fields and functions, they can be declared by 
inheriting from other token types, and they can be used polymorphically.  
The object-oriented extensions also mean that module or subnet types are 
classes.  In other words, the declaration of a subnet encapsulates 
constants, types, places, transitions, access functions and parameters.  
These module types may be declared by inheriting from other modules and can 
be used polymorphically.

LOOPN has been developed over a period of about 5 years at the University of
Tasmania, where it has been used in teaching computer simulation and the
modelling of network protocols.

Further details on the syntax of LOOPN, its application and the conditions
under which it is distributed are available in the distribution.

The LOOPN compiler, simulator and associated documentation is available by
anonymous ftp from 
        ftp.utas.edu.au         (131.217.10.1)
as 
        departments/computer_science/loopn.tar.Z

Okay, I've finally got my ass into gear and packaged my XConquer binaries 
and put them up at sunsite (tsx-11 after i post this)

You need the latest XFree dist. (ie. libX11.so.2.1)
and jumptables 4.1, so get ftp'ing if you haven't...

There is a problem with cconq (terminal / curses based version) in that is 
stuffs up the terminal settings when you exit, but an stty sane fixes it for 
now...(I'll look at it Real Soon Now, unless someone else sorts it out...)

Source is at export.lcs.mit.edu
called xconq5.5.tar.Z

Almost compiles cleanly, jsut a few fixes in the Imakefile and its resultant 
Makefile (to do with your curses libraries, as well as font dependencies)


Enjoy really groovily !

I know it's sort of silly to keep hacking programs for Apollo's, but since
it is the only platform that we/I really use.
(We have one Sun 3/110 and one SGI whatever mips box)

So what else can I do :-)

Being not very please with the getty version shipped with the box, I ported
a program from one of the local gurus to be used under the BSD env.
The original is for execution on SysV platforms.

This program can be used a replacement for the standard /etc/getty and
then you should be able to use your Hayes modem a little better.
Try:
	ftp.eb.ele.tue.nl:/pub/apollo/pd-progs/agetty.shar
                                                
For remarks on the SysV version, please contact the original author.
	(The most recent SysV versions can be fetched at:
		ftp.win.tue.nl:/pub/unix/agetty.shar
	)

The BSD remarks can be dropped in my mail.

	Ciao, and enjoy

This package provides a pre-processor to transliterate english text
into indian language scripts: currently devanagari, tamil, telugu, and
bengali are supported. It works with TeX (does not work with any WYSIWYG
package --- MS-Windows or Macintosh).

If anyone from the following sites is listening, please let me know
if you can store the latest version at your site (ftp.uu.net is a
temporary site, files are deleted in four days):
	cs.duke.edu
	ftp.stolaf.edu
(These two sites are the primary sites storing the previous ITRANS
version.)

After two weeks, will upload the IBM-PC version (ZIP package) to SIMTEL20.

Archive-name: auto/comp.compression/Version-4-of-free-JPEG-software-released

The Independent JPEG Group is proud to announce the fourth public release
of our free JPEG image compression software.

The C source code, documentation, and test files are available for anonymous
FTP from FTP.UU.NET (137.39.1.9), file graphics/jpeg/jpegsrc.v4.tar.Z.
The package will shortly be available on CompuServe, in the GRAPHSUPPORT
forum (GO PICS), library 15, as jpsrc4.zip.  We intend to post the source
code in comp.sources.misc and executables in appropriate binaries groups.


The distributed code provides conversion between JPEG "JFIF" format and
image files in PBMPLUS PPM/PGM, Utah RLE, Truevision Targa, and GIF file
formats.  The core compression and decompression modules can easily be
reused in other programs, such as image viewers.  The package is highly
portable C code; we have tested it on many machines ranging from PCs to
Crays.

Important improvements over version 3 include:

* Significant speedups.  The basic JPEG compression and decompression
  operations are typically about a factor of 2 faster than v3.  (Your
  mileage will vary depending on CPU type and C compiler.)

* Improved image quality, due to more accurate DCT and resampling
  algorithms.

* Error recovery capability has been added to the decompressor, so that
  it can cope with damaged JPEG files.  While damage to the compressed
  data will scramble the output image, the effects of damage can be
  confined to small areas of the image if the file was originally created
  with "restart" markers.  Even severe damage will only result in loss of
  the damaged restart segments; the rest of the image can still be recovered.

* Redesigned command line switches provide access to more JPEG parameter
  settings, including restart marker generation in the compressor.

* There is an option for smoothing the input image before JPEG compression.
  This helps a lot when converting dithered GIFs to JPEG.

* Portability is even better than v3.


We are releasing this software for both noncommercial and commercial use.
Companies are welcome to use it as the basis for JPEG-related products.
We do not ask a royalty, although we do ask for an acknowledgement in
product literature (see the README file in the distribution for details).
We hope to make this software industrial-quality --- although, as with
anything that's free, we offer no warranty and accept no liability.

Please direct any questions about this software to jpeg-info@uunet.uu.net.

Patches for a variety of problems in R5 are available via anonymous
ftp on export.lcs.mit.edu and via the xstuff mail archive server on
expo.lcs.mit.edu.

Fixes are available via anonymous ftp to export.lcs.mit.edu (18.24.0.12),
in the directory /pub/R5/fixes/.  The file for this fix is "fix-21".
Instructions for applying the fix are included in the file.  Fixes usually
propagate to other distribution sites as well, so it may pay to check at a
nearer site first.

For those without ftp access, individual fixes can be obtained by mail by
sending a message to xstuff@expo.lcs.mit.edu (18.24.0.11).  In the usual
case, the message should have a subject line and no body, or a single-line
body and no subject.  For example, make the line:
	send fixes 21
to get this fix.  To get a summary of fixes, make the line:
	index fixes
If you need help, make the line:
	help
Some mailers produce mail headers that are unusable for extracting return
addresses.  If you use such a mailer, you won't get any response.  If you
happen to know an explicit path, you can include a line like
	path foo%bar.bitnet@mitvma.mit.edu
or
	path zot!gzork!me@uunet.uu.net
in the body of your message, and the daemon will use it.

Fix 21 corrects the following problems:

xdm: patch 20 introduced a build problem on AIX 3
Xlib: (Xsi) XCreateFontSet calls free() with NULL
Xlib: (Xsi) wcharint.h should not check the typedef of wchar with WNULL

You can get it in comp.sources.bugs (8 articles) or a single patch
via ftp from export.lcs.mit.edu in contrib/olvwm3.Patch03.Z .

When applying the patch, be careful that the patches to
Imakefile/Makefile.sunpro are correct (they won't if you've modified
your makefile at all), and check those files for new compilation options
(including Solaris 2.0 support and XPM support).

This patch includes the AIX/RS6000 patch previously released by
Tom McConnell; however, if you have that patch, you need to go
back to a clean 3.2 version of olvwm to apply the new patch as the
two patches are in conflict.

As always, send me any complaints, problems, or suggestions.

[For those who don't know, olvwm is the OPEN LOOK virtual window manager;
it decorates windows following the OPEN LOOK model and manages a
single virtual desktop which is optionally (and by default) managed
as a grid of logical screens.]

TITLE:        SKsh
VERSION:      2.1
AUTHOR:       Steve Koren
 
DESCRIPTION:  (SKsh is a Unix ksh-like shell which runs under AmigaDos.
              it provides a Unix like environment but supports many
              AmigaDos features such as resident commands, ARexx, etc.
              Scripts can be written to run under either ksh or SKsh,
              and many of the useful Unix commands such as xargs, grep,
              find, etc. are provided.  For quite a while it was the
              only AmigaDos shell which provided an environment similar
              to Unix, but now there are two other unrelated projects to
              port the actual Unix ksh to AmigaDos).
 
              Version 2.1 supports the following new features:
 
                * True pipes between internal and external commands, and
                  even shell functions or aliases.
                * Background shell control structures without needing to
                  invoke another SKsh.
                * Several new commands and utilities.
                * Cross filesystem moves of files and directories.
                * Enforcer cleanliness.
                * AmigaDos 3.0 compatibility.
                * Bug fixes.
                * More...
 
REQUIREMENTS: Version 2.1 of SKsh requires AmigaDos 2.04 or later and a
              hard disk.  There is about 1.2 Mb of stuff to install, much
              of which is optional.

PRICE:        US$0.00

DISTRIBUTION: Copyrighted freeware.  I won't email it, so don't ask.
              It will be available from Fish disks or the FTP sites below.
