Archive-name: auto/comp.lang.prolog/Public-domain-s-w-now-on-FTP

My library of public-domain software is at last FTP-able, from the
Imperial College archive at
    src.doc.ic.ac.uk

The equivalent numerical address is
    146.169.2.1

The entries live in the directory
        computing/programming/languages/prolog/pd-software
with a short-cut entry of:
        packages/prolog-pd-software
I.e., to access it, 'cd' to either of the above.

All entries are stored as <entry>.tar.Z. They are in compressed TAR
format, so once you have fetched them, uncompress, and then de-tar the
result. Users of Unix systems should have no problem with this, since
tar and uncompress are standard utilities. Those using other systems may
not be so lucky, though the utilities are now available for VMS, at
least. Remember to switch into binary mode before fetching these files.

The file README gives a brief summary of the contents of the directory,
and CATALOGUE gives a (long!) description of each entry. Entries
include the Logic Programming Tutor from my book, the DEC-10
public-domain library, the Linger natural-language corrector, a simple
object-oriented add-on for Prolog, graph utilities, and a number of
other things.


Additions are very welcome - I want to keep accumulating useful software.
There are lots of utilities which must have been written but haven't been
donated - B-tree predicates, planners, hypertext engines, constraint
algebra systems, sorting predicates, to mention but a few. Give others
the benefit of your software!


[ Temporary warning. The latest README, CATALOGUE, and three of the
entries are currently sitting in the archive's /tmp directory, waiting
to be copied. They will probably be in their final resting place by
Tuesday. ]

I have just uploaded some astrological fonts for ftping on the file server
hilbert.maths.utas.edu.au (131.217.60.1) in the directory pub/astrology/fonts.

Login as 'anonymous' and give your email address as password.

6ttfont.zip contains six TrueType fonts for MS Windows, one of which,
    Astro-SemiBold, has symbols for all of the planets, signs, aspects, etc.
    The remaining five fonts aren't astrological but are quite nice.
    Download as binary and use unzip to access. (These fonts are available
    at other sites too).

Astro-SemiBold.hqx has the above font which I've converted into a Macintosh
    TrueType font. Download as ascii text and use BinHex to access.

astrofonts.tar.Z contains several Metafont files for use with TeX, LaTeX,
    etc., sent to me by Lars Alexandersson <larsa@math.chalmers.se>.
    A little TeX and Metafont experience is needed to use these but they
    are very nice. Download as binary, 'uncompress', and use tar to get
    the files.

Happy fonting,

Michael.

The following is now available for ftp:

TITLE
	OmniPlay - A multi-format sound player for AmigaDOS

VERSION
	0.98, 3-Sept-92

DESCRIPTION
	OmniPlay plays samples sounds from a variety of sound file
	formats, including IFF (8svx and aiff), WAV, VOC, .au, .snd,
	and 8-bit raw (signed, unsigned, u-law).  In addition,
	PowerPacked sounds can be played if you have v34+ of
	powerpacker.library installed.

	OmniPlay determines the type of sound it's dealing with
	automagically,  so the minimum command is "oplay somesound".
	This works on *any* file, although raw files might sound
	better if you specify a rate.

	Options control rate, volume, output audio channel, wait-time
	between sounds, process priority, printing of sound properties
	(such as IFF NAME, AUTH, etc.), and more.  Options are
	sequenced, not pre-scanned, so two files can have different
	option sets.

REQUIREMENTS
	A sampled sound file.  If you wish to PowerPack sounds, you
	should have powerpacker.library (not included) in your libs:
	directory.

AUTHOR
	David Champion, dgc3@midway.uchicago.edu

             GNET: an Archive and Electronic Journal

                  Toward a Truly Global Network

Computer-mediated communication networks are growing rapidly, yet
they are not truly global -- they are concentrated in affluent
parts of North America, Western Europe, and parts of Asia.

GNET is an archive/journal for documents pertaining to the effort
to bring the net to lesser-developed nations and the poorer parts
of developed nations.  (Net access is better in many "third
world" schools than in South-Central Los Angeles).  GNET consists
of two parts, an archive directory and a moderated discussion.

Archived documents are available by anonymous ftp from the
directory global_net at dhvx20.csudh.edu (155.135.1.1).  To
conserve bandwidth, the archive contains an abstract of each
document, as well as the full document.  (Those without ftp
access can contact me for instructions on mail-based retrieval).

In addition to the archive, there is a moderated GNET discussion
list.  The list is limited to discussion of the documents in the
archive.  It is hoped that document authors will follow this
discussion, and update their documents accordingly.  If this
happens, the archive will become a dynamic journal.  Monthly
mailings will list new papers added to the archive.

We wish broad participation, with papers from nuts-and-bolts to
visionary.  Suitable topics include, but are not restricted to:

   descriptions of networks and projects
   host and user hardware and software
   connection options and protocols
   current and proposed applications
   education using the global net
   user and system administrator training
   social, political or spriritual impact
   economic and environmental impact
   politics and funding
   free speech, security and privacy
   directories of people and resources

To submit a document to the archive or subscribe to the moderated
discussion list, use the address gnet_request@dhvx20.csudh.edu.

WinBiff 1.1, a Windows 3.x mail notification utility, is
now available.  It also will run under OS/2 as a seamless
Windows application.  With WinBiff, you can set a polling
interval and allow multiple instances to monitor multiple 
mailboxes.  WinBiff can be displayed as a bitmap in a window,
or as an icon (kind of like Windows CLOCK).

I use WinBiff with UUPC/extended and OS/2 Elm.  From what
I've read, it should work with Waffle if you're running
Waffle as a DOS app under Windows or OS/2.

If you'd like a copy, reply via e-mail, and I'll send
you a uuencoded .ZIP file.  Or download it from ftp.cica.indiana.edu
(make sure you get wnbiff11.zip, the latest version).

Below is the `news list' from the announcement of 1.34.


The following is a list of changes from GNU Finger 1.0b to 1.34.

  o  Lots of bugs have been fixed -- far too many to mention here.

  o  Changes to messages and output formatting.

  o  Mugshot support has been dropped. These parts will be redone in a
     future release. The code is included, but currently unsupported.

  o  Port to PC/RT.

  o  Port to SVR4.

  o  Special target ``.help'' to list special targets supported
     by the finger server. A target is something you can finger,
     such as a user name or mailing list.

  o  Special target ``.site'' to describe a site - the organization
     it belongs to, geographic location, who manages it, and other
     relevant information.

  o  Configuration greatly simplified - uses GNU Autoconf 1.1.

  o  Code made more robust.

  o  Option syntax changed to adhere to current GNU standards. Long
     option ``--port'' added to explicitly specify a port or service
     to use.

  o  Prints message if .plan file exists but is inaccessible.

  o  Added support for .project file, similar to .plan.

  o  If the user fingered has a .fingerrc script, then it will be
     executed and the normal finger output piped through it. The
     output of the script becomes the output of finger.

  o  Documentation has been improved.

  o  Support for site-defined special targets. These are scripts
     that are run when the corresponding target is fingered. The
     two targets ``.site'' and ``.help'' are such scripts.

  o  User mail forwarding is reported.

  o  Accepts finger requests for mailing lists.

The FTP admins in Berlin have come up with a standardized tool to generate
/INDEX, /ls-lR, /INDEX-diffs/* etc. files, based on a format that's easier
to grep and to dump into archie than the ls-lR format.  It lists only
readable files and avoids the slight nagging differences between ls
programs.

See
	ftp.cs.tu-berlin.de:/projects/genindex/*
for details.  The code is based on GNU find, and comes with filters so
that archie admins can load these index files directly.  Installation
involves running a configure script, compiling the code, and throwing in a
crontab entry.

The original announcement in the original German is included below in case
I've botched it.  Berlin to Michigan is currently showing something
horrible like 10-15 second ping times; I'd like to mirror this on 
	ftp.msen.com:/pub/packages/genindex/*
so if someone can help haul this across the atlantic that would be nice.

Karl,

I believe that FTPMAIL produced by decwrl.dec.com is available
from them.  You might try there first.  It might be somewhere in
