Archive-name: auto/comp.sys.novell/MCMenu-PD-v-1-520-release-note



A new version ,1.520 of MCMenu  will be available via FTP 
at MALA.BC.CA as of September 1 92  

This menu program is Public Domain and includes soruce code.

Advantages over Novell menu program:
     Uses 0K.
     Does not leave menufile open so menufile is not locked.
     Works off a hard drive, no network needed, So hard drive and network
     menus can have the same interface.
     Built in screen blanker while on the menu screen.
     Mouse support.
     Marks submenus for easy identification.
     Allows top and bottom wrap around.
     Can logout from menu.
     Can load TSRs.
     Can use environment variable 'MN' for menu name
       allowing all users to restart menu with 'MCMENU'.
     Can disable escape from menu.  
     Has hooks for remote procedure calls from other stations.
     Improved AlphaKeying  { Can you see the diference }

Differences from Novell menu:   
     No sorting of menu items, they appear in the order in file.
     Ignores Novell colour and location entries
       everything is standard colour and centred.
     Limited to 4000 lines in menu file.
     Limited to 21 items per menu 200 sub menus.



New features in MCMenu V 1.520

   Return to old menu selection option. Allows the menu to 
     re-enter at the old location { like Novells }      

   Application Logging option.  This logs the item and user
     name when programs are launched.

   Menu Reload option.  This allows the last command to be the
     end of the batch file, rather than re-running the menu.
     This improves use of the LOGOUT command and chaining
     to other menus.

A new version of the CD-mudlib is now available from ftp.cd.chalmers.se.
The name of the file is Mudlib-CD.00.25.tar.Z, and it is in /pub/cdlib.
There are no diffs available between 00.24 and 00.25 since we have
rearranged the layout of the mudlib to some extent.

Among the changes in 00.25 are:
  -   Time system from PaderMud.
  -   More parts of the map system.
  -   Messages are printed when players link dies.
  -   Reorganization of the layout to prevent overwriting local
      files when installing patches.
  -   /secure/master can be updated.
  -   Lots of bugs fixed.


For CDlib 00.25 to run you will need a new version of the game driver
that is available from ftp.cd.chalmers.se in /pub/cdlib/Lpmud-CD.01.57.tar.Z.
There is also a set of diffs to upgrade from 01.56 in
Lpmud-CD.01.56-01.57.diff.Z.

Bug reports should, as usual, be sent to mud@cd.chalmers.se.

The latest US callsign database (June 1992) is now available for anonymous FTP
on gatekeeper.dec.com in ~pub/misc/hamradio/92callbook.Z .  If you need the
file in any format other than the compressed text file I've provided, you should
contact Fred Lloyd (AA7BQ, Fred.Lloyd@West.Sun.COM).  Problems/comments about
this particular offering should go to me and not the entire newsgroup.

The file is ~23MB compressed, ~55MB uncompressed.  Think about that before
you transfer it.  There are a variety of online servers that may do what you
need without you having to have your own copy.

Thanks to Fred for his work in getting the tapes distributed and to 
Greg Bassett KJ6EP for making his copy available to me.

Archive-name: auto/comp.sys.apollo/GNU-Emacs-for-18-58-and-SR10-3-4-at-long-last

A new version of my modifications to GNU Emacs for the Apollo is now available.
This version supports GNU Emacs 18.58, Domain/OS SR10.3 and SR10.4, and the
latest release of the Domain C Compiler.

Please note that there have been a number of versions of the file
"unexapollo.c" that purport to solve the unexec problem for SR10.4.  Even if
they appear to work correctly in one instance, and the resulting executable
file runs, they do not actually produce correct Apollo executables, and a
subsequent build may fail to run.  Only the version of "unexapollo.c" provided
in this release is known to work correctly for both SR10.3 and SR10.4.

Special thanks to Brian D. Carlstrom for allowing me access to an SR10.4 system
for testing.

I am distributing this release from labrea.stanford.edu (36.8.0.47).  The
following files are available for anonymous ftp from the "pub/gnu" directory:

    APOLLO.README			    README for Apollo GNU Emacs
    apollo-emacs.tar.Z			    Apollo GNU Emacs modifications
    apollo-emacs-executables-sr10.3.tar.Z   SR10.3 Emacs Executables
    apollo-emacs-executables-sr10.4.tar.Z   SR10.4 Emacs Executables

As always, to install my Apollo GNU Emacs modifications, uncompress and untar
"apollo-emacs.tar.Z" on top of a unmodified GNU Emacs 18.58 distribution tree,
and consult "APOLLO.README" for building instructions.

Summary: I have released a new version of AppBar.
X-Original-Newsgroups: comp.os.ms-windows.announce
X-Original-Date: 3 Sep 92 15:30:05 GMT

Archive-name: auto/comp.os.ms-windows.announce/AppBar-version-3-30

I have released version 3.30 of AppBar to

CICA (ftp.cica.indiana.edu),
ph.tn.tudelft.nl,
and garbo.uwasa.fi.


AppBar is an icon-based program launcher.

In AppBar 3.30 the following things are new,
- ParamsXX= specify a optional parameter (DataFiles or StartUpParameters) 
  given to a launched program. 
- SoundDirectory= specifies the default directory for the sound file browser.
- AppBar supports multiple file Drag&Drop from the FileManager now. (It will 
  launch a new instance of the buttonprogram for each file from the 
  dropped filelist)
- added QuickLoad button to quickly setup AppBar with drag&drop and to copy 
  buttonsettings to other buttons. 
- added Run button, to launch program from a commandline.
- added Maximum Size option (ShowModeXX = 3), to start program as large as 
  possible, with leaving AppBar visible.
- added dialogbox asking to save current position after moving AppBar.
- improved close function, closing program can ask for saving data first 
  before terminating. (Thanks to Erkki Riekkola for providing crucial source).
- added new AppBar utility AppMore, which can launch different programs in 
  different instances.
- added Tip for AppBar, a trashcan utility, written by Bernt Ribbum.
- increased maximum of buttons to 48.
- made AppBar restartable when it is Shell.
- AppBar will execute options given to win.com when it is Shell.
- Added minimize button. When AppBar is minimized just doubleclick on icon 
  to restore AppBar.
- abandoned difficult Buttons/Columns settings. Now blank buttons are added 
  to get enough buttons for the specified number of Columns.

Ware?
This Software is UserWare, no registration, no nothing, just a program to 
increase the joy of using Windows. 


Thanks?
My thanks for testing, debugging, and improving AppBar goes to:
Eric A. Rohy, for testing AppBar 3.14159 and 3.20,
Dirk Schumacher and Jrgen Mennecke,  for testing AppBar 3.20 and  3.30,
Erkki Riekkola, for testing AppBar 3.20 and 3.30,

CYCLO is a quaint program for generating cycloids (rather like the 
spirograph toy does). It uses a nice Graphical User Interface, and 
was written in Turbo Pascal 6.0 by Doug Colman, Computer Science
Department, University of New England, Armidale, Australia. It is not
endorsed by UNE, but is a personal project. Source code includes seven(7)
Turbo Pascal Units (covering a broad spectrum of Graphical User Interface
Functions and Procedures). Complete CYCLO source is included in a 
source offer. Source comprises about 4360 lines of code and is available 
by sending a modest fee to the author.

Source includes full Menu-Window Interface as used by CYCLO, with Mouse
Support, Dialog Boxes, File Choosers, etc. Written for compatibility with
VGA, EGA, SVGA, CGA, MCGA, EGA64 EGAmono IBM8514, Hercules, ATT400, and
PC3270. Compiler Support: Turbo Pascal Versions 4.0 - 6.0. No warranties
or liabilities are applicable.

I just dropped the Official INL server on ftp.cis.ksu.edu.  This is version
2.0.  There was a version 1.1, but 2.0 came so soon after it, it never got
announced. 

There are also diff files, INL.diff.1.0-1.1 and INL.diff.1.1-2.0, so if you
already are running version 1.0, upgrading shouldnot be hard.  I've tested
the patches on both the normal (sun) code, and the mach code.  They both
seem to work 99% correctly.

Here is the .motd, which outlines the various changes that have been made:

-------------------
INL server version 2.0

New features:

o * SPLIT WAIT QUEUES!!! *  Much thanks to ERic Mehlaff for his help!  (He
	basically wrote the whole thing and sent it to me.)
o UNCAPTAIN will unset a CAPTAIN of a team.
o It is impossible to become captain if someone already is for your team.
o Captains no longer can send RESTART during a PAUSE.
o You are forced on a team at the beginning, even though it is not Tmode.
	This is necessary to make the Split Queue work.  If you use HOME or
 	AWAY to change teams, it will automatically switch you to the other
	team.  
o During a pause, all the enemy ships will disappear from the galactic map. 
o Other slight fixes...


Old stuff:

INL 1.1:
o It is now possible to send a message to yourself. (was a bug in INL 1.0) 
o various transparent fixes to help out the StatBoy.  Server gods see the
    INL-README 


INL 1.0:
DD cooling = 7, Det radius = 1800

These messages, when sent to yourself, have the following actions:

        TIME - minutes left in game
        TEAM - which team am I on
        HOME - switch me to home team
        AWAY - switch me to away team
        CAPTAIN - set me to the captain of this team

Captain's can use the following messages:
        FED/ROM/KLI/ORI - choose team for the team
        START - start the 1 minute to Tmode counter
                (works at any point in game)
        RESTART - stop 1 minute counter, allow for reselection of teams
        NEWGALAXY - rebuild galaxy from scratch, allow for reselection 
                    of teams 
        PAUSE - temporarily stop action
        CONTINUE - continue play

Every action for Captains must be taken by both captains to have effect, 
except for team selections.

Problems, Suggestions, Questions, etc. to rjones@dsd.es.com
-------------------

I suggest anyone planning on running an INL server get this and start
running/testing it.  It should be easy to port, and mon most machines go
without many changes.  I have not had an opportunity to test this very
strongly, so I'm not sure it all works.  That's up to you all to tell me.

If you need further help with FTP, ask around at your location.  I will

FTP on the internet, you can't get these files.

jim@brownvm.brown.edu (James Mathiesen)

Please mail me your reviews of SNES games.  I don't play or like enough
games to try them all myself.  I will include any review or collection
of reviews I'm sent (unless it's full of nasty words).  Don't send me
anything unless you are the original author.  You will be attributed.

Submissions such as a comparison of Golf or baseball games are
encouraged.

If you have additions or corrections to SNES.INDEX, please only send me
the changed lines!  (If you send me an entire corrected file; and I've
already made other changes, then I have a very messy job.)

You can get the latest info on a game's release date by calling
Nintendo at 1-800-255-3700

Now get cracking and let's see if this is going to work or not.
I'm willing to put effort into this, and if you send me a review
I should have it on the disk in well under 24 hours.

Send it all to: jim@brownvm.brown.edu

The Federal Reserve Bank of Boston and the University of Maine have 
run a BBS for a couple of years to disseminate all sorts of economic 
data. Now most of the files from this New England Economic Data Center 
are available through anonymous FTP at neeedc.umesbs.maine.edu (note 
the three e's in "neeedc") 
 
They cover everything from unemployment to housing to energy 
statistics going back to 1969, and are updated monthly. As you might 
expect, they tend to focus on the New England states and cities, but 
most of the files also have a column for nationwide numbers.  Almost 
all the files can be imported into a spreadsheet (they provide simple
directions for Lotus and Quattro).
 
The ftp site also has gross state product data from the Bureau of 
Economic Analysis.  Unfortunately, one thing not on the ftp site, at 
least not yet, is the Commerce Department's National Trade Database. 
To see that, you'll have to dial into the original BBS:  (207) 581-
1867.
