This is a new service that should help to relieve the
resource-discovery bottleneck in the rapidly-expanding gopher web.  It
adds global indexing (by title keywords) to gopher's distributed
information model.

Introductory announcement follows:

			About the Veronica service


VERONICA: Very Easy Rodent-Oriented Net-wide Index to Computerized
Archives.

Veronica offers a keyword search of most gopher-server menus in the
entire gopher web.  As Archie is to ftp archives, Veronica is to
gopherspace.  Unlike Archie, the search results can connect you
directly to the data source.  Imagine an Archie search that lets you
select the data, not just the host sites, directly from a menu.
Because Veronica is accessed through a gopher client, it is easy to
use, and gives access to all types of data supported by the gopher
protocol.

Veronica was designed as a response to the problem of resource
discovery in the rapidly-expanding gopher web.  Frustrated comments in
the net news-groups have recently reflected the need for such a
service.  Additional motivation came from the comments of naive gopher
users, several of whom assumed that a simple-to-use service would
provide a means to find resources "without having to know where they
are."

The result of a Veronica search is an automatically-generated gopher
menu, customized according to the user's keyword specification.  Items
on this menu may be drawn from many gopher servers.  These are
functional gopher items, immediately accessible via the gopher client
... just double-click to open directories, read files, or perform
other searches -- across hundreds of gopher servers.  You need never
know which server is actually involved in filling your request for
information.  Items that are appear particularly interesting can be
saved in the user's bookmark list.

Notice that these are NOT full-text searches of data at gopher-server
sites, just as Archie does not index the contents of ftp sites, but
only the names of files at those sites.  Veronica indexes the TITLES
on all levels of the menus, for most gopher sites in the Internet.
258 gophers are indexed by Veronica on Nov. 17, 1992; we have
discovered over 500 servers and will index the full set in the near
future.  We hope that Veronica will encourage gopher administrators to
use very descriptive titles on their menus.

To try Veronica, select it from the "Other Gophers" menu on
Minnesota's gopher server, or point your gopher at:

Name=Veronica (search menu items in most of GopherSpace)
Type=1
Port=70
Path=1/Veronica
Host=futique.scs.unr.edu

Veronica is an experimental service, developed by Steve Foster and
Fred Barrie at University of Nevada.  As we expect that the load will
soon outgrow our hardware, we will distribute the Veronica service
across other sites in the near future.

			High Availability for Sun
			From Fusion Systems Group Inc.

Fusion Systems Group Inc. New York, has introduced a high availability
solution for Sun Microsystems called High Availability for Sun.  High
Availability is designed to address a system or application failure by
managing a failover from a primary Sun server to an alternate machine.
Developed for real-time transaction processing and other environments
requiring a high degree of reliability, High Availability uses
off-the-shelf dual-ported or dual-hosted mirrored-disk technology,
including SCSI, IPI and RAID as the hardware basis for its
high-availability solution. High Availability provides the software
framework for immediate failover that eliminates all data loss and
service interruption for NFS, NIS, Sybase, Oracle, Informix, and
additional user-defined application services. The product includes
such features as automated takeover of the dual ported or dual-hosted
disks by the alternate machine with provisions for bringing the
original server back on-line automatically. High Availability also
provides a periodic 'heartbeat' protocol between servers to ensure
that each service and machine on the network is operating normally. It
supports existing SCSI, IPI and RAID based configurations, and an
agent toolkit is provided to allow users to add additional services to
be supported by High Availability.  For more information call
(212)-285-8001.

Subject: New PC RARP server for TCP/IP Networks
Followup-To: poster
Keywords: TCP/IP RARP SERVER
Organization: TurboSoft Pty Ltd, Sydney, Australia
Date: Thu, 17 Dec 1992 01:55:18 GMT

             NEW  RARP   SERVER   AVAILABLE
	     ==============================

	Turbosoft Pty Ltd today announces the release of new server
software for the Internet standard RARP protocol, to allow Internet
hosts to find their protocol address at boot time from a network
server.

	As well as the standard RARP functionality, with explicit
mappings between IP numbers and hardware addresses hard-coded into the
RARP table, RARPSERVER from Turbosoft allows a range of IP numbers to
be allocated dynamically on a first-come-first-served basis. This
provides extremely simple management of IP numbers in large sites, as
only the end numbers in the range need be specified. The RARPSERVER
will track the allocation of each number and poll each machine
periodically to determine when the IP number is no longer required,
when it will be returned to the pool and made available for allocation
to another client.

	This new mode is invaluable in sites where IP numbers are
running out, and only a small sub-set of machines are using TCP/IP at
any one time.  For instance, in a university environment or corporate
classroom where different groups of machines are used at different
times during the day, only enough IP addresses need be reserved for
the maximum number that will be used concurrently.

	Network management of IP numbers is made extremely easy, as
new hosts can be added to the network and old ones removed without the
RARPSERVER's tables needing to be touched in any way.

	Re-numbering networks becomes a snap - only the central
RARPSERVER need be reconfigured, and each RARP client is automatically
reconfigured when it next boots, without the administrator having to
find, coordinate and configure the several hundred or thousand small
machines such as PCs that may be connected throughout the network.

	Any site with large numbers of PCs will benefit from using the
RARPSERVER to centralise management of their IP address space.

	RARPSERVER software runs on a standard MSDOS PC, and is quite
capable of managing a large network on a floppy-disk-only 512K AT -
you probably have one gathering dust as a doorstop. Up to 12,000 IP
numbers can be managed on a standard 640K PC. Ethernet and Token Ring
architectures are supported using any card with a Packet Driver
interface (supplied).  Also supplied are Dan Lanciani's ODIPKT shim
and Joe Doupnik's DIS_PKT shim for interfacing to cards with ODI or
NDIS drivers.

	Fully-featured demonstration versions are available through
UUENCODEd Email, unfortunately not for anonymous FTP. Just send your
requests and queries to:	info@abccomp.oz.au.

Subject: LOOPN - Language for Object-Oriented Petri Nets
Followup-To: poster
Organization: University of Tasmania, Australia.
Date: Thu, 17 Dec 1992 01:56:15 GMT

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)

There are two facilities in UNIX V rel 4 that will help in 
evaluating a test. Ctrace and  lprof.
Ctrace will trace a program giving lvalues for each statement 
executed.

Lprof will display the frequency of execution 
of statements or the statements executed.

I find both ctrace and lprof useful in debugging and in 
determining the coverage of a test.
