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.

Archive-name: auto/comp.software-eng/Review-of-revisions-of-CMM-v1-0


The SEI has drafted a revised version of the Capability Maturity Model (v1.01)
based on change requests and CMM Workshop feedback.  The CMM drafts are
available by anonymous ftp if you would like to review these drafts and
tell us whether we have adequately addressed your concerns.  (Most of them
anyway, there are a couple that will probably be put out on Monday.)

This comment period will last until 11 September 1992.  We would like to have
the comments in before the SEI Software Engineering Symposium.  Send your
comments by e-mail to mcp@sei.cmu.edu or fax them to 412-268-5758.

Please note that this is not an opportunity for offering new change requests.
This is an opportunity for informal discussion; we do not plan to track the 
comments formally or even acknowledge their receipt.  We would just like to 
solicit your opinion on whether we have adequately addressed the issues raised
during the commenting period.

To use anonymous ftp:

	ftp ftp.sei.cmu.edu
	login: anonymous
	password: <your user id or any string>
	cd pub/cmm/v1.1
	get <files>
	quit

The instructions for obtaining the CMM V1.1 files are contained in READ.ME in 
pub/cmm/v1.1.  

After CMM V1.01 is complete, we plan to do some pilot testing to check for any 
continuing clarity issues.  The CMM Advisory Board will review CMM V1.01, 
using comments from the CMM Correspondence Group reviewers and pilot test 
feedback.  With their assistance, we will address any refinement and 
integration issues and create CMM V1.02, which will go through our formal 
approval process (internally, by our CMM Configuration Control Board and 
Information Management group; externally, by the SEI Joint Program Office).  
The approved version, with any necessary changes to CMM V1.02, will be 
released as CMM V1.1 at the end of the year.

Please note that the last items going into the review process will be the 
glossary and the TR-25 Overview.  They will be reviewed later since they are 
critically dependent on how issues are resolved in the key process areas.  
They will probably be distributed near the end of September.

Comments thus far have ranged from "don't change it" to "I actually prefer 
the old version" (both in regard to the CMM v1.01 draft goals).  We will 
continue to refine our revision effort based on the needs of the software 
community; your comments can have a significant impact on how we proceed.

GNU indent changes the appearance of a C program by inserting or
deleting whitespace according to a great variety of options.  Several
canned styles of formatting are supported as well.  GNU indent is a
decendant of BSD indent.

GNU indent 1.6 is now available on prep.ai.mit.edu [18.71.0.38] in the
file /pub/gnu/indent-1.6.tar.Z.

Version 1.6 fixes all the bugs reported for version 1.5.

I have uploaded version 1.0.0 of GLIB.EXE to ftp-os2.nmsu.edu. It can be
found in /pub/downloads as:

glib.zoo        .... glib.exe and man page.
glibsrc.zoo     .... glib source and MS App notes on OBJ/LIB files.
                     (source requires an HPFS partition)

This program allows you to create and manage .LIB files.

The files should eventually be moved to /pub/os2/2.0/programming.

Archive-name: auto/comp.os.os9/TeX-for-OSK-is-on-hermit

Well, folks, after chasing it for nearly three years, I have finally found
a PD version of the TeX typesetting program ported to OS9/68000. It is the
port done by John Wainwright. I found it on a local BBS back home over
the summer. I had to download it at 1200 baud, but now it's available via
anonymous FTP from hermit.cs.wisc.edu, presently in the /incoming/OSKTeX
directory. It will likely be moved to another directory as soon as Mr.
Pruyne  finds time to update his maintenance.
   Included are the source code to virtex and initex, as well as executables
of each, and source code to dvi2tty, a dumb-terminal dvi previewer. I also
included a simple C program called 'tex', which does the command line
substitution of 'tex foo.tex' for the more cumbersome 'virtex &plain foo.tex'
Now all that is needed is a printer driver to take the dvi files and print
them out, as well as the rastered font files required for that printer driver.
Let me know if you have source for a dvi driver of some sort. I'm looking
for a dvi-to-epson driver myself, though I'm sure others are interested in the
drivers and fonts for their respective printers as well.

Enjoy!

across an entire TCP/IP network.

  The package is available from ftp.spc.edu (192.107.46.27) in the [.ucx]
directory as rwho.bck. It joins the existing ports of "new" talk, ping, and
whois already there.

  A readme file is included which contains installation instructions.

Archive-name: auto/comp.os.os2.misc/uploads-dvidvi-dvips-flip

I have uploaded the following files to ftp-os2.nmsu.edu:

flip1os2.zip   Rahul Dhesi's newline conversion program
dvidvi.zip    	Rokicki's dvi-to-dvi translator (select pages, two-up,...)
dvips549.zip   Rokicki's dvips 5.490, see also Sinha's 2.0 port

These were compiled with MSC 6.00A, and will run under OS/2 1.3 and
2.0.  dvips is a bound executable (so will also run under MSDOS); 
separate bound executables are included for flip and dvidvi.  
Programs were not tested under OS/2 1.1--1.2, but probably will work
under 1.2.


Notes:
1. I do not completely understand why Dhesi used the
findfirst/findnext calls, as they require somewhat fancy coding due
to the nature of flip. I used setargv.obj to provide globbing and
long filenames. Comments welcomed.


2. dvidvi from labrea definitely has problems. It says it is ready for
MSC 6, but see my README.OS2 file. In addition, one of the '#ifdef
SHORTINT' has the cases incorrect. Redirection should now work.

Thanks to 
  Clemens Beckstein (clemens@immd8.informatik.uni-erlangen.de)
  YAMAMOTO Keizo (a40476b@nucc.cc.nagoya-u.ac.jp)
  Samir Varma (varmint@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu) 
for "beta-test" reports.


3. dvips549 was created from the nice OS/2 2.0 port by Gyan P. Sinha
(gyan@unixg.ubc.ca) posted to ftp-os2.nmsu.edu in pub/os2/2.0/emtex/.
Sinha's file should also be obtained, as my archive includes only the
makefile, link def's, and executables. It should be noted that I am a
dvips neophyte.


4. Bug-reports and success-reports welcomed!


Suggested names and final resting places:

pub/os2/all/emtex/
  dvidvi.zip  Rokicki's dvi-to-dvi (select pages, 2-up, etc.)
  dvips549.zip  Rokicki's dvips 5.490; needs Sinha's 2.0 port

Text File Thanks and Credit

Developer Technical Support (DTS) has always written Apple II Technical Notes
and File Type Notes to be read on paper, where typographical conventions,
formatting and diagrams can often make points much, much clearer than simple
ASCII text can.  However, for internal reasons of author convenience this makes
the source material in a format unusable on the Apple II, and the lowest-common
denominator for conversion to a native format is ASCII text files.

Converting these files to text is hard, tedious and thankless, and DTS wishes
to thank those people who have spent their own time and effort to provide this
service for the Apple II development community.

For June/July 1992:

Developer Technical Support wishes to thank Eileen Crawford and Tammy Dimas in
Apple's Engineering Support group for working to make the tools for text file
conversion of these Notes available quickly.

We also thank Softdisk Publishing for the preliminary use of a program that
makes converting Apple IIgs/Macintosh high-ASCII characters to standard ASCII a
lot more painless than it used to be.

But the biggest thanks go to Steve Gunn of New Castle, Indiana, who's worked
long and hard (and given up part of his summer) to make these Notes available
before the big conference in Kansas City.  Now Steve's agreed to reconvert the
existing Technical Notes and File Type Notes so they're all consistent and
accurate.  Thanks, Steve!

Archive-name: auto/comp.os.os2.programmer/EMX-Manual

After some work, I have converted the develop.doc file which accompanies
the EMX distribution into a Texinfo document; that's right, one document
which produces a nice TeX formatted manual AND .info files for use with
Emacs.

Now for the bad news: The C Library documentation is still sketchy (that
part, while prettier to look at, was lifted whole-cloth from the
develop.doc), the info files require the newest version of Makeinfo (Emacs
cannot compile them internally; I followed the v2 documentation and some of
the features are not yet supported) and you need a very current version of
texinfo.tex (2.991 works and comes with the Makeinfo port for OS/2).

The files are available for anon ftp from ftp.cs.unc.edu in the /pub/ladd
directory:

        File            Description
        emxdvi.zoo      DVI version of printed manual, zoo 2.1
        emxinfo.zoo     .info files for use with Emacs, zoo 2.1
        emxtexi.zoo     The source Texinfo file, zoo 2.1

If there are any problems, corrections, or additions you would like to
volunteer, I am more than happy to accept them; my next goal in the
documentation is a tutorial on PM programming with EMX and some interest
has been expressed in filling in the gaps in the C Library documentation
(and then there is the PM API docs :->), but the school year has begun
again, so progress may be a little slow.

It will probably get moved to the pub/mud/CoolMUD directory shortly
(don't blame me; I didn't capitalize it).  To the many meaningless
adjectives and Stupid Buzzwords preceeding 'COOLMUD' (such as
distributed, multi-threaded, programmable, object-oriented) can now
be added "disk-based".  It's using the UnterMUD object-paging and
cacheing layer.  There are a few other minor fixes.

One of our students, Stefan Schwendimann, has written as his diploma work
a MAPLE-package for algebraic curves in the affine and projective plane.

The package contains functions for: various transformations, multiple
components, normal forms, analysis of singularities, multiplicities,
tangents, polar, linear systems, intersections (-multiplicities), Hessian,
inflections, explicit and implicit representations, curve plots.

Modern software engeneering and software development was a major part of the 
whole project, including that the package is stable and well documented
(e.g. MAPLE help files are available). Part of the package will be a
future member of the MAPLE share library.



Everything (source code and documentation) is available via ftp:
