|

|
<P>
|
|||
|
SEBASTOPOL, CA--O'Reilly & Associates announced today that it is
|
|||
|
expanding its support of Open Source software by presenting the
|
|||
|
O'Reilly Open Source Conferences--Perl Conference 3.0 plus several new
|
|||
|
technical Conferences on mission-critical Open Source software--on
|
|||
|
August 21-24, 1999 at the Monterey Convention Center in Monterey, CA.
|
|||
|
<P>
|
|||
|
For the first time, programmers, webmasters, and system administrators
|
|||
|
can find--under one roof--a spectrum of high-end technical sessions,
|
|||
|
presented by the key developers in each technology. In real-world
|
|||
|
applications, users draw on several Open Source technologies to get the
|
|||
|
job done. At the O'Reilly Conferences on Perl, Linux, FreeBSD, Apache,
|
|||
|
Sendmail and other Open Source technologies, attendees can move freely
|
|||
|
between Conferences, choosing from a rich panoply of sessions on these
|
|||
|
interrelated technologies. In addition, each Conference is preceded by
|
|||
|
in-depth tutorials.
|
|||
|
<P>
|
|||
|
<I>Linux Journal</I> is a major sponsor of O'Reilly's Linux Conference.
|
|||
|
Publisher Phil Hughes said, "Since the early days, O'Reilly has been
|
|||
|
documenting Linux and the Open Source utilities that Linux users depend
|
|||
|
on. They're very close to the technical community, and they'll bring
|
|||
|
that inside perspective to their Linux Conference. We're looking
|
|||
|
forward to working with them."

|
list, seul-edu, to cover all aspects of educational uses of Linux. In
|
|||
|
addition to the discussion, resources are available that should enable the
|
|||
|
development (with the help of interested volunteers) of various open
|

Linux wins PC World Denmark award for "Innovation of the Year - Software"
|
|||
|
Copenhagen, 1998-11-12<BR>
|
|||
|
<P>
|
|||
|
On behalf of the entire Linux community, the Skåne Sjælland Linux User
|
|||
|
Group (SSLUG) today received the PC World Denmark 'Product of the
|
|||
|
Year' award in the category "Innovation of the Year - Software". The
|
|||
|
award was accepted by Peter Toft and Henrik Størner from SSLUG.
|
|||
|
<P>
|
|||
|
The "Innovation of the Year" award is given to products or
|
|||
|
technologies which have shown significant innovativeness and impact
|
|||
|
through out the year. PC World editors motivated their choice thus:
|
|||
|
<P>
|
|||
|
"Linux. The 'Ugly Duckling' that turned into a beautiful swan and
|
|||
|
became - to put it briefly - the most widely used operating system for
|
|||
|
Internet servers world wide, despite the marketing muscle of the larger
|
|||
|
companies. NT has a tremendous hold on the market, but Linux is
|
|||
|
gaining new followers every day, and continues to find new uses
|
|||
|
wherever a stable, economical and versatile operating system is
|
|||
|
needed."
|
|||
|
<P>
|
|||
|
The other two nominees in the "Innovation of the Year - Software"
|
|||
|
category were<BR>

* Microsoft Windows 98<BR>

* Mirabilis ICQ

ISVs -- please join the LSB effort
|
|||
|
</font>
|

|
</H3>
|
|||
|
<P>
|
|||
|
With the Linux standardization well on its way with the Linux Standard Base
|
|||
|
(LSB) effort headed by Daniel Quinlan, various vendors brought up the
|
|||
|
issue that there needed to be a way for independent software vendors to
|
|||
|
get their input into the standards effort. After some discussion,
|
|||
|
it was decided to add a mailing list to the LSB effort that was specifically
|
|||
|
for ISVs.
|
|||
|
<P>
|
|||
|
This list will make it possible for ISVs to hash out what they see needed
|
|||
|
in the Linux standard and then present their joint effort to the LSB group for
|
|||
|
consideration. This approach will make it easier for LSB to meet the
|
|||
|
needs of all the vendors.
|
|||
|
<P>
|
|||
|
If you are an ISV and want to join the list, send your e-mail address to
|
|||
|
Clarica Grove (<A HREF="mailto:clarica@ssc.com">clarica@ssc.com</A>) with ISV in the subject line of your message.
|
|||
|
She will add you to the list and we can get our part of the effort
|
|||
|
underway. If it is unlikely we are familiar with the product you have
|
|||
|
developed, please include a brief description.

Linux Game Development Center
|

</font>
|

|
</H3>
|
|||
|
<P>
|
|||
|
Date: Mon, 16 Nov 1998 09:39:14 GMT<BR>

|
Linux has games. Linux has good games. But that other operating system
|
|||
|
has several orders of magnitude more good games than Linux. That's
|
|||
|
bad. And difficult to overcome, as it's not only because of technical
|
|||
|
reasons. But we, the free software community, have have a long history
|
|||
|
of solving problems and shipping around obstacles. There is no reason
|
|||
|
why we should not be able to solve this issue, too.
|
|||
|
<P>
|
|||
|
In essence we are suggesting that this new Linux Game Development
|
|||
|
Center be a kind of meta-project. It would be dedicated to advocating
|
|||
|
Linux as gaming platform, collecting knowledge about Linux game
|
|||
|
development and using it to help all interested people, providing
|
|||
|
facilities for discussion to Linux game developers and, last but not
|
|||
|
least, encouraging and helping existing free (Open Source) game SDK
|
|||
|
projects coordinate with one another.
|
|||
|
<P>
|
|||
|
This is also a call for developers, users and game SDK projects to
|
|||
|
join our efforts.
|
|||
|
<P>
|
|||
|
While game development for Linux would be an important goal of the web
|
|||
|
site, the most important goal would be the development of quality
|
|||
|
cross-platform game libraries. For that reason, developers of games
|
|||
|
and game SDKs for platforms other than Linux would be more than
|
|||
|
welcome to join us. Especially if they are interested in porting
|
|||
|
software to or from Linux.
|
|||
|
<P>
|
|||
|
The biggest problem with having multiple, competing projects is the
|
|||
|
resultant (developer and user) confusion. What we are proposing is a
|
|||
|
Linux Game Development Center that is aimed simply at reducing that
|
|||
|
confusion by helping people to find, evaluate, combine and use the
|
|||
|
available tools, or to develop new, missing ones.

Yesterday the KlikExpo international fair was opened in Tirana Albania.
|
|||
|
With the help of Fastech Ltd, Linux.org Albania could promote Linux for
|
|||
|
the first time in Albania. Our section was also visited by the Albanian
|
|||
|
Prime Minister. I had a brief chat with him, and described shortly the
|
|||
|
power and efficiency of Linux. Our section will be open for the next 4
|
|||
|
days at the Tirana international fair center.
|
|||
|
<P>
|
|||
|
Special thanks to Fastech Ltd. who made available for us an ACER PII
|
|||
|
300MHz machine and hosted us in their section.

<P>
|
|||
|
Ottawa, Canada--November 25, 1998<BR>
|
|||
|
Corel Computer and the KDE project today announced a technology relationship
|
|||
|
that will bring the K Desktop Environment (KDE), a sophisticated graphical
|
|||
|
user environment for Linux and UNIX, to future desktop versions of the
|
|||
|
NetWinder family of Linux-based thin-clients and thin-servers. A graphical
|
|||
|
user interface is a necessary element for Corel Computer to create a family of
|
|||
|
highly reliable, easy-to-use, easy-to-manage desktop computers. The alliance
|
|||
|
between Corel Computer and KDE, a non-commercial association of Open Source
|
|||
|
programmers, provides NetWinder users a sophisticated front-end to Linux,
|
|||
|
a stable and robust Unix-like operating system.
|
|||
|
<P>
|
|||
|
Corel Computer has shipped a number of NetWinder DM, or development
|
|||
|
machines, to KDE developers who are helping to port the desktop environment.
|
|||
|
Corel Computer plans to announce the availability of desktop versions of the
|
|||
|
NetWinder running KDE beginning in early 1999. Early demonstrations of
|
|||
|
the port, such as the one shown at the Open Systems fair in Wiesbaden,
|
|||
|
Germany, in September, have been enthusiastically received by potential
|
|||
|
customers.
|
|||
|
<P>
|
|||
|
As a developing partner, Corel
|
|||
|
Computer will release its work back to the KDE development community.

Red Hat Software releases Red Hat Linux 5.2

<P>
|
|||

Research Triangle Park, NC -- November 2, 1998 -- Simplified installation,
|

|
Native Software RAID support, Apache 1.3 , GIMP 1.0, and the Application CD
|
|||

are among the features that mark Red Hat Software's November 9 release of Red
|
|||
|
Hat Linux 5.2.
|
|||
|
<P>
|
|||
|
A feature of Red Hat Linux 5.2's new and improved installation is the ability
|
|||
|
to automatically partition the hard drive by selecting either a workstation or
|
|||
|
server install. All of the power of the Red Hat Linux OS is still available
|
|||
|
via "custom" install. Back buttons DHCP, boot floppy creation, enhanced
|
|||
|
rescue mode and countless other tools that made 5.1 a success are all still
|
|||
|
there.

CORBA on LINUX Gains Momentum
|

|
<P>
|
|||
|
Date: Tue, 03 Nov 1998 16:24:32 -0500<BR>
|
|||
|
Framingham, MA - Programmers and end-users can now obtain implementations
|
|||
|
of the Object Management Group's (OMG's) Common Object Request Broker
|
|||
|
Architecture (CORBA) for Linux. As the momentum has grown behind the open
|
|||
|
source Linux operating system, more and more OMG members have requested
|
|||
|
this support. The emergence of CORBA-conformant ORBs for Linux is an
|
|||
|
indicator of the commercial confidence and industry support for both CORBA
|
|||
|
and Linux.
|
|||
|
<P>
|
|||
|
At Washington University, the development of the TAO ORB is being sponsored
|
|||
|
by companies and organizations including Boeing, Lucent and Motorola which
|
|||
|
recognize the value of open source models and can recognize the future
|
|||
|
commercial value of such ORBs.

Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 'Slink' is now in a frozen state. The delay was due to

Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 'Potato' will be the next version of the Debian

PlanetUplink IBN (Internet Based Network) allows businesses to gain access
|
|||
|
to and share virtually any application or database simultaneously (real
|
|||
|
time) on almost any computer from their remote and multiple offices,
|
|||
|
globally, via the Internet.
|
|||

|
This week, Planet Computer announced the expansion of PlanetUplink to
|
|||
|
support Linux (server and client), in addition to the currently supported
|
|||
|
Macintosh, OS/2, UNIX (Solaris/Sparc, Solaris/x86, SGI, IBM, SCO, HP/UX,
|
|||
|
DEC, SunOS), Windows (Win95, NT, Windows CE, Win3.x), DOS and Java.

mcl 0.42.05 - MUD Client for Linux
|
|||
|
</font>
|
|||
|
</H3>
|
|||
|
<P>
|

Date: Mon, 16 Nov 1998 08:50:18 GMT<BR>
|
|||
|
mcl is a small MUD client running under a Virtual Console in Linux. It
|
|||
|
uses direct VC access via the /dev/vcsa devices, spending very little
|
|||
|
CPU time (compared to tintin). This, however, allows it only to be run
|
|||
|
under Linux and only under a virtual console.
|
|||
|
<P>
|
|||
|
New in version 0.42.05 is a number of bug fixes (actions not saving,
|
|||
|
speedwalk acting incorrectly in some situation and more) as well as
|
|||
|
support for compression of the connection (using zlib). The latter is
|
|||
|
currently only supported by Abandoned Reality (abandoned.org 4444) but
|
|||
|
we hope to have the server-side code for any MERC-derived MUD available
|
|||
|
soon.

|||

I've now released version 1.17 of my Plug and Play ISA configuration tools.
|
|||
|
They cover isolation, dumping resource data, and configuring ISA PnP devices.
|
|||
|
<P>
|
|||
|
The tools I wrote for this _will_ eventually be on
|
|||
|
ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/unix/linux/utils/isapnptools-1.17.tgz (81768 bytes),

ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/Linux/sources/sbin/isapnptools-1.17.src.tar.gz
|
|||
|
(And various mirror sites shortly afterwards).
|
|||
|
isapnptools-1.17.lsm in the same directory is simply the LSM entry for isapnptools.
|
|||
|
isapnptools-1.17.bin.tgz in the same directory also includes precompiled binaries.
|

|
<P>
|
|||
|
I've uploaded them, but they may take a day or two to reach their final home.
|

|
<P>
|

The latest version is available now via the link on the isapnptools home

|
viewed pages and program based configuration are included. Keyboard only
|
|||
|
usage is supported.
|
|||
|
<P>

This is the documentation for the tenth release of the CMU SNMP port to
|
|||
|
Linux. This port supports SNMP version 1 (SNMPv1) and SNMP version 2
|
|||
|
(SNMPv2). It includes a bilingual SNMPv1/SNMPv2 agent and several simple
|
|||
|
command-line management tools. This release is based on the CMU SNMP release
|
|||
|
with USEC support. It does not implement the historic party based
|
|||
|
administrative model of SNMPv2 and has no additional support for SNMPv3.

SNMP is the Simple Network Management Protocol of the Internet. The first
|
|||
|
version of this protocol (SNMPv1) is a full Internet standard and defined in
|
|||
|
RFC 1155 and RFC 1157. The second version of SNMP (SNMPv2) is defined in RFC
|
|||
|
1901 - RFC 1908 and is currently a draft Internet standard.

Dlite v0.03 -- Debian Lite distributon

|

<P>
|

Date: Wed, 18 Nov 1998 13:07:25 GMT<BR>
|
|||
|
Dlite v0.03 is small sub-set of the Debian GNU/Linux binary packages
|
|||
|
most suited to ISPs needing a small but powerful operating system.
|
|||
|
The distribution will always be less than 100 Mb so it's possible
|
|||
|
to maintain a mirror on every host ready for any situation, from
|
|||
|
emergency rebuild through to regular maintenance updates.
|
|||
|
<P>
|
|||
|
A singular sub-set of packages cannot be all things to all people
|
|||
|
but by having one consistent base-line reference of the most
|
|||
|
commonly used packages readily available and widely used, therefore
|
|||
|
tested, it can assist smaller startup Linux based ISP tech people
|
|||
|
to get on with managing their clients rather than just the system.
|
|||
|
<P>
|
|||
|
This is a fledgling project so any suggestion are most welcome.

ClibPDF - ANSI C Source Library for Direct PDF Generation

FastIO Systems announced the availability of
|
|||
|
ClibPDF: an ANSI C Source Library for Direct PDF Generation.
|
|||
|
ClibPDF offers a competition to Thomas Merz's PDFlib, but it
|
|||
|
does much more than PDFlib, particularly for graph plotting
|
|||
|
applications.
|
|||
|
<P>
|
|||
|
For details and downloading of ClibPDF, visit our web site,
|
|||
|
<A HREF="http://www.fastio.com/">http://www.fastio.com/</A>
|
|||
|
<P>
|
|||
|
ClibPDF is a library of ANSI C functions, distributed in source
|
|||
|
form, for creating PDF (Acrobat) files directly via C language
|
|||
|
programs without relying on any Adobe Acrobat tools and related
|
|||
|
products. It is suitable for fast dynamic PDF Web page generation
|
|||
|
in response to user input and real-time data, and also for implementing
|
|||
|
publication-quality graph plotting for both on-screen viewing and
|
|||
|
printing in any custom application.

Partitionless Installation with EasyLinux
|

<P>

|
EasyLinux is a revolutionary new Linux distribution which eliminates the
|
|||
|
need to repartition hard drives. Instead, it creates a Linux filesystem
|
|||
|
inside a large file on the DOS partition. Unlike with umsdos,
|
|||
|
performance is not significantly affected so this mode of operation is
|
|||
|
suitable for production machines. It is still possible to repartition
|
|||
|
if you want to.
|
|||
|
<P>
|
|||
|
EasyLinux is available in two packages. The first contains only the two
|
|||
|
CDs, and is intended for experienced Linux users. This package costs <20>
|
|||
|
4.95 (approximately $8). The second contains the CDs and a 700 page
|
|||
|
book about installing and using Linux. This package also includes
|
|||
|
technical support. The price of this package is <20> 29.95 (approximately
|
|||
|
$50).

tomsrtbt-1.7.0 with 2.0.36 and cetera - boot/root rescue floppy
|

|
|||
|
I've put a new 2.0.36 based tomsrtbt-1.7.0 up on http://www.toms.net/rb/.
|
|||
|
Later I'll also load it to Sunsite's Incoming to go into system/recovery.
|
|||
|
<P>
|
|||
|
It's a boot/root rescue/emergency floppy image with more stuff than can fit.
|
|||
|
Bzip2, 1722Mb formatting, and tight compilation options helped jam a lot on.
|
|||
|
<P>
|
|||
|
It is useful for "learn unix on a floppy" as it runs from ramdisk, includes
|
|||
|
the man-pages for everything, and behaves in a generally predictable way.
|
|||
|
<P>
|
|||
|
"The most Linux on one floppy." (distribution or panic disk).
|
|||
|
1.72MB boot/root rescue disk with a lot of hardware and tools.
|
|||
|
Supports ide, scsi, tape, network adaptors, PCMCIA, much more.
|
|||
|
About 100 utility programs and tools for fixing and restoring.
|
|||
|
See tomsrtbt.FAQ for a list of stuff that is included. Not a
|
|||
|
script, just the diskette image packed up chock full of stuff.
|
|||
|
Easy to customize startup and scripts for complete rebuilding.
|
|||
|
Also good as learn-unix-on-a-floppy as it has mostly what you
|
|||
|
expect- vi, emacs, awk, sed, sh, manpages- loaded on ramdisks.
|
|||
|
There is one installer that runs under Linux, another for DOS.
|
|||
|
<P>

This Apache module provides strong cryptography for the Apache 1.3 webserver
|
|||
|
via the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS
|
|||
|
v1) protocols by the help of the SSL/TLS implementation library SSLeay from
|
|||
|
Eric A. Young and Tim J. Hudson. The mod_ssl package was created in April
|
|||
|
1998 by Ralf S. Engelschall and was originally derived from software
|
|||
|
developed by Ben Laurie for use in the Apache-SSL HTTP server project.
|
|||

multiple is a utility for comparing files which includes these

|
features:
|
|||
|
<ul>
|
|||
|
<li>comparing all files with each other, given to
|
|||
|
multiple via command line
|
|||
|
<li> print out superflous files without
|
|||
|
further comments => so removing superflous
|
|||
|
files is easy
|
|||
|
<li> if you wish, the names of all equal files will be
|
|||
|
printed (not only superflous)
|
|||
|
<li>if you want, the data until the first empty line
|
|||
|
will be ignored for comparing the files (e.g. for
|
|||
|
ignoring mail-/newsheaders and comparing only the
|
|||
|
message-bodies)

|
|||
|
Just wanted to let every one know that I have just released some new
|
|||
|
search engine software.
|
|||
|
The database is PostgreSQL, the front-end is PHP 3.x, and it runs on a
|
|||
|
Red Hat 4.2 Linux box.
|
|||
|
(or any Linux box, that's just what I'm using)
|
|||
|
<P>
|
|||
|
As it is brand new, it is also mostly empty, feel free to put any new
|
|||
|
listings on it that you want except no porno stuff. Nothing can be seen
|
|||
|
until it is approved, I will check several times a day for stuff needing
|
|||
|
approval.
|
|||
|
<P>
|
|||
|
I would like a lot of Linux related stuff, would like it to sort of
|
|||
|
become a specialty search engine for Linux stuff. But most any listings
|
|||
|
are welcome.
|
|||
|
<P>
|
|||
|
If you want to add a series of new categories, email me and I can add
|
|||
|
them all at once.
|
|||
|
<P>
|
|||
|
This version is BATA and will no doubt evolve a great deal in time to
|
|||
|
come.
|
|||
|
<P>
|
|||
|
For any one how wants to run a search engine, lse is available for free
|
|||
|
down load at my ftp site.
|
|||
|
Find it on the lse!

|
|||
|
Yard is a suite of Perl scripts for creating rescue disks (also called
|
|||
|
bootdisks). A rescue disk is a self-contained Linux kernel and filesystem
|
|||
|
on a floppy, usually used when you can't (or don't want to) boot off your
|
|||
|
hard disk. A rescue disk usually contains utilities for diagnosing and
|
|||
|
manipulating hard disks and filesystems.

Macsyma math software for Linux
|
|||
|
</font>
|
|||
|
</H3>
|
|||
|
<P>
|
|||
|
ARLINGTON, MA (November 11, 1998): Macsyma(R) math software is now
|
|||
|
available for the first time in PCs running the Linux operating system.
|
|||
|
<P>
|
|||
|
Macsyma includes 1,300 executable demonstrations and is
|
|||
|
easily accessible at many points in the help system. Also hypertext
|
|||
|
descriptions of 2,900 topics, a browser with 900 topics and commands,
|
|||
|
and 900 type-in command templates.
|
|||
|
<P>
|
|||
|
Macsyma 421 has client-server capability, which is particularly
|
|||
|
helpful on local area networks.
|
|||
|
<P>
|
|||
|
Recent mathematical improvements include enhanced speed in solving
|
|||
|
linear and algebraic equations, stochastic mathematics, better
|
|||
|
evaluation of special functions, and enhanced tensor analysis. It is
|
|||
|
smarter about using the algebraic signs of expressions to simplify
|
|||
|
results.
|
|||
|
<P>
|
|||
|
The U.S. commercial price for Macsyma 421 for Linux workstations is $249
|
|||
|
(or $199 without paper manuals). The U.S. commercial price for Linux
|
|||
|
Macsyma with NumKit (which requires using a client running MS-Windows)
|
|||
|
is $349. Academic prices are available.

Buildkernel 0.87 - automates the task of building a Linux kernel

|
<P>

|
|||
|
Buildkernel is a shell script that automates the task of building
|
|||
|
a Linux kernel. If you can type "buildkernel --NEWESTSTABLE", you can
|
|||
|
have a new Linux kernel on your system!
|
|||
|
<P>
|
|||
|
Building a kernel is a complicated task for the new user. The
|
|||
|
Kernel-HOWTO is an excellent summary of how it's done, but it still takes
|
|||
|
some time and understanding to do. Buildkernel takes away a lot of the
|
|||
|
learning necessary for first time builders. For experienced users that
|
|||
|
build kernels frequently, if automates the process so it is more
|
|||
|
"hands-off".
|
|||
|
It has been tested on the x86 architecture and currently knows
|
|||
|
about lilo and boot floppies (I would like to have future releases handle
|
|||
|
syslinux, milo, silo, etc. - any takers?).

A linux all-in-a-box drum-machine.
|
|||
|
<P>
|
|||
|
Groovit is essentially a drum matrix which can handle
|
|||
|
any samples, combined with, at least and depending on
|
|||
|
the CPU strength, two analog synths voices.
|
|||
|
<P>
|
|||
|
Any voice can go through several effects, (for instance
|
|||
|
a dynamic filter, and an echo/reverb). It is intended to
|
|||
|
be as "real-time" as possible, depending on CPU strength
|
|||
|
mostly.
|
|||
|
<P>
|
|||
|
It computes sounds internally with 32bit range, and
|
|||
|
outputs at 16. It also has several resonant filters that
|
|||
|
quickly bring you handsome noise.

Remote Microscope software 1.0a1 - remote access to optical microscopes

|

|
Version 1.0alpha1 of CNRI's Remote Microscope software is now
|
|||
|
available. The Remote Microscope system allows users to access and
|
|||
|
control an optical microscope over the Internet using a Java applet,
|
|||
|
as demonstrated at the recent Python conference.
|
|||
|
<P>
|
|||
|
As part of the MEMS Exchange project, CNRI is working on fully
|
|||
|
automated and remotely controllable semiconductor inspection
|
|||
|
microscopes to let chip designers view their wafers from any location
|
|||
|
having an Internet connection. However, Internet microscope access
|
|||
|
can be useful in other fields, such as biology or material science.
|
|||
|
We're releasing the code for our microscope software in the hope that
|
|||
|
other people will find it useful and will contribute suggestions,
|
|||
|
improvements, ports to new systems, etc.

XFree86-3.3.3.
|
|||
|
This is the latest in our series of "final XFree86-3.3.x release"
|
|||
|
Most of our work is focused on XFree86-4.0 these days, but the amazing
|
|||
|
shelftime of graphics hardware makes another "old design" release
|
|||
|
necessary.

MasterPlan for Linux represents a new step forward for
|
|||
|
time management software. Sporting many unique and
|
|||
|
useful features, MasterPlan's ease of use makes planning
|
|||
|
your life easier than ever.
|
|||
|
<P>
|
|||
|
MasterPlan is partly an Open Source project, and is
|
|||
|
constantly evolving in coevolution with its users. This
|
|||
|
means that your feedback is essential in determining
|
|||
|
whether the program will fit your needs in the future!
|
|||
|
<P>
|
|||
|
MasterPlan is also commercial software - this is what we
|
|||
|
do for a living! So if you want to use it, you must pay a
|
|||
|
(reasonable) fee. But of course you get to try it first!
