Open Source Modeller for Povray & AutoCAD forming nicely
|
||
|
</font>
|

|
</H3>

<P>

<P>
|

An Open Source 3D Modelling program using GTK is shaping up; it's called
|
||
|
"Giram" (Giram Is Really A Modeller). Giram can already create scenes
|
||
|
and provide a front-end to Povray, the clever part being that it both
|
||
|
reads and writes Povray scripts - the only one that does that we know
|
||
|
of. AutoCAD import and export filters are shaping nicely and we would
|
||
|
like to include other formats too. Animation and post-production
|
||
|
features are planned.
|
||
|
<P>
|
||
|
If you are interested, or would like to help create the free 3D modeller
|
||
|
that Linux so badly needs, please visit the Giram website.

<P>
|

|
Ottawa, Canada - April 21, 1999 - Corel Corporation (NASDAQ: COSFF,

TSE: COS) today announced an alliance with two major Open Source developer
|
||
|
communities to advance the development of its proposed Linux distribution;

|
the desktop PC.
|

Corel and the K Desktop Environment (KDE) Project will be working together

|
||

|
bases in the Linux community, and is known for its stability and security.
|

|
||
|
With a recent alliance with Cygnus, which will provide Cygnus

||
|
GNUPro software technology to enable Corel to move its market-leading
|
||
|
productivity applications to Linux, Corel is firmly on track to deliver
|

Programming with Qt Book Release

Sebastopol, CA--Qt is an easy-to-use, multi-platform C++ GUI toolkit.
|
||
|
With Qt, a developer can write an application once and run it on UNIX,
|
||
|
Windows 95/98, and Windows NT platforms. Linux developers can acquire Qt
|
||
|
for free (unless they wish to develop closed-source commercial
|
||
|
applications in which case they must purchase a license). Now O'Reilly
|
||
|
and Associates has published a book on Qt"Programming with Qt" by
|
||
|
Matthias Kalle Dalheimer.
|
||
|
<P>
|
||
|
Qt's benefits are impressive, but the learning curve can be steep. Qt
|
||
|
comes with excellent reference documentation, but beginners often find
|
||
|
the included tutorial is not enough to really get started with Qt. "We
|
||
|
felt there was a need for a book that guides you through the steps of
|
||
|
writing a Qt application and presents all of the GUI elements in Qt,
|
||
|
along with advice about when and how to use them, so that you can make
|
||
|
full use of the toolkit." said Elke Hansel, Managing Director of
|
||
|
O'Reilly Germany, "There's also lots of information for seasoned Qt
|
||
|
programmers, including material on advanced 2D transformations,
|
||
|
drag-and-drop, and writing custom image file filters."

PowerQuest's Lost & Found
|

</font>
|
||
|
</H3>
|
||
|
<P>
|
||
|
Johannesburg, 3 May 1999 - The Chernobyl virus, which was
|
||
|
responsible for destroying data from thousands of hard drives
|
||
|
throughout the world, has proven just how powerful PowerQuest Corporation's
|
||
|
data recovery tool Lost & Found can be when facing damaged data. People
|
||
|
throughout the world are using Lost & Found to retrieve files from
|
||
|
their Chernobyl-infected computers and, in all known cases, have recovered
|
||
|
100 percent of the lost, deleted or corrupted data. Search & Rescue, the
|
||
|
enterprise version of Lost & Found, is also being used to help businesses
|
||
|
recover from virus infections. Both products are available from
|
||
|
Johannesburg-based software distributor OS/2 Express SA.
|
||
|
<P>
|
||
|
Lost & Found is a fast and easy way to restore lost data on your PC.
|
||
|
Lost & Found automatically recovers and restores data after virus
|
||
|
infection, accidental (or intentional) data loss, a disk crash or
|
||
|
logical system failure. As long as the disk is still spinning, Lost &
|
||
|
Found can locate and recover almost any lost file for FAT and FAT32.
|
||
|
In addition, Lost & Found does not need to be installed prior to data
|
||
|
loss.
|
||
|
<P>
|
||
|
OS/2 Express SA markets utilities, tools and applications for Windows, OS/2
|
||
|
Linux and Netware, including all PowerQuest products, as well as Linux
|
||
|
distributions, including RedHat, SuSE, OpenLinux, Slackware, TurboLinux,
|
||
|
Mandrake, Debian, FreeBSD and LinuxPro
