Netscape Announces Plans To Make Source Code Free
|
|
</H3>
|
|
January 22, 1998
|
|
<P>
|
|
Netscape Communications Corporation today announced bold plans
|
|
to make the source code for the next generation of its highly popular
|
|
Netscape Communicator client software available for free licensing on
|
|
the Internet. The company plans to post the source code beginning
|
|
with the first Netscape Communicator 5.0 developer release, expected
|
|
by the end of the first quarter of 1998.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Netscape is releasing its currently available Netscape Navigator and
|
|
Communicator Standard Edition 4.0 software products immediately
|
|
free for all users.
|
|
<P>
|
|
In addition, the company separately announced the launch of an
|
|
aggressive new software distribution program called "Unlimited
|
|
Distribution" to broadly distribute its market-leading Internet client
|
|
software for free. Unlimited Distribution enables Original Equipment
|
|
Manufacturers (OEMs), Internet Service Providers (ISPs),
|
|
telecommunications companies, Web content providers, publishers
|
|
and software developers to download and redistribute Netscape
|
|
Communicator and Netscape Navigator easily with "no strings
|
|
attached."
|
|
<P>
|
|
To read and post reactions about this latest announcement, <I>Linux
|
|
Journal</I> has added a discussion group to our <A

away Navigator source code was a good idea. If you've never read it, now is

Japanese Word Processor
|
|
</H3>
|
|
<P>
|
|
Perhaps you'd like to work on another exciting project? There is
|
|
a Windows application, called JWP -- a Japanese Word Processor. This
|
|
package was written by Stephen Chung, and as a GNU product it is freely
|
|
distributable. I've used it extensively over the past few years, and
|
|
it is a *great* package.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Unfortunately, JWP is only available for Windows right now, which is
|
|
locking out a lot of people under other platforms who might benefit from
|
|
it. As Stephen is quite busy with full-time work and maintaining the
|
|
Windows versions (he's developing version 2.00 now), Steve Frampton has
|
|
decided to go ahead with a port to X-Windows.
|
|
<P>
|
|
The JWP-Port Project home page contains more information on the JWP
|
|
package as well as the JWP-Port project itself. If you are interested,
|
|
please visit the page at <A HREF="http://qlink.queensu.ca/~3srf/jwp-port/">

Quikscript
|
|
</H3>
|
|
<P>
|
|
Quikscript is a PostScript text formatting and typesetting program.
|
|
It enables documents to be prepared on any type of hardware, using
|
|
visible layout marks to control the appearance of the output, and
|
|
produce output on a PostScript printer by despatching Qs and the
|
|
document file to the device. No processing is performed by the
|
|
host hardware; all processing is done within the printer.
|
|
<P>
|
|
The advantage that Quikscript provides, other than portability,
|
|
is precision of control over output. Because it is written in
|
|
PostScript, it is interpreted at run-time within the printer.
|
|
It is possible to create documents that modify the Quikscript
|
|
program during execution. It is very easy to include other
|
|
PostScript programs or fragments with Quikscript. It is possible
|
|
to use special PostScript fonts, such as hand-generated ones.
|
|
Graphics generated from a variety of sources can be easily included,
|
|
as can text output from computer programs. It is possible to embed
|
|
Quikscript within a document, such as an advertisement or a telephone
|
|
bill.
|
|
<P>
|
|
The Quikscript distribution is available by anonymous ftp from
|
|
"ftp.adfa.oz.au" in the directory "pub/postscript". It may also be
|
|
accessed through the World Wide Web at URL

Aegis 3.1 - Software Configuration Management System
|
|
</H3>
|
|
<P>
|
|
Aegis is a transaction-based software configuration management system.
|
|
It provides a framework within which a team of developers may work
|
|
on many changes to a program independently, and Aegis coordinates
|
|
integrating these changes back into the master source of the program,
|
|
with as little disruption as possible.
|
|

Speech Enhancement by Kalman Filtering Package
|
|
</H3>
|
|
<P>
|
|
If you are interested in speech enhancement, signal processing
|
|
in general, or applications of Kalman filtering, read on. Mr. Kybic has just
|
|
finished his diploma work, entitled "Kalman Filtering and Speech
|
|
Enhancement" which includes, among other things, an implementation of
|
|
a Kalman smoothing based speech enhancement algorithm, working on
|
|
speech signal corrupted by slowly changing coloured additive noise.
|
|
Tested on Linux and HP-UX. Parallel version using PVM.
|
|
It is not perfect but might be inspiring anyway. Free for
|
|
non-commercial use.
|
|
