Linux Resources Wishlist
|
|
</H3>
|
|
<P>
|
|
Many Linux users find themselves using a wonderful operating system, but are
|
|
missing a few of the software packages that they know and love (or are just
|
|
accustomed to).
|
|
<p>
|
|
Thus, the Linux Resources wish list is designed to provide the Linux Community
|
|
with an easy way to tally a list of software and hardware that they would
|
|
like to see ported to Linux. The results of this survey can be used when
|
|
contacting vendors. Each vote submitted will be used to provide the proof
|
|
that many vendors need to assure them that their product(s) have a market
|
|
in the Linux OS.
|
|
<p>
|
|
What is listed on the Linux Wishlist site?
|
|
Software: Programs from every aspect of computing.
|
|
Hardware: Specific hardware that you would like to use with Linux.
|
|
<p>
|
|

Linux Supported Web Page

</H3>
|

<P>
|
|
The Cleveland Linux User Group (Cleveland, Ohio) has started a project
|
|
to create a Linux Supported Web Page. Current guidelines for the web
|
|
page can be found at

|
|
http://intel.cleveland.lug.net/~mkovach/lswp.html</A>
|
|
<P>
|
|
The purpose of this page will be to prompt companies that use, sell,
|
|
prompt, support Linux. We will not be limiting this to just computer
|
|
companies, but to any company. The idea stemmed from numerous discussions,
|
|
but really comes from the loyality that Linux users seem to have.

G5 Messaging

</H3>

<P>
|
|
G5 Messaging is a new unified multimedia messaging development.
|
|
In 1996, major players from both the vendor and user communities in the
|
|
messaging industry, between them accounting for the supply of over 30%
|
|
of inter-company messaging solutions world-wide, formed The G5 Messaging
|
|
Forum. Since then, heavy investment has been made in developing the next
|
|
generation messaging service.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The draft specification for a G5 messaging service - the
|
|
Interoperability Agreement - was published on the Internet as an open
|
|
discussion document last September. This prompted a world-wide response,
|
|
SFS SOFTWARE's SITEFORUM.

KIllustrator is a freely available vector-based drawing application
|

Adobe Illustrator. Features include different object types, tools for
|
|
moving, various line styles and arrows, a multilevel undo/redo facility, a

|
property editor, multi-window support with cut/copy/paste between the
|
|
windows, zooming and snapping to grid, multilevel undo/redo,
|
|
(network-transparent) drop support with the KDE filemanager, printing to
|
|
PostScript (file or printer), preliminary WMF support, export to raster image

formats (GIF, PNG, XPM) and Encapsulated Postscript and import of Xfig
|
|
files.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The installation requires a working KDE 1.0, QT 1.40 as well as
|
|
gcc-2.8.1 or egc-1.03. KIllustrator is tested on Linux, FreeBSD and
|
|
Solaris.

lde
|
|
</H3>
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
Introducing the new version of lde, the Linux disk editor, for Minix/Linux
|
|
partitions. It currently supports what were once the three most
|
|
popular file systems under Linux: ext2fs, minix, and xiafs (there is
|
|
also a "nofs" system under which lde will function as a binary
|
|
editor). lde allows you to view and edit disk blocks as hex and/or
|
|
ASCII, view/navigate directory entries, and view and edit formatted
|
|
inodes. Most of the functions can be accessed using the program's
|
|
curses interface or from the command line so that you can automate
|
|
things with your own scripts. lde can also be used to recover files which
|
|
may have been accidentally erased or just to poke around the file system to
|
|
see what it's made of. I've included a short introduction to the Minix file
|
|
system (just enough to get the ideas of blocks and inodes across to
|
|
most people) and some docs on the ext2fs (mostly just data out of
|
|
linux/ext2_fs.h formatted as tables to make wading through the disk
|
|
blocks a little bit easier). If you aren't familiar with inode based
|
|
file systems, you should have a look at those files before proceeding
|
|
to the doc/UNERASE file, which details what I think you might try to
|
|
recover a file.
|
|
|
|
There is no tutorial, but there is a detailed man page. Look
|
|
at docs/lde.man (or docs/lde.man.text) for information on running lde
|
|
from the command line and using its ncurses interface. For more
|
|
information on compiling, installing, or running lde for the first
|
|
time, see INSTALL and INSTALL.LDE.

version you are using is new enough, you can check

The Xlogmaster
|
|
</H3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The Xlogmaster is a X11 program to allow comfortable and fast monitoring
|
|
of all logfiles and every device that allows its status being read by
|
|
cat (like the /proc devices).
|
|
<p>
|
|
It is a very useful tool for all programmers, system administrators,
|
|
control freaks or people who just like to know exactly what's going on
|
|
on their system. The program has been written under Linux but it
|
|
should also compile on other UN*X systems.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Changes include the button of the active entry stays in PRELIGHT color, the
|
|
Xlogmaster now uses real REGEX patterns, and the buttons can be hidden/shown
|
|
now via middle mouse button. Features include filters to raise/lower/hide
|
|
lines, filters to alert/notify/uniconify/execute on lines in logfiles (even
|
|
background ones), audio notification for alert/notify/uniconify, TAIL mode
|
|
(basically emulating a "tail -f file"), CAT mode (basically emulating a
|
|
"cat file" in reglar intervals), scrolling back in the logs with a scrollbar
|
|
(size of buffer adjustable by user), all defaults can be overridden by
|
|
commandline, completely menu driven, fully customizable.

GNU LilyPond - The Music Typesetter Version 1.0.0
|
|
</H3>
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<a href="http://www.cs.uu.no/~hanwen/lilypond/index.html">LilyPond</a> is

|
the GNU Project music typesetter. This program can print beautiful sheet
|
|
music from a music definition file. It can also play performances to a MIDI
|
|
file.
|
|
<p>
|
|
LilyPond now includes a completely new music font: the Feta font.
|
|
We were quite disappointed with available music fonts, so we rolled
|
|
our own. We did our best to copy the best symbol designs available,
|
|
and we think we've succeeded in doing so. We're proud of the
|
|
result and hope you agree, so go check it out!

FOX - a C++ based graphical user interface library (beta0.1.0)
|
|
</H3>
|
|
<P>
|
|
Date: Fri, 14 Aug 1998 12:38:02 GMT<BR>
|
|
FOX is a C++ based library for development of graphical user
|
|
interfaces. It supports XDND (drag and drop),
|
|
as well as a rich set of widgets ranging from Buttons to TreeLists and
|
|
Multiple Document Interface widgets.
|
|
Programs written with FOX are small, since in most cases only a single
|
|
line of C++ code is needed to create a
|
|
new widget.
