::: A R T I C L E S (1) :::
Linux Needs Java, and Vice Versa
by Marc Boorshtein (mailto:mboorshteinyahoo.com)
Section: Editorials
Wednesday, July 11th 2001 00:00
In October, I wrote an editorial on why VB should not be brought to Linux.
One of the key points I touched upon was that VB's strengths lie in its IDE
and its ties to ADO, MTS, and now .NET. I said that good replacements for
VB were Python and Java. Now I would like to delve deeper into the
importance of Java on Linux, and the importance of Linux to Java.

[001] - 6's Spiffy AudioGalaxy Query Tool 0.4 (Default)
by 6 (http://freshmeat.net/users/num6/)
Wednesday, July 11th 2001 23:27
6's Spiffy AudioGalaxy Query Tool is a package that automates queries to
the AudioGalaxy music sharing system. It enables you to queue any song
(at a minimum configurable bitrate) with one command line, even if the
AudioGalaxy site is busy or unresponsive. It will also allow you to queue
most full albums with one command line, by going on AllMusic.Com to look
up the song list, and queueing up each of the songs listed.
Changes: A bunch of small additions that were requested by several users.

[009] - Catalog 1.03 (Default)
by Loic Dachary (http://freshmeat.net/users/loic/)
Wednesday, July 11th 2001 14:16
Catalog allows to build and maintain Yahoo! style catalogs. It includes a
browsing interface and an easy to use template system for customization of
the HTML pages. It is fully documented and distributed under the GNU
General Public Licence. Catalog is also included in CPAN.
Changes: Symbolic links now have a name instead of borrowing the name of
the category to which they point. convert_dmoz handles UTF-8 dumps (the
whole procedure is simplified). New methods (treecbrowse and treecedit)
have been added that display the whole tree structure for people who have
catalogs that can fit on a single page. Ther are some bugfixes and sqledit
enhancements. GIF files have been translated to PNG. The problem with
displaying ISO-8859-1 accented chars in category names has been fixed.

[011] - Check 0.7.0 (Default)
by Arien Malec (http://freshmeat.net/users/amalec/)
Wednesday, July 11th 2001 18:13
Check is a unit test framework for C. It features a simple interface for
defining unit tests, putting little in the way of the developer. Tests are
run in a separate address space, so Check can catch both assertion failures
and code errors that cause segmentation faults or other signals. The output
from unit tests can be used within source code editors and IDEs.
Changes: Includes a primitive logging function, the ability for an SRunner
to run multiple suites, and the magic to allow Check to be used with C++.

[012] - cstream 2.2 (Default)
by Martin Cracauer (http://freshmeat.net/users/cracauer/)
Wednesday, July 11th 2001 18:25
cstream is a general-purpose stream-handling tool like UNIX dd, usually
used in commandline-constructed pipes. Features include sane commandline
switch syntax, exact throughput limiting on the incoming side, precise
throughput reporting, SIGUSR1 causes a throughput report before
end-of-file, built-in support to write its PID to a file, built-in support
for fifos, and built-in data creation and sink.
Changes: In/Outfile can now be a TCP socket (connect or listen), or an
Opensound-compatible audio device to play CD-format files. This release
properly supports 64-bit files in Linux/glibc. A tee-to-fd mode has been
added to send a copy of the stream to file descriptor 3. This can be used
in shell scripts to avoid the need to create a temporary file when you want
to filter a stream twice. Instead, copy it and redirect through subshells.

[018] - FLASH Code 1.61.p1 (Stable)
by FLASH Code Team (http://freshmeat.net/users/ljdursi/)
Wednesday, July 11th 2001 12:08
The FLASH code is a modular, adaptive, parallel simulation code capable of
handling general compressible flow problems in astrophysical environments.
It has been designed to allow users to configure initial and boundary
conditions, change algorithms, and add new physical effects with minimal
effort. It uses the PARAMESH library to manage a block-structured adaptive
grid, placing resolution elements only where they are needed most. It uses
the Message-Passing Interface (MPI) library to achieve portability and
scalability on a variety of different message-passing parallel computers.
Changes: This patch fixes several bugs, and contains no new features.
Numerous questions were added to the FAQ.

[019] - Forms for Metadot Web Portal 0.1.2.0 (Default)
by projects (http://freshmeat.net/users/mirth/)
Wednesday, July 11th 2001 11:59
Forms for Metadot Web Portal is a web based forms package for the metadot
portal. From your browser you can define a form with checkboxes, radio
buttons, etc. Validate minimum length, max size, or against a regexp,
attach "help" to field, and usual forms package type stuff. Users can then
use the web to enter data according to your forms. It works within the
metadot portal environment (nice, flexible portal - gpl mod_perl mysql).
Changes: A new field, called Widgets:colour was added. Many to one
relations are now supported. New field attributes were added.

by imipak (http://freshmeat.net/users/imipak/)
Wednesday, July 11th 2001 16:16
The FOLK project aims to provide a single patch which incorporates as many
Linux kernel projects as can be crammed in. Its goal is to allow people who
are interested in experimenting with the different projects to get on with
the experimenting, rather than spend time fixing clashing diffs. It also
has the goal of giving some of the more obscure projects a better chance of
being seen and used. It is not intended for "general use". If a given
release is stable, that will be by sheer luck. These are experimental
projects, of unknown quality and completeness, being thrown together in
ways that the developers are unlikely to have even remotely considered.
Changes: JFS and XFS have been updated. MOSIX, Multiple Root Patch, and
OneSigPerFD patch have been added. This is the first round of Real-Time
Scheduler bugfixes.

by Ales Hvezda (http://freshmeat.net/users/ahvezda/)
Wednesday, July 11th 2001 23:51
gEDA is a GPLed toolset to aid electronic design. Currently it consists of
a schematic capture program, a netlist generator, a symbol checker, and a
bunch of utilities. The initial goals are to satisfy the electronic
hobbyist needs, but the usefulness of gEDA does not have stop there. gEDA
has the future potential to be used for serious EDA work.
Changes: Major changes include a CVS reorganization, using noweb for the
source code and programmer docs, a symbol library reorganization, a bunch
of bugfixes, a bunch of smaller new features, and dynamic menus (with
hotkeys) in gschem.

GNU TeXmacs is a free WYSIWYG scientific text editor which was inspired by
both TeX and GNU Emacs. It is also possible to use TeXmacs as an interface
to computer algebra systems. The program implements high-quality
typesetting using TeX fonts, but it is also provides a user-friendly
interface. Finally, TeXmacs supports the Guile/Scheme extension language,
which makes it possible to adapt the user interface to specific needs and
even to extend the editor.

Wednesday, July 11th 2001 16:23
Gwenview is a simple image viewer for KDE 2.0. Image loading is done by the
Qt library (so it supports all image formats your Qt installation
supports). It features a folder tree window and a file list and thumbnail
window to provide easy navigation in your file hierarchy and uses docked
windows, allowing you to alter the layout in any way you want.
Changes: A zoom in/out feature, "move" in file operations, a status bar
displaying folder and file information, and Opera-like previous-next mouse
navigation have all been added. You can now scroll the image by dragging
it. There are some other bugfixes. Thumbnail generation is now
non-blocking.

[028] - Hero Wars 20010710 (Main)
by Charles Corrigan (http://freshmeat.net/users/CharlesCorrigan/)
Wednesday, July 11th 2001 12:17
Hero Wars implements the core rules of Issaries Inc.'s RPG System. It
supports the creation and storage of character sheets (including keywords)
and has rudimentary support for networked play. It requires one person to
be a narrator/game master and one or more players.
Changes: Drag and drop support on the character sheet window was cleaned
up. Truncation of results text in the contest window is now prevented.
Results text when switching between contest types was fixed. The
enabling/disabling of run/confirm/cancel/switch buttons was fixed. The
enhancement types for follower and passion spirit were fixed. The "Send to
Contest" action on character sheet ability was fixed. Some layout issues on
Mac OS X were fixed. A shutdown-hook was added to ensure that the user is
prompted to save open modified files. A problem with closing a modified
hero sheet opened from a URL was fixed. When the bid or enhancement size
are not acceptable, the "run contest" button is now disabled and the cursor
is moved to the problematic field. Other enhancement contest bugs were
fixed. Edit access to the actor and oppostion rating modifier fields in the
contest window is now allowed. Onscreen character sheets now show
Gloranthan icons rather than the default Swing icons. The display of the
contest window in 800x600 was improved.

[029] - HTML::Embperl 2.0b3 (Development)
by Gerald Richter (http://freshmeat.net/users/richterg/)
Wednesday, July 11th 2001 03:53
HTML::Embperl gives you the power to embed Perl code in your HTML documents
and the ability to build your Web site out of small reusable objects in a
OO-style. You can also take advantage of hundreds of Perl modules which
have already been written for such tasks as database access to a growing
number of database systems. Embperl has several features especially useful
for creating HTML, including dynamic tables, formfield-processing,
escaping/unescaping, session handling, and more. Embperl is a server-side

[041] - mifluz 0.22 (Default)
by Loic Dachary (http://freshmeat.net/users/loic/)
Wednesday, July 11th 2001 19:32
The purpose of mifluz is to provide a C++ library to build and query a full
text inverted index. It is dynamically updatable, scalable (up to 1Tb
indexes), uses a controlled amount of memory, shares index files and memory
cache among processes or threads and compresses index files to 50% of the
raw data. The structure of the index is configurable at runtime and allows
inclusion of relevance ranking information. The query functions do not
require to load all the occurences of a searched term. They consume very
few resources and many searches can be run in parallel.
Changes: Implementation of a result cache for mifluzsearch, a fix for a
mifluzsearch bug that prevented searching indexes where the document did
not start immediately after the word, a fix for a mifluzsearch bug that
ignored mandatory words that do not exist in the index, synchronization
with unac 1.4.0, and removal of obsolete benchmark results.

Changes: Some data integrity enhancements were made around a global lock to
the SQL engine between mmsmtpd and mmpop3d. Moreover, the daemons will no
longer send back strings to the client under bad command circumstances.

sequence predictability characteristics, sunRPC scanning, reverse-identd
scanning, and more. Console and X-Window versions are available.
Changes: Idlescan (IPID blind scan) has been added. The usage syntax is
"-sI ". A bunch of fingerprints that were corrupt due to violations of
the fingerprint syntax/grammar, a command line option parsing bug, and an
OS fingerprinting bug that caused many extra packets to be sent if you
request a lot of decoys have been fixed. Some debug code has been added to
help diagnose the "Unknown datalink type" error. If Nmap is giving you
this error, please send the following info to fyodorinsecure.org : 1)
The full output from Nmap (including the command arguments) 2) What OS and
OS version are you using 3) What type of adaptor are you using (modem,
ethernet, FDDI, etc). A bunch of IDS sensor/console/agent port numbers
have been added.

Wednesday, July 11th 2001 07:01
oSIP implements the Session Initiatiation Protocol (published by IETF as
RFC 2543). oSIP can provide signalling capabilities for IP phones. The
library provides a fully usable but not complete parser for the SIP
syntax (To, Via, From, CSeq, Contact, Call- ID). It also provides a
transactional interface which completely hides the retransmission
mechanism, reordering of request, UDP access, and other SIP transactional
features.
Changes: This release includes minor bugfixes, and new documentation. In
addition, this version is usable on Solaris, and could be used on other
Unix systems, however the oSIP stack does not seem to be currently usable
on Debian distributions for servers.

[060] - shellsupport 2.0beta (Default)
by Martin Cracauer (http://freshmeat.net/users/cracauer/)
Wednesday, July 11th 2001 18:23
shellsupport supports (bourne) shell scripting. It is a command line C
program that provides those features that are lacking when writing portable
shell scripts, because they are not covered by other portable (Posix
1003.2) tools. Amoung them are conversion routines from many ASCII date
representation formats to seconds since the epoch and vice versa, file
padding and wiping, symlink target display, random numbers, and counting.
Changes: This version comes with its own implementation of strptime (to
parse ASCII representation of time), derived from FreeBSD's implementation.
This should finally enable Linux/glibc users to parse the output of
date(1). Solaris users might find this useful as well. This will only work
for the C locale; national representations of date/time are no longer
supported. 2.0 also adds wiping of files (overwrite with zeros) and more
date formats to parse and display.

your favorite parts of a big volume of raw audio (44.1 kHz 2 channel signed
16 bit little endian by default) in raw, cdr, or wav format. If you have a
favorite radio show that plays hard-to-find things at a time when your boss
insists you should be at work, you can record it, then come home later and
save your favorite parts.
Changes: A new option to let you associate a time of day with the beginning
of a volume so you can jump to times of day as well as second offsets, flac
export works if you have the flac encoder, a new ability for the ff, rw,
jump, and browse commands to take arguments containing some units (e.g., f

[066] - SpiralSynthModular 0.0.2 (Default)
by davedredz (http://freshmeat.net/users/davedredz/)
Wednesday, July 11th 2001 14:12
SpiralSynth Modular (SSM) is a fully-featured, modular soft-synth. You can
build your own synth designs from module plugins. It can be used to mix
together tracks constructed with samples and synth patches (sequenced via
MIDI, or built-in sequencer plugins). Create your own pipeline of control
voltages (CVs) and audio data to design your own sounds with huge
flexibility. SSM makes no distinction between how you use the data; any
output can be plugged into any input, and an oscillator may be used to
generate audio data or to modulate the cutoff of a filter as CV data.

[069] - Synopsis 0.4 (Default)
by Stefan Seefeld (http://freshmeat.net/users/stefans/)
Wednesday, July 11th 2001 16:20
Synopsis is a source code documentation tool that follows a modular
architecture to adapt to different languages, comment styles, and output
formats. It provides parsers for IDL, C++, and Python, and a number of
formatter modules. It has the ability to scale to large projects and to
integrate well with Makefiles to only update documentation for changed
files. One of the goals of Synopsis is to integrate the documentation
between different languages, for example linking implementations in any
language with their CORBA interfaces and vice versa. The main code is
written in Python, the C++ parser is a module based on OpenC++, and the IDL
parser is a module based on the omniidl tool.
Changes: This release contains lots of bugfixes, more formatters (notably
TexInfo), and a much enhanced HTML formatter.

[074] - tsocks 1.7 (Stable)
by Delius (http://freshmeat.net/users/delius/)
Wednesday, July 11th 2001 06:53
tsocks provides transparent network access through a SOCKS version 4 or 5
proxy (usually on a firewall). tsocks intercepts the calls applications
make to create TCP connections and determines if they can be directly
accessed or need the SOCKS server. If they need the SOCKS server they
connection is negotiated with the server transparently to the application.
This allows existing applications to use SOCKS without recompilation or
modification. tsocks is a wrapper library for the libc connect() call.
Changes: This release includes Red Hat 7.x support, greatly advanced
configuration options, various performance improvements, and a lot of other
changes.

[077] - Visual Molecular Dynamics 1.7b1 (Default)
by VMD (http://freshmeat.net/users/vmd/)
Wednesday, July 11th 2001 14:24
VMD (Visual Molecular Dynamics) is designed for the visualization and
analysis of biological systems such as proteins, nucleic acids, lipid
bilayer assemblies, etc. It may be used to view more general molecules, as
VMD can read standard Protein Data Bank (PDB) files and display the
contained structure. VMD provides a wide variety of methods for rendering
and coloring a molecule: simple points and lines, CPK spheres and
cylinders, licorice bonds, backbone tubes and ribbons, cartoon drawings,
and others. VMD can be used to animate and analyze the trajectory of a
molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. In particular, VMD can act as a
graphical front end for an external MD program by displaying and animating
a molecule undergoing simulation on a remote computer.
Changes: This release contains a new sequence browser, a Ramachandran
plotting tool, support for Joysticks and Spaceball input devices, support
for OpenGL ARB multisample antialiasing extensions, POV-Ray orthographic
display support, greatly improved atom selection speed, elimination of some
long standing memory leaks in complex atom selections, and Mesa builds now
use simpler coordinate axes for improved speed.
