Subject: lftp-2.2.0a - reliable command line driven ftp client
Date: Sat, 8 Apr 2000 11:41:15 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
News since last version (2.1.10):
* URLs are now handled in more places: `get URL1 -o URL2', `login URL',
`glob URL', `cat URL', `mget URL/*', etc. Setting xfer:use-urls is obsolete,
option -u is also obsolete but accepted for compatibility. Completion
also works on URLs. `login URL' can be used to cache password for further
URL usage.
* new settings xfer:eta-period and xfer:rate-period for calculation of eta
and current rate.
* ascii mode transfers - `get -a', `put -a' etc.
* new settings net:connection-limit and net:connection-takeover to limit
number of connections to the same site and allow take-over of background
connections being used to do foreground operations.
* new setting ftp:use-abor. (default: yes) If set to no, lftp does not send
ABOR command but closes data connection immediately.
* new settings net:reconnect-interval-multiplier and net:reconnect-interval-max,
reconnect-interval renamed to reconnect-interval-base. It is possible to
use short names, e.g. recon-int-b, recon-int-mul, recon-int-max.
* new setting ftp:list-options to append to every LIST command. E.g. it can
be useful for some sites to set it to `-a'. Default is empty.
* new setting ftp:rest-stor (default: yes) to avoid file corruption
on some old and buggy ftp servers after restarted upload.
* new setting net:no-proxy. It contains comma separated list of domains.
Environment variable no_proxy is copied to net:no-proxy on startup.
* `glob' command can now select files by type. By default wildcards are
expanded to list of plain files, option `-d' makes it expand to directories
and `-a' - to files and directories.
* Commands `get', `put', `mget' and `mput' now have an option `-O base'
which specifies base directory or URL to which the files should be placed.
* ftp to ftp (FXP) copying is now easy, e.g. `get ftp://... -o ftp://...' or
`put ftp://...'. The command `ftpcopy' is now obsolete.
New settings: ftp:use-fxp, ftp:fxp-passive-source. It does not work
for some servers, so use `set ftp:use-fxp no' for them. FXP is also tried
both ways - with passive and active source, if both fail it falls back to
simple copy.
* now lftp remembers that commands MDTM, SIZE or SITE CHMOD are not supported
by the server, and does not send them again.
* if password is entered on command line it is supposed to be insecure and is
printed on screen and entered into bookmarks automatically.
* slightly better VMS support.
* EPLF listing format is now understood. It is used by anonftpd
(e.g. ftp://vgsn.glasnet.ru).
* in globbing, if list restart is not used, don't skip list beginning but
rather use it instead of previously received.
* ftp and hftp URLs are now assumed to have home-relative path. To write
root-relative path in such URLs, use ftp://site/%2Fpath.
* new setting dns:use-fork. When true, lftp does fork before gethostbyname
(as in previous versions) to allow instant interrupting and asynchronousity.
(default is true)
* new setting cmd:default-protocol. The value is used when open is used
with just host name without protocol. Default is `ftp'.
* new setting ftp:port-range for active mode port range (useful for firewalls).
* mirror --use-cache to allow mirror to use directory listing cache.
* check file names in ftp listings for slashes, don't use file names with
slashes.
* ftp REST bug workaround - send REST 0 if last REST was >0.
* ftp server's 19100 in MDTM bug workaround.
* fixed completion and file name globbing for wu-ftpd-2.6.0. A long standing
bug with multiple path component globbing over ftp has also been fixed.
* fixed coredump on `command' with no arguments.

Subject: nuni-0.08 boot loader eliminates bios probs
Date: Sat, 8 Apr 2000 11:46:20 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
nuni-0.08 fixes a bug in nunimbr in the nuni-0.07 package.
nuni-0.07 added nunimbr to the package.
background:
There has been a legacy of booting problems due to the archaic nature of
the PC bios. Lilo 21.4 eliminates the relevance of cylinder 1024 for
perhaps 50% of the PC's that are in the hands of prospective linux
recruits. However, there are other snags associated with geometry, IDE +
SCSI, and uninstallation of linux. All these could result in magazine
reviews saying: "These 'linux' defects have been known for 5 or 6 years,
and you claim to fix things immediately; what gives?"
While no one utility does it all yet, nuni fills the gap in the case of
IDE drives on x86 hardware. This is claimed to be significant on the
grounds that the vast majority of potential new linux recruits will have
at least one IDE drive. For other cpu's it would be a trivial exercise
to re-code nuni (I only have x86 machines).
nuni:
nuni is a boot loader for Linux, using ext2 file system and IDE drives.
The reason for this particular loader is to avoid bios limitations by
not using the bios.
(1) Eliminates relevance of cylinder 1024
(2) Eliminates relevance of geometry
(3) Boots linux from any location up to 137gb
(4) Boots linux from any IDE drive (e.g. hda - hdk or higher)
(5) Boots linux from add-on IDE cards such as ATA66 cards.
(6) Not confused by presence of both IDE and SCSI drives.
nunmbr:
nunimbr is a small multi-boot selector for use in the mbr. Like nuni,
it does not use the bios, so any partition of any IDE drive can be
selected. It will execute a loader that resides in the boot sector of
any partition. Selection is by name of partition. You answer with names
like hda1 or hde11, and it executes whatever loader resides there. It
is self contained, so it could be carried to other computers on a floppy
and boot those machines with no setup or installation. Since it
occupies only one sector, there is no problem if linux is removed; it
will continue to boot Windows normally without the familiar 'LI'
problem.
availability:
nuni-0.08 is posted at:
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/boot/loaders/
lilo-21.4.1 is at:
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/boot/lilo/
Note: the reason for the low version numbers is that nuni is not
script-friendly yet. This started only as a proof-of-concept so that
other boot loaders might adopt this technique in cases where IDE drives
are sensed at install-time.
Neil.

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
The new version 1.6 of GramoFile is available at
http://panic.et.tudelft.nl/~costar/gramofile/
Note: this is a *** NEW HOMEPAGE *** PLEASE UPDATE BOOKMARKS/WEBPAGES ***
Important changes: processed signal can now be piped to any command
(e.g. MP3 encoders!); various fixes of bugs and portability issues.
GramoFile was originally designed to transfer the sound of gramophone
records to CDs, but it has shown itself to be very useful for many other
purposes.
Intended for use with Linux, but sound processing seems to work on many
other UXes too.
Features:
- Buffered sound recording to CD-quality .wav files with bargraph
signal peak-level meter.
- Playback of user-specifiable parts of sound files.
- Handles very large sound files up to a few GB.
- Processing of sound files to eliminate most ticks/scratches.
- Other kinds processing may be added quite easily.
- Splitting of long sound files in separate tracks (auto detection &
user editable).
- Signal processing and Track splitting in one single run, no temporary
files at all.
- Extensively documented.
- May be distributed/modified under the conditions of the GNU General
Public License.
Comments, suggestions, etc. to J.A.Bezemer@ITS.TUDelft.NL
Enjoy!

Subject: MemMXtest 2.0 - Test your SDRAMs
Date: Sat, 8 Apr 2000 11:44:37 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
MemMXtest is a computer program for "IBM-compatible" PCs, that checks the
computer's main memory for faults and defects. (Note however, that no
program can be guaranteed to detect all faults, due to their very nature.)
This program is aimed specifically at testing SDRAM memory modules
(`DIMMs'), and uses MMX instructions to read/write all 64 databits
provided by these modules at once. MemMXtest incorporates many well-known
`march' tests, as well as several pseudo-random tests. The vital parts of
each test use manually optimized machine code for maximal speed.
Features:
- Many well-known `march' tests, several pseudo-random-data tests.
- MMX instructions for accessing all 64 databits of DIMMs at once.
- Manually optimized machine code for maximal speed.
- Doesn't run under any Operating System -- it's an `OS' of its own.
- Intelligent caching control makes sure tested memory is not cached
while test code executes from cache.
- Can correct any address bit shufflings by the host bridge chipset
without noticable slowdown.
- Completely controllable via a serial line, ideal for industrial
applications.
- Complete with all source code; compiles on any i386 Linux[tm] system.
- Extensive documentation, for both usage and development.
- Modular structure which makes it easy to add new tests.

I just put on my website a mini-Howto that explains how to configure a
RedHat6.0-based linux box in order to handle japanese, either as
visualization and as input.
My Howto takes for his examples the Kondara Project RPMs
(www.kondara.org)
You will find the document at the following site:

Comments and contributions are welcome.
