LILO version 21 by Werner Almesberger has been updated to support booting
from disks > 1024 cylinders using a new 'lba32' option (-L new command line
switch). Version 21.5 now adds a menu-driven user interface to the Linux
boot process. Source code is available for download from:
ftp://brun.dyndns.org/pub/linux/lilo (developer's site)
Or from the main distribution site:
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/boot/lilo (please use)
The lilo-21.5 release builds upon the stability of 21.4.4, and adds new
code to support the boot menu. This release is fully backward compatible
with earlier releases.
See the distribution file 'CHANGES' for details of the differences between
21.4.4 and 21.5.

Hi !
Win a free apsfilter source version for an apsfilter logo ;-)
bullshit you say for true ... since apsfilter is free ;-)
o.k. lets get more serious now ... ;-)
I need somebody with the precious skill to make one or more
nice apsfilter logo(s) for me.
All I can give you is a big *thanks* and a place on a soon to come
apsfilter.org apsfilter homepage ... and you will be mentioned in
the apsfilter sources ...
Is there a kind soul, who could design such a Webserver button for me ?
That would be great !!! Everything is welcome, static and animated GIF.
And is there perhaps somebody, who could design an apsfilter startpage
which has a nice outfit ? I'm only good in ASCII ;-)
Thanks a lot to you all !

LinuxMagic: RELEASE OF THE NEW LINUXMAGIC VPN FIREWALLS
For home or small office use.
Now, a cheap and secure way to protect yourself, with ENCRYPTED tunnels to
allow you to share computers across the Internet securely.
(see our website www.linuxmagic.com)
Surrey, BC CANADA July 14/2000 -- Now it is possible to cheaply and securely
protect home and office from unwanted intrusions. Professionals can log into
their office computers from home, or connect two offices via the latest
Encryption Technologies, with the added bonus of a full-fledged firewall.
Using the power of the Linux ® Operating system, and it's tried and true
firewall technologies, LinuxMagic© has just released it’s LinuxMagic VPN
Firewall (Virtual Private Network) software.
With more and more people connected to the Internet 24 hours a day, they are
increasingly becoming a target. Cable, ISDN, ADSL and other high-speed
connections are even more appealing. On top of all this, it is estimated
that 97% of all home users have never applied a security patch to their
systems. Many people unknowingly leave their machines open to access from
the outside.
With built-in 128 Bit Encryption, IPSEC compatible VPN standards, and
LinuxMagic’s own NO-WRITE design, all the power and security of a high end
firewall is instantly available at an affordable price.
For special customized versions, LinuxMagic's own team of security experts
is available to completely test and configure it as well. Once in place,
the firewall and VPN system will protect for years to come without
attention. And if it is necessary to modify the security rules, it can be
done in a matter of minutes using any normal computer system with a simple
text editor. Restart the firewall, and the new configuration is in place.

Subject: Guru-nizing the printing of types in g++ error and warning messages
Date: Thu, 27 Jul 2000 11:59:28 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
A few months ago I've written a patch for g++ that changes
the way types are printed in error and warning messages.
Example:
The current
const.cc: In function `void foo (const T &) [with T = const volatile int *]':
becomes
const.cc: In function `void foo (T const&) [with T = int volatile const*]':
Basically it changes the following:
- - qualifiers are all put to the right side of what they work on
- - '*' and '&' are cuddled with the type they belong to.
Detailed information, reasoning and references etc. can be found on
http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/gcc/ (following links on that page).

Hello,
I proudly annonce the availability of the third public version of the
HP-HOWTO
This document may be read by everyone willing to obtain informations
on Linux and HP products. The first part is a general presentation
and gives informations linked to Linux and Free Software more generally.
The third chapter gives for every reference of HP product its support
under Linux.
It was realized in SGML/DocBook to allow the automatic creation of various
formats, among them :
HTML : http://www.medasys-digital-systems.fr/linux/HP-Howto/HP-HOWTO-EN
RTF : http://www.medasys-digital-systems.fr/linux/HP-Howto/HP-HOWTO-EN.rtf
PS : http://www.medasys-digital-systems.fr/linux/HP-Howto/HP-HOWTO-EN.ps
PDF : http://www.medasys-digital-systems.fr/linux/HP-Howto/HP-HOWTO-EN.pdf
TXT : http://www.medasys-digital-systems.fr/linux/HP-Howto/HP-HOWTO-EN.txt
This is the first translation in english, with no re-read by native
english speaking people, so ... :-) Help me to correct mistakes.
For those of you having a distribution supporting RPM packages,
you may install the PDF, TXT and HTML versions directly under
/usr/doc by using the following package :
RPM : http://www.medasys-digital-systems.fr/linux/HP-Howto/HP-HOWTO-EN-0.89-1.noarch.rpm
Don't hesitate to give comments on errors, missing points or
things to add. I surely have a lot to do in order to produce the 1.0
version :-)
Happy reading,
Bruno.
PS: Those wanting to help concerning my poor use of SGML are also welcome :-)

Subject: cc65 v2.5 - 6502 C crosscompiler
Date: Thu, 27 Jul 2000 12:01:39 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
I'm proud to announce version 2.5 of CC65, a C crosscompiler /
crossassembler combo for 6502 systems.
CC65 has C and runtime library support for many of the old 6502 machines.
The libraries are fairly portable, so creating a version for other 6502s
shouldn't be too much work.
Here is a list of the compiler features:
* Includes a C compiler, macro assembler, archiver, linker, GEOS
resource compiler and a frontend (compile & link) utility. The
assembler generates relocatable object files, the linker is very
configurable and allows overlays, ROMable code, split output and
much more.
* The compiler is not quite ISO compatible, however, a large subset
is supported.
* Supported target systems are:
- C64
- C128
- C16, C116, Plus/4
- CBM 600/700 family (programs run in bank 1)
- Newer PET machines (not 2001)
- The Apple ][ (thanks to Kevin Ruland <kevin@rodin.wustl.edu>)
- The Atari 8 bit machines
- GEOS for the C64 and C128
For all these systems a precompiled runtime and C library is
available. Supporting more targets is not very difficult since the C
library was written with portability in mind.
* Several system specific support routines like a conio library or
modules for joystick access are available.
* The assembler and linker do also support the 65816 as a target,
however, the compiler is not able to generate code for this CPU and
there is no RTL support.
* Lots of docs and a few sample programs included.
* Easy interfacing between C code and assembler.
* Fullscreen debugger for most machines as a linkable module.
* Full sourcecode available as well as binaries for
- Linux (several RedHat RPMs)
- DOS
- Windows 95/98/NT
What is new in this version:
* As usual many bugs fixed (and new ones introduced, so it does not get
boring:-).
* New -j switch to make the default character signed. New #pragma to do
the same.
* Slightly better code in some situations.
* A lot of new features for the assembler:
- Unnamed labels
- Several emulation features
- Listing support
- New builtin functions
- Include file search path support
* The linker generates an imports list in the map file.
* Completely rewritten symbol table handling for the compiler.
* Lots of code cleanups. One result of this is that the -T option does
now work without clobbering the output in some cases as it was
before.
* Much more code is now shared between the tools.
* Experimental 65C02 support for the compiler.
* Support for the Atari 8 bit machines was contributed by the Atari team:
Christian Groessler <cpg@aladdin.de>
Mark Keates <markk@dendrite.co.uk>
Freddy Offenga <F.Offenga@student.kun.nl>
David Lloyd <dmlloyd@atari-central.com>
* It is now possible to write GEOS programs for the C64 and C128 using
cc65, thanks to the GEOSLib library contributed by
Maciej Witkowiak (YTM/Elysium) <ytm@friko.onet.pl>
* Documentation updates.
* More minor changes.
Support for some features is still missing. To name a few:
* No floats, no bit fields.
* No file routines on most systems. The 8 bit Ataris are the first
machines that do have full file I/O support (besides the ACE port
which was dropped some time ago). Please note that the complete CBM
family doesn't have file I/O support!
* The 80 column mode on the C128 is not supported by the conio library.
More information:
For your convenience, I've put all doc files also on the web server:
http://www.von-bassewitz.de/uz/cc65/doc/
The cc65 main page
http://www.von-bassewitz.de/uz/cc65/
will get updated to reflect the new version in the next few days.
There is also a cc65 mailing list. To subscribe, send a mail to
majordomo@musoftware.de with the command
subscribe cc65
in the body of the mail.
Available packages:
As usual I will provide the complete sources and several binary packages.
There are some binary RPMs for different versions of RedHat Linux, which
is probably one of the fastest ways to get going. Since Linux is also my
development platform, new features and bug fixes are first available for
Linux.
Binaries for DOS and and Windows will follow or may already be available
at the time you read this. While the sources do still compile under OS/2,
I have dropped support for OS/2 binaries, since were almost no downloads
of the OS/2 version.
Download:

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
FlightGear version 0.7.4 is now available for download. The
FlightGear Flight Simulator project is a free, open-source flight
simulator project. Source code for the entire project is available
and licensed under the GPL.
There is a new 0.7.4 version of the base package that corresponds with
this new release. Everyone that upgrades will need to download this
as well. If you build FlightGear-0.7.4 from source, you will also
need to first download and install plib-1.2.0 and SimGear-0.0.12.
For more information on this project, please visit the Flight Gear web
page at:
http://www.flightgear.org
Version 0.7.4 adds nicer clouds, a first start at airport runways, and
quite a few tweaks, bug fixes, and refinements. Also, we did a
substantial amount of code clean up and reorganization that won't be
immediately visible from a user perspective.
Here is a more detailed list of changes.
* VOR reception now scales with altitude.
* Added differential braking support.
