YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: huntting@glarp.com
AVAILABILITY: The ISODE version 7.0 is P/D, bug quite huge.
8.0 is available from misc.glarp.com [128.138.240.101]
+ [ The isode 8.0 patches are now also available from bsdi.com.
+ in the directory /bsdi.sw/sw/gamma/app.patches. SMM ]
STATE OF PORT/CODE: The diff's were minimal. I would have to pull
the source off of backup tapes and run diff if anyone needs
them. The compiled installation (libraries, include files,

+ Software Package Name: InterNetwork News (INN)
+ Version: 1.2
+ Description: News Transport ala c-news
+ Your Name/E-mail: Owen Scott Medd <osm@msen.com>
+ Availability: ftp.msen.com:/pub/packages/inn/inn1.2-bsdi.tar.Z
+ State of Port/Code: stable/in production
+ Requires: bash for configuration scripts
+ Notes:
+ inncheck is not yet working (hopefully the combination of inn1.3
+ and the bsdi gamma release will help). You need memory to run
+ this and a stock bsdi system has the data segment max set too low;
+ either using some kind of unlimit program/patch or adding a
+ kernel directive will fix this.

! All of the following programs have been compiled and the sources and
! binaries have been uploaded in combined tar.Z files to bsdi.com.
! xfig.tar.Z
! An object-oriented drawing program (like MacDraw) for X windows.
! xco.tar.Z
! An X utility for choosing colors - displays colors with names.
! xtetris.tar.Z
! A version of TETRIS for X.
! xdu-1.1.tar.Z
! Very useful graphical display of the output of "du". Makes it easy to
! locate where all the space is being used.
! xgrasp.1.7d.tar.Z
! Plays animation files (usually with the extension .GL) compatible
! with the PC program GRASPRT.EXE. By Patrick Naughton.
! xcoloredit.tar.Z
! xcoloredit allows for graphical color mixing, by Richard Hesketh.
! gnuplot.tar.Z
! Simple but powerful graphics display program.
! xcalendar.tar.Z
! Simple calendar for X Windows. You can put notes on dates.
! xlock.tar.Z
! Screen locker, by Patrick J. Naughton. Nice.

! t1utils-1.1.tar.Z, available from ftp.cs.umb.edu in pub/misc, compiles
! just fine out of the box. t1utils is a set of utilities to manipulate
! Adobe Type 1 PostScript fonts. For instance, you can convert the .pfb
! (binary) files one often finds on ftp sites to .pfa (ASCII) files that
! you can download directly to your PostScript printer.

! Recently, Kenji Okamoto posted his diffs for Ingres89 to comp.unix.bsd.
! I applied those diffs, tweaked a couple of Makefiles and was able to get
! Ingres89 running remarkably well.
!
! I have sent two files to bsdi.com: ingres89.tar.Z and Ingres.diff.Z.
! ingres89.tar.Z is the original Berkeley ingres code with Kenji's diffs
! applied plus my makefile tweaks. Ingres.diff.Z consists of only Kenji's diffs.
! If you get ingres89.tar.Z, you do not need to pick up Ingres.diff.Z.
!
! I stuck both in the sw/gamma/progs directory. I did this for two reasons:
! 1) it was one of the only places I had write permission.
! 2) I have only tested this against gamma.
!
! Since Kenji's diffs were for 386BSD, I don't suppose beta should have any
! problem whatsoever. I added a README.bsdi file to ingres89.tar.Z which
! describes what the tar file consists of and tells you how I ported it.
! Basically, with the tar file, you should have to type make and very little
! else.
!
! It is impressive seeing a relational database running under BSD/386. Amaze
! your friends! Perhaps the BSDI people may want to think about packaging
! this in as standard software (or at least sticking it in an unsupported
! directory!)
!
! I've been using it for about a week and have found only 2 bugs (both minor).
! One is an Embedded QUEL/C bug and another is creating a secondary index with
! six columns (five works fine. Six SEGV's).
!
! Oh, yes, I am looking at postgres right now and have found really only two
! major problems: 1) Lack of shared memory (this can be fixed with those kernel
! hacks, I know). 2) Lack of System V Semaphores. If anyone has a good
! solution to this one, please let me know.
