[comp.sources.wanted] Looking for....

main(){printf("Hello World\n");}

I posted a request like this some time ago but got absolutely no response
whatever (but then our mail/news feed was a bit flaky at the time :-).

I'm looking for MetaFont sources for pseudo-Helvetica font (our organisation
uses rather a lot of it...). The Computer Modern Sans-serif family are fine
for most purposes but they don't have the same feel as Helvetica.

Any and all pointers (or sources!) gratefully received.

	Thanks in advance,

		Neil

jep@fantasci.UUCP (Joseph E Poplawski) (10/10/88)

I am looking for a program that for cataloging movies that I have on video tape.
This would be to keep track of over 800 movies that I have on tape.  The program
should be able to at least keep track of the following:

		name of movie
		lead actor/actress
		number of tape movie is on
		length of movie
		movie classification
		year of movie

Optionally, I would hope for these features:

		director	
		rating
		who tape was lent to and date of loan


I was thinking of writing something myself, but would rather not re-invent the
wheel, especially since I am not proficient at C (yet) and it would take me a
while to write...

Any suggestions on where such a beast can be obtained would be greatly
appreciated...

-Jo

1. I am contemplating writing a VMS 'help' look-alike. I have seen the
   'help' code in comp.sources.unix, but the authors took the easy way out
   by using the file system to provide the layered structure. (Slow, dirty,
   inefficient, wasteful of disk space.)

   The code should be in two parts:

	a) A program to 'compile' a VMS-style input text file into a single
	   data file with an index at the top giving byte offsets into the
	   file for FAST access.

	b) A help function that could be run from the shell or an interactive
	   program that reads the help library file and provides an interactive
	   user interface, just like the VMS one.

   If anyone out there has implemented such a beast, please let me know: I would
   like to avoid re-inventing the wheel. Otherwise, I guess I'll do it myself
   soon.

2. I am looking for the source code to the "protoize"/"unprotoize" program
   which constructs and deletes ANSI C prototype declarations from C source.

   I have used ftp to get the patch files (from ics.uci.edu), but the
   original source does not seem to be there.

   Does anyone have the source code, or could they point me in the right
   direction?

Thanks in advance,

(PLEASE reply to this message via E-MAIL ONLY, as I have cross-
posted this to a number of different groups and don't want to be
flamed for the rest of my natural existence and beyond.  In other
words, just DON'T FOLLOW-UP!)

I'm looking for a program that runs on the Sun SparcStations.  What it
does is let you write from a SparcStation floppy drive onto an MS-DOS
720K diskette.  I believe the name of the program is MTOOL (or
something like that).

If some kind sould could either point me to it at an anonymous FTP
site, or if somebody could E-Mail it to me, I would greatly appreciate
it.  Thanks a lot.
