Just to let everyone know that there is some new stuff on the cs.orst.edu archives (and soon to migrate to the others). Eyecon: "one of those absolutely necessary applications" If you are familiar with xeyes under X windows, then you will love Eyecon. It displays two eyes in the application icon and the eyeballs follow the cursor around the screen. Find it in /pub/next/sources. CharFind 1.0: An update to an earlier version. This is a binary file (no source included) so you can find it in /pub/next/binaries. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bryce Jasmer jasmerb@cs.orst.edu ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Could the archive keepers please create a new directory, called say 2.0, in which stuff that runs under 2.0, lives? Some of this may just be links to old other software, but it would help a lot of users to not download software that then crashes the computer. Incidentally, has someone put together a list of the minimum files that are necessary to boot from, and start restoring? Since I intend to sell my OD and buy a DAT drive for backup, I need to know how to restore the system harddisk if that is what crashes. /ivo welch ivo@next.agsm.ucla.edu

I know I can get the 0ls-lR file and grep it for the current or yesterday's date, but when you don't check for a week or so, this can become tedious. It wasn't as bad when the INDEX files weren't updated each night: you could tell by the dates on the directories if there were any new files but no more. This is not intended as a flame, just a polite request. I certainly can live if it can't be done.
