[comp.sys.next] NeXT archives updated for Release 1.0

gerrit@j.cc.purdue.edu (Gerrit Huizenga) (10/25/89)

I just finished cleaning up the NeXT archives on cc.purdue.edu a bit.
I've added a couple of new things, one of which is GNU bash 1.03 as
ported to the NeXT by Jacob Gore.  Another is a slightly newer version
of Tools with an autostart feature in the conf file.  (Xpostit style
support is next if I ever find the time).  Several ps/eps/tiff/pbm
converters were added.  I still need to add the archives of this group
for the past two months - look for that sometime early in November.
Also, there are some relevent notes on porting a couple of programs in
the docs directory.

I have a couple of submissions pending - one is a set of course materials
on the NeXT Music Kit, another is a set of classes to support graph
construction (i.e. vertices and edges), and maybe the latest copy of
the Lunar Lander program.

If you have something you would like to add to the archives, send it
to 'next-archive@cc.purdue.edu', or if it is too large, send a note to
that address and we can arrange another method of getting it put in
the archives.

I've enclosed the current INDEX file from the archive below which is
up to date for a change.
