tass-3.2.tar.Z - Package description:
Here is a new version of my Tass newsreader. This version has many
bug fixes and improvements, including NNTP support. Here is the list
of changes from the README:
o Index files are now 1/2 to 1/3 their previous size
o Tass is much more conservative in its memory usage
o Tass recognizes .signature and .Sig files
o Screen updating is more efficient in many places
o Job control fixed for BSD systems
o The various mailing commands work better
o Author search
o Support for NNTP (rtass)
o Many other enhancements
If you haven't seen Tass before, it's a threaded visual newsreader with
an index page which may remind you of Notes.

uSystem-4.3.3.tar.Z - Package description:
Bug Fix ... I would like to announce, to any interested parties, the
availability of Version 4.3.3 of the uSystem (pronounced micro-system), a
library of C routines that provide light-weight concurrency on
uniprocessor and multiprocessor computers running the UNIX operating
system. Fix:
We had made major changes to the stream and file I/O routines
in Version 4.3.2 and we just found a nasty bug in the socket code:
sockets were blocking prematurely preventing concurrency. Since the
next release of the uSystem will be in late summer, we wanted to get
this fix out now. The uSystem runs on the following processors:
M68000 series, NS32000 series, VAX, MIPS, Intel 386, Sparc, and the
following UNIX operating systems:
- generic BSD 4.{2,3}
- UNIX System V that has BSD system calls "setitimer" and a
"sigcontext" passed to signal handlers which contains the location
of the interrupted program
- Apollo SR10 BSD
- Sun OS 4.0
- Tahoe BSD 4.3
- Ultrix 3.0/4.0
- DYNIX
- Umax 4.3
- IRIX 3.3
The uSystem requires at least GNU C 1.37.1. For the
Encore and Sequent Balance, GNU C version 1.37.1 must be patched
with the supplied patches. The uSystem will NOT compile using
other compilers. (Don't even think about it!)
