1. ANNOUNCE: Solaris Free or Public Domain Software Web Pages

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Solaris Free or Public Domain Software Porting Project Web Pages
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Solaris Users:

A few months ago I posted a note to this group announcing a project to
help Solaris users find public domain or free software ported to
Solaris 2.3 or 2.4.  I received a huge response from people who have
done a lot of work on porting and have anonymous ftp sites where
software can be found.

We are now ready to announce the availability of our Web pages for
testing and constructive comments.  We also are asking for more help
with locating software, testing ports, and providing anonymous ftp
access.

Our Web pages provide a search engine to help locate programs
and pointers to sites with Solaris ports.

There are two Web page sites for now:

http://christensen.cybernetics.net/solaris.html

(which probably should be used only for the non-graphics
versions of the pages) or

http://www.mbp.duke.edu/

(Duke's site mirrors mine and provides a faster access for
the pages containing graphics.)

Our pages will be upgraded and updated constantly as we receive more
information and comments.

As a reminder, Sun has a web page dedicated to helping you migrate to
Solaris 2.  The URL is http://www.sun.com/smcc/solaris-migration.  This
page contains tools, documentation, presentations, and whitepapers
related to Solaris 2 and the migration process.

A number of universities and others are involved in the project
and their contributions will come on-line soon.

Thanks go to Joel Conklin and the Solaris-Migration Team and Education
Groups at Sun for their significant help with this project.  Michael
Prisant at Duke has provided enthusiastic and expert support.  I am
grateful to Yuki Shinozaki at Duke and Bryant Durrell at Sun for
their programming on the search engine.  The software sites have been
highly generous to open their systems for anonymous ftp access.

Please read the "How You Can Help" Web page linked to the above pages.

Thank you.

Steve Christensen
