Announcing Yet Another NeXTSTEP Programming Book From: alex@pencom.com (Alex Duong Nghiem) I'm getting ready to wrap up my NeXTSTEP book (which includes a fair amount of Objective-C code), and I have placed a tar file on sonata.cc.purdue.edu and cs.orst.edu under the submissions directory: the tar file (AlexNeXTSTEPBook.tar.Z) contains the table of contents and list of figures. The book will be published by Prentice-Hall and should be available before NeXTWorld on May 25-27. As for scope, the book is 500+ pages in the current format, although that may change when it's actually trimmed to fit the standard book size. BTW, the book will probably _not_ include a disk: the source code will be available via Internet and Usenet. I encourage you to download the file and check it out. If you need more info, please feel free to e-mail me directly: I'd be more than happy to answer any general questions, such as availability, coverage, etc. Best regards, Alex Duong Nghiem Phone: (512) 343-1111 Pencom Software Fax: (512) 343-9650 9050 Capital of TX Hwy N.

John was in charge of maintaining the software library for the group and found it was killing him. The users suggested that we put the over 1 gigabyte worth of software on a CD. So we did! This task was much more difficult than we had expected, but was extremely pleasureful because of all the great (and we really do mean this) people we got to know by making this product. We always thought that the NeXT community and its developers were wonderful people but doing this project has proven this to be fact. Please email us for further ordering information.

Winter 1993 release of NeXTanswers Now Available The Winter 1993 release of NeXTanswers is now available on the Internet archive servers. NeXTanswers is a collection of answers to commonly asked technical questions about the NeXT Computer System. The topics covered include system administration, programming, and NeXT applications and should be indexed for use with Digital Librarian. NeXTanswers can be obtained three ways: by ftp from an archive server, by email from Purdue, or as a subscription on floppy disk from NeXT (call 1-800-484-NeXT for information). You'll want the latest release (in this case referred to by the 93_winter prefix). You can obtain NeXTanswers via anonymous ftp from one of the following Internet archive servers (it may be found on others as well): ________________________________________________________ hostname IP address directory ________________________________________________________ sonata.cc.purdue.edu 128.210.15.30 pub/next/docs/NeXT cs.orst.edu 128.193.32.1 pub/next/documents/NeXTanswers Note that at the time of this posting, NeXTanswers may still be in each archive server's submissions directory. The NeXTanswers release is also available by email from the Purdue archive server, for those without ftp access. Send a message consisting of "help" to archive-server@cc.purdue.edu. If the "From:" line in your message header will not be in Internet format (e.g. name@site.edu), include a line like path name@site.edu or path wellknownsite!yoursite!yourname@uunet.uu.net Note that name@site.bitnet or name@site.UUCP won't work. There are two versions of NeXTanswers: a complete set, and a monthly supplement for those who already have the previous month's complete set. The complete set is called 93_winter_NeXTanswers.tar.Z and occupies 664 Kb of disk space. The supplement is called 93_winter_NeXTanswers_Supplement.tar.Z, occupies 82 Kb, and contains files that are new or changed since the Fall 1992 release. When the Winter 1993 release is installed and indexed, it occupies about 2.41 Mb. Each release also includes instructions on how to install and use NeXTanswers. The documentation (INSTALL.rtf, README.rtf, and CHANGES) is included in a separate file called 93_winter_NeXTanswers_docs.tar.Z. ____________________________________________________________________ => 45. NeXTSTEP Information Management Applications on the Internet If you are in the internet, you have to try these public domain applications! Here are a few Internet Applications that are available for the NeXTSTEP environment among others. These tools can be used by anyone on the internet to help you better manage information. If you know of other available tools or applications in progress, please drop me a message. thanks, Conrad_Geiger@next.com. >From David Spitzler: Archie.app The School of Computer Science at McGill University developed a server that enables users to locate programs, documents, etc. on the Internet (more than 300,000 machines). More than 1000 sites are archive servers. To simplify the task of locating files, McGill wrote software that lists and updates all files at archive sites. It proved so popular that McGill now makes the service available to anyone on the Internet. McGill calls its server Archie, the "server's server." Archie allows users to search for specific program names or strings and find which server contains the program, or to list all the software on the server at a particular site. GatorFTP+ A full featured, graphical front-end to the FTP protocol. Commonly used FTP sites can be selected from an on-screen scroll view, and connection to a remote site is made by the click of a button. GatorFTP+ displays remote directories in a NeXT-style browser and allows multiple "puts" and "gets". There is also an automatic "uncompress" and "untar" feature. Gopher.app The internet Gopher uses a simple client/server protocol that can be used to publish and search for information held on a distributed network of hosts. Gopher clients have a seamless view of the information in the gopher world even though the information is distributed over many different hosts. Clients can either navigate through a heirarchy of directories and documents or ask an index server to return a list of all documents that contain one or more words. Since the index server does full-text searches every word in every document is a keyword. The NeXT-Gopher client is now being maintained at Michigan State University. The Gopher release (available via FTP at boombox.micro.umn.edu) also bundles and app called Ph which gives you access to directory information at many universities. It is used to obtain traditional phone book information. More importantly, for e-mail users, it provides access to e-mail addresses. Some Universities provide other data, such as information about courses, restaurants, and weather. Ph is a client program. It communicates with a server program, written by the Computing Services Office (CSO) at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. LibraryOfCongress.app This is an interface to an Internet service for searching the Library of Congress card catalog. You can find items in the catalog and then e-mail orders to on-line bookstores to "check them out." This app was written by Mike Hawley, of the MIT Media Lab. Tree.app Also known as "Gopher in a Forest," this is a graphical look at "gopherspace," this app, although totally useless as an information access tool, is a nice virtual reality demo. Every gopher site worldwide can be visualized as a tree, with "wires" connecting the branches of different sites. WAIS WAIS stands for Wide Area Information Servers and is a protocol between clients and servers for accessing and retrieving information. A NeXT client called WASItation allows you to tap into a variety of databases around the world. You can also use WAIStation to create your own databases. Originally conceived for commercial purposes for distributing for-profit information (i.e Dow Jones), this is a public domain package that is used widely in education for accessing many WAIS and Gopher servers. Weather.app An interface to weather information, primarily via the Weather Underground at the University of Michigan College of Engineering, Atmospheric, Oceanic, and Space Sciences (downwind.sprl.umich.edu). Sources include Zephyr Weather Information, National Weather Service forecasts for US cities and regions, ski reports, Environment Canada weather information, severe weather logs from the National Severe Storms Forecast Center, and earthquake reports from the U.S. Geological Survey. The interface also fetches weather maps and taps other material from the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder (ncar.ucar.edu), the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (vmd.cso.uiuc.edu), labs at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (everest.lcs.mit.edu, synoptic.mit.edu), the Solar Terrestrial Dispatch (xi.uleth.ca), the University of Washington (geophys.washington.edu), and Contel (duats.contel.com) which provides FAA flight planning and weather information. This app was written by Mike Hawley of the MIT Media Lab. ____________________________________________________________________ => 46.

The range of material presented (object oriented programming, NeXT development tools and standard objects, threads, basic PostScript, event handling, defaults database access, etc.) is extensive. They make no claims of comprehensiveness, but sufficient material is given to enable a meaningful foray into all of these areas. More importantly, everything is presented in the most meaningful context possible: development of full-blown applications. Their example applications are well chosen both in terms of being relevant and interesting to a wide audience as well as providing an appropriate setting for applying all of the tools which they present. The difficulty and complexity of the examples progresses fairly smoothly so that the numerous hurdles of understanding which must be overcome seem relatively tractable at the time when they are reached. The book was written with obvious care and contains surprisingly few typos. Source code is provided on an accompanying disk and, with very few exceptions, it works as expected. The examples presented essentially provide just the sort of annotated templates that a newcomer needs to begin fashioning his or her own apps. All in all, I enjoyed reading Step One; I learned a lot from it; and I strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn about NeXTSTEP programming.

Announcing VVI Services For Immediate Release: Contact: e-mail: support@vvi.com voice: 814-234-9613 FAX : 814-234-9614 VVI, a development company specializing in NeXTSTEP products, introduces services and products, available now, for NeXTSTEP developers to market, license, and distribute their NeXTSTEP applications. Imagine the future of marketing and sales: A user launches the marketing program and reads about a whole host of applications and resources. The description of a particular application is interesting and they want a copy! They get it at the click of a button. A few minutes later the user is demo'ing it, they like it - it's what they need! With some fill in the blanks and a click of the button they are registered for a commercial version of the application, with password in hand! The user has immediate access to the applications they need and the developer has immediate access to their market! Everybody wins! But, not only is this the future, IT'S THE PRESENT! It's happening as you read! The software and service to do this have been rigorously tested and are used now for products distributed by VVI. This is what VVI provides: Distribution Application - A network oriented distribution and marketing application called VVdistributor. Clients can distribute and use the developer's applications at the click of a button! The documentation includes brochure templates for integration into this application. This application, when appropriate, will differentiate between host type and other client environment factors so distribution to different machines is always easy, efficient and transparent to the user. Licensing Object Library - A software marketing library which consists of ready-made Objective-C Objects for registration, licensing, protection, demonstration mode, and distribution. This represents a time saving resource which would take the equivalent of another application to develop. Done in the true spirit of object oriented programming! A High Speed Network Server - The developer's market gets immediate access to their latest products through our dedicated network server. There is no need for costly duplication of floppies, CD's, or mass mailings. Since products are immediately retrievable with no version limitations the developer can respond quickly and appropriately to any operating system updates, computer platform changes, or code additions. Billing and Registration - VVI provides billing and registration service. Users click their buttons and we click ours! We have developed internal applications with nice NeXTSTEP user interfaces for the registration process. These services and products are particularly apropos in the light of developments regarding platform changes and operating system upgrades. Once applications are integrated into this marketing and distribution system developers can respond quickly to any changes. Imagine what it will be like to have this capability during the 3.0 to 486 (and other(s)) transition! This is a comprehensive network-marketing system with no stone unturned! It's a WIN WIN situation! Developers win, the users win! To find out how to win contact VVI at: e-mail: support@vvi.com voice: 814-234-9613 FAX : 814-234-9614 VVimaging, Inc.
