WYSIWYM (What You See Is What You Mean). An open-source word processor that uses LaTeX to create complex documents. Miscellaneous: WYSIWYM (What You See Is What You Mean) Posted on Saturday, April 13, 2002 by Tom Mrak    An open-source word processor that uses LaTeX to create complex documents. Many of us have used a word processor at some point in our lives to write a letter or perhaps even to design a web page. Modern word processors, such as Microsoft Word, Sun's StarOffice and AbiWord, use the principle of WYSIWYG, what you see is what you get. This basically means that the way text appears on your screen is what the hard copy will look like. However, in the UNIX/Linux world there are many programs that don't work this way. One is called LyX (www.lyx.org), and it is an open-source document processor that encourages users to spend more time working on the structure of a document rather than focusing on its appearance.

The ability to install and remove Usermin modules and themes was added. It is now possible to control which users are allowed to login to Usermin. Blanking support was added to the CD Burner module.

Streaming RealAudio From a Commodore 64 Streaming RealAudio From a Commodore 64 Posted by timothy on Monday April 15, @02:31AM from the you'll-be-stone-dead-in-a-moment dept. An anonymous reader submits: "This just came in on comp.sys.cbm and I think it will be of general interest here at Slashdot as well. Two Commodore hackers, Adam Dunkels and Peter Eliasson, have built an Ethernet card for their C64 and have connected one to the Internet. But they aren't 'just' running a TCP/IP stack and a web server on it - they are also running a RealAudio server which streams audio from the C64's cassette player and apparently, it sounds awful! They have the full source code avaliable and pictures of the C64 server."  [Slashdot: News for nerds, stuff that matters] 11:04:36 AM
