The Random Factory is pleased to announce the availability of CD-R
format
CDROM's containing the latest 'Mozilla' source distributions (and much
more).
The CDROM is in ISO9660 format with Rock-Ridge extensions.
Included on the CDROM are
mozilla release 1 - untouched source archives for Mac, Windows, Unix
mozilla release 2 - untouched source archives for Mac, Windows, Unix
Qtscape - FE Source tree and pre-built executable for Linux
Pre-built source trees - Linux release 1 (19980331) (gzipped and
tarred),
Linux release 2 (19980408)
Extras :
tcl8.0 - archive + unpacked and built tree for Linux
zip archive for Windows
(tcl is a multiplatform scripting language)
tk8.0 - archive + unpacked and built tree for Linux
zip archive for Windows
(tk is a multiplatform GUI toolkit)
python-1.5 - archive + unpacked and built tree for Linux
zip archives for Windows
(python is a multiplatform OO language)
lesstif-0.83 - archive + unpacked and built tree for Linux
(lesstif is a free Motif clone)
vnc - source + Linux, Java, and Windows clients
(vnc is a platform indepedent client/server
package for displaying X-windows and Win/NT
desktops on other machines over the network).
By including these packages we hope to stimulate efforts to integrate
their capabilities into Mozilla so that extensions can be written
in these languages (tcl/tk, python), and so that Mozilla can be used
as a front-end to control other systems over the network (vnc).
If you have any suggestions for other useful packages please email
us details (rfactory@earthlink.net) and we will try to include them
(Please supply the location of an ftp site where the package can be
found).
The pre-built source trees are completely unpacked so that you can
browse
them directly on the CDROM. All generated object files and libraries
have been left in place.
A Linux RedHat 4.2 sytem was used for the builds, and Moo-Tiff (Motif
2.0 compatible)
was used to link the Linux Mozilla executables.
Each CD-R is written AFTER the order is received and the contents
are based on the latest code available. The current contents will always
be listed on the web at
http://www.dev-com.com/~rfactory/mozcdr-lslr.gz
We verify that each CDROM can be read on a different drive/machine
from the one used to write it. In the unlikely event that you get a dud,
send it back and we will replace it.
Only quality CD-R's are used, and each is shipped in its
jewel case, inside a bubble-wrap shipping envelope.
Price - $25 incl shipping and handling (contiguous united states)
- $30 incl shipping and handling (overseas)
Payment by US dollar cheque or International money order.
Make cheques payable to "The Random Factory".
No credit cards (sorry), but you can pay by 'First Virtual'
if you send us your First Virtual ID (http://www.fv.com/).
Order by email (First Virtual customers only), or by post to
