Changes to the NetBSD Packages Collection in September 1999
===========================================================

I continue to be amazed, and very thankful for, the amount of work
that is put into the packages collection by many people - a large
"thank you" to you all from me.

Packages added to the collection include:  abiword-personal,
cdrecord-current, choparp, exim, gensolpkg, gnome-audio, htdig,
intlfonts, some Japanese vector font-based packages, kdbg, kdevelop,
LPRng, Mesa-glx, qpage, quicklist, qvplay, suby-gtk and ruby-Tk,
snort, stylewriter, ted (thanks, Dan), ucd-snmp-current, w3m, wm2, and
xamp.

Updated packages include:  afterstep-current, apache6, bladeenc,
boehm-gc, cvs-current, ethereal, fetchmail, gcombust, some gnome
modules, gnumeric, ImageMagick, kde (thanks, Matthias), lesstif,
libxml, mutt, openldap, postfix, postgresql, pth, ruby, screen, the
SuSE Linux compatibility packages, tcptrace, tgif, vnc, windowmaker,
XF86Setup, xforms and zebra.

The Package of the Month Award goes to screen (pkgsrc/misc/screen),
nominated by Matt Green.  For those of you who don't know it, screen
gives you the ability to have multiple terminal sessions running at
one time.  Whilst this is nothing new to the users of X11 out there,
the ability to detach a running screen session, login from another
machine and attach to the same session, has become invaluable to me
over the last few years - very useful for checking long-running work
tasks from home, for example, and for searching through text which has
scrolled off screen long ago.

Honourable mentions (from me) go to cdda2wav (part of
pkgsrc/sysutils/cdrecord-current) and pkgsrc/audio/lame for the
ability to read the audio data from CDs and encode it into .mp3
format, and pkgsrc/audio/gqmpeg for playing the resulting mp3s.
