In that year a large part of it was published in covers with the title The Cynic's Word Book, a name which the author had not the power to reject or happiness to approve. To quote the publishers of the present work: "This more reverent title had previously been forced upon him by the religious scruples of the last newspaper in which a part of the work had appeared, with the natural consequence that when it came out in covers the country already had been flooded by its imitators with a score of 'cynic' books -- The Cynic's This, The Cynic's That, and The Cynic's t'Other. Most of these books were merely stupid, though some of them added the distinction of silliness. Among them, they brought the word 'cynic' into disfavor so deep that any book bearing it was discredited in advance of publication." Meantime, too, some of the enterprising humorists of the country had helped themselves to such parts of the work as served their needs, and many of its definitions, anecdotes, phrases and so forth, had become more or less current in popular speech. This explanation is made, not with any pride of priority in trifles, but in simple denial of possible charges of plagiarism, which is no trifle. In merely resuming his own the author hopes to be held guiltless by those to whom the work is addressed -- enlightened souls who prefer dry wines to sweet, sense to sentiment, wit to humor and clean English to slang. A conspicuous, and it is hope not unpleasant, feature of the book is its abundant illustrative quotations from eminent poets, chief of whom is that learned and ingenius cleric, Father Gassalasca Jape, S.J., whose lines bear his initials. To Father Jape's kindly encouragement and assistance the author of the prose text is greatly indebted.'' Location: http://www.vestnett.no/cgi-bin/devil Contact: Magnus Y.

Provides a drop-in replacement for malloc and free. Runs on *lots* of different systems, including non-Unix ones. Can also be used to trace memory leaks and memory overwrite problems. Will run as a generational collector, if asked, to cut down response time burps.

The allocators are built based on data gathered from program traces; the resulting codes run up to ten times faster than ordinary allocators. The paper also notes that programmer-tuned custom memory manager code quite often has *worse* performance than stock code.

It can also display the name, or subject, or whatever, below the bitmaps. It understands X-Face: headers. And you can configure it to ignore certain messages, or to group certain messages together. For example, I have it configured so that it displays all mail in certain categories (basically, one category for each mailing list that I'm on, plus a category for stuff from variants on "mailer-daemon") as a single icon, with the count of the number of messages in that category in the upper left corner of the icon.'

It shares some features with the other HTML modes and was originally based on Marc Andreessen's html-mode. html-helper-mode has been tested with emacs18 and emacs19, and should also work fine with Lucid and Epoch. The main feature is that HTML tags are part of the mode: one simple keysequence will insert them for you. Alternately you can complete on a partial tag in the buffer. There's also support for indentation of nested lists, new buffer skeletons, timestamps, syntax colouring and various other useful things. See the WWW document for a full explanation. Version 2.0 is the first official release after two beta tests. It is only slightly different from the last beta release, version 1.34.

In quantities of ten or more, the price is $12.50 each (shipments to California are $11.55 plus $0.95 sales tax).

They're big and bloated and slow. `es', on the other hand, has a cleaner syntax (it is very unlike sh). The quoting rules are far less hairy. And it's extremely flexible---even the top REPL can be replaced. It's just a shell function. (and while dynamic scope is still possible, the capability of lexical scope is an incredible win).
