pages i haven't yet time to look at in detail, or who don't fit into any of
the above categpries. Most of them might be gone tomorrow, or moved to a
differnt section. [Currently, Mosaic manages to crash my X server once or
twice a day, so i like to keep links in a written form.]

Check out http://riwww.osf.org:8001/www/waiba/index.html
and follow the links to Ariadne. Ariadne is a web browser being designed
by OSF which is implemented in Talk, a Lisp dialect. You can get more
information about Talk from Ilog's web server at http://www.ilog.com/. To repeat, *Talk is
a Lisp dialect!* :^)
Haven't looked at it in depth. There is no obvious link to anything
Talk-related on the front page or the one overview/project mission page I
looked at. Maybe tonight, when the tides of bandwidth are more fortunate.

The X Consortium is working on a platform independent, distributed
(CORBA), GUI and structured graphics library called Fresco. Fresco
supports multi-threading on Win NT and MT Unix's. Check it out in
X11R6.
Since Fresco's interface (API) is defined in OMG IDL, Fresco can
be used from several languages. The `servers' in the X11R6 sample
implementation are written in C++. We are working on an Ada95
implementation. Even C++ and Smalltalk programmers will be able
to use our `nice language' version. ;-)
Fujitsu maintains a nice web page on Fresco:
http://www.faslab.com/fresco/HomePage.html
Looks like a decently-maintained server (Clean layout, unobstrusive
Netscapisms that mostly coincide with proposed 3.0 extensions) that holds
lots of informations. Dozens of development programmer have online
pages. Technical documents (specs, drafts, ...) galore.
(15.03.95) Jorn Barger's Robot Wisdom home
page. Please don't ask me what it is about; but Joice, AI, and a
critique of NetNews culture are part of it.
(16.03.95) There was lots of talk about TRON when it started in the
'80s as a Japanese government-supported project aimed at producing a new
series of standard systems. Now it's no longer the talk of the town, but
there's some information at the following URL:
http://tron.is.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp/TRON/
Wasn't TRON also the name of the 5th-generation-stuff? Prolog, TAO,
and the 127-byte-opcode machine? I haven't yet looked into this link.

(17.03.95) Kaleida's Web site address is: http://www.kaleida.com/. Go to the
"What's New" section at the bottom of the page and click on "Download a
free copy of the Kaleida Media Player" and on "ScriptX Examples."
Can't test the player, as it's for Windows and Macs only (I somehow
don't think that my teeny PB100 is the right target platform;-)
(18.03.95) HOMR (aka RINGO++)
is a music-rating service. I don't know how its internals works, but the
idea is as following: you put in a list of your favourite artists, and get
a list of pieces you might like. Of course, when I first tried it, i got
only empty answers. Some functions are not yet implemented. Also, the
frequent time-out errors get on my nerves.
