FROM THE DESK OF DR. JEREMIAH UKWANU DEPARTMENT OF MINERAL AND ENERGY PRETORIA-SOUTH AFRICA. TEL: 27 731 771 278 FAX: 27 733 618 774 Dear Sir/Madam, It is my great pleasure to write you this letter on behalf of my colleagues. I got your information through careful Internet search for a reliable partner to assist in this proposal. I have decided to seek a confidential co-operation with you in execution of a deal hereunder for the benefit of all parties, and hope you will keep it confidential because of the nature of this business. Within the Department of Mining Resources where I work as the Director of Project Implementation, with co-operation of two other top officials, we have in our possession, an overdue payment in US funds. The said funds represent certain percentage of the contract value executed on behalf of my Ministry by a foreign contracting firm, which we the officials over-invoiced to the amount of US$US$26.5M. (Twenty - Six Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars). Though the actual contract cost has been paid to the original contractor, leaving the excess balance unclaimed. The Government of the Republic of South Africa believe that private investment in general, and foreign direct investment in particular, are the real engines for sustainable economic development, for which reason it has continued to encouraged investment in the key growth-oriented sector of Mining with sincere determination to pay foreign contractors all debts owed to them, so as to continue to enjoy close relationship, and mutually beneficial co-operation with foreign governments and non-governmental financial agencies. As a result we included our bills for approvals with the co-operation of some officials at the Department of Finance and the Reserve Bank of South Africa (RBSA). We are seeking your assistance to be the beneficiary of the unclaimed funds, since we are not allowed to operate foreign account. The changing of beneficiary's information/ details and other forms of documentation upon application for claim to reflect the contract money and its approvals will be secured on behalf of your company or your self. I have the authority of my colleagues involved to propose that, should you be willing to assist us in this transaction your share as compensation will be 20% while my colleagues and I shall receive 70%, and the balance of 10% shall be used to reimburse all expenditures, taxes and miscellaneous expenses so incurred. It does not matter whether or not your company does contract projects of the nature described here. The assumption is that your company won the major contract and subcontracted it to other companies. More often than not, big trading companies and firms of unrelated fields win major contracts, and subcontract to more specialized firms for execution. This business itself is 100% safe, provided you treat it with utmost confidentiality. Also your specialization is not a hindrance to the successful execution of this mutual beneficiary transaction. I have reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will not disappoint us. Kindly notify me for further details, upon your acceptance of this proposal. Regards, DR. JEREMIAH UKWANU.

building Hugs on Windows
by Ross Paterson 05 Mar '04

05 Mar '04

What's the current story on this? docs/building/win32.txt describes a build under cygwin+mingw, but I have the impression that plain cygwin or mingw+msys also work (or nearly so), at least from a source dist.

stdin & Windows
by Ross Paterson 02 Mar '04

02 Mar '04

On Windows, Hugs treats stdin specially, reading from the console in char-at-a-time, no-echo mode, with explicit echoing in getChar. On other platforms it (at least the CVS version) treats stdin like any other stream, so one can do line editing and interrupts, and I find that more convenient. Is there any reason not to do the same on Windows?

Default heap size
by Sven Panne 02 Mar '04

02 Mar '04

Could we make the default heap size a little bit bigger? On current PC systems with 0.5GB - 1GB RAM 250kB seems to be a bit tiny, and I can't even load some OpenGL examples without using -hXYZ on the commandline. Maybe 400kB or even 0.5MB? I understand that Hugs is targeted at low-end systems, but even my mobile phone could handle a few MBs... Cheers, S.
