nanomsg is a socket library that provides several common communication patterns. It aims to make the networking layer fast, scalable, and easy to use. Implemented in C, it works on a wide range of operating systems with no further dependencies. The communication patterns, also called "scalability protocols", are basic blocks for building distributed systems. By combining them you can create a vast array of distributed applications. The following scalability protocols are currently available: * PAIR -- simple one-to-one communication * BUS -- simple many-to-many communication * REQREP -- allows to build clusters of stateless services to process user requests * PUBSUB -- distributes messages to large sets of interested subscribers * PIPELINE -- aggregates messages from multiple sources and load balances them among many destinations * SURVEY -- allows to query state of multiple applications in single go

XML-RPC is a quick-and-easy way to make procedure calls over the Internet. It converts the procedure call into XML document, sends it to a remote server using HTTP, and gets back the response as XML. This library provides a modular implementation of XML-RPC for C and C++. - C API and experimental C++ API. - Modular XML-RPC core: If you want, you can supply all your own HTTP code. - Synchronous and asynchronous XML-RPC clients based on w3c-libwww. - Multithreaded XML-RPC server based on the Abyss web server. - Full support for basic types, including <struct>, <array> and <base64>. - Extensive test suites to help verify correct behavior and correct error handling. - Passes the official XML-RPC validator1 test suite.

c-nocem - NoCeM for C News and INN This is a program for the easy and efficient application of the NoCeM protocol on the news spool. Which means, articles for which a NoCeM with "action=hide" is accepted, will be deleted from your news system as if they had been cancelled. With the installation described below, these will be processed as fast as possible and should work like real cancels. Unlike the standard implementation of NoCeM, this version is optimized for the most common case of "spam cancels". In fact, it can do nothing else. It can not be run by a normal user, it does not need or manipulate state like .newsrc files, it processes only "hide" actions, and that only by actually deleting the articles. c-nocem is designed for easy setup and fast run and needs no maintenance.

ubh - the Usenet Binary Harvester - is a GPL'ed Perl console application which automatically discovers, downloads, and decodes single-part and multi-part Usenet binaries. Automatically assembles multi-part binaries. Provides searching via Perl regular expression syntax. Also provides a pre-selection capability whereby the user can interactively choose which binaries to download. Uses a standard .newsrc file to control which groups and articles to process. Runs anywhere Perl runs. Tested under Unix-based Perl, Active Perl on Win32 platforms, and Mac OS X. Requires Net::NNTP and News::Newsrc (which itself requires Set::IntSpan), MIME::Parser, MIME::Base64, IO::Stringy, and MailTools (distribution).

[ excerpt from developer's web site ] Texinfo is the official documentation format of the GNU project. It was invented by Richard Stallman and Bob Chassell many years ago, loosely based on Brian Reid's Scribe and other formatting languages of the time. It is used by many non-GNU projects as well. Texinfo uses a single source file to produce output in a number of formats, both online and printed (dvi, html, info, pdf, xml, etc.). This means that instead of writing different documents for online information and another for a printed manual, you need write only one document. And when the work is revised, you need revise only that one document. The Texinfo system is well-integrated with GNU Emacs.

The program makeindex is a general purpose hierarchical index generator; it accepts one or more input files (often produced by a text formatter such as TeX or troff, sorts the entries, and produces an output file which can be formatted. The index can have up to three levels (0, 1, and 2) of subitem nesting. The way in which words are flagged for indexing within the main document is specific to the formatter used; makeindex does not automate the process of selecting these words. As the output index is hierarchical, makeindex can be considered complementary to the awk(1)-based make.index(1L) system of Bentley and Kernighan, which is specific to troff(1), generates non-hierarchical indices, and employs a much simpler syntax for indicating index entries.

ReportLab is a software library that lets you directly create documents in Adobe's Portabe Document Format (PDF) using the Python programming language. The ReportLab library directly creates PDF based on your graphics commands. There are no intervening steps. Your applications can generate reports extremely fast - sometimes orders of magnitude faster than traditional report-writing tools. The ReportLab library is expected to be useful in at least the following contexts: - Dynamic PDF generation on the web - High-volume corporate reporting and database publishing - An embeddable print engine for other applications, including a 'report language' so that users can customize their own reports. - A 'build system' for complex documents with charts, tables and text such as management accounts, statistical reports and scientific papers - Going from XML to PDF in one step!

This is JadeTeX, a TeX backend for Jade. JadeTeX enables you to produce formatted output of documents written with the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML). JadeTeX uses tex to produce Device Independent (DVI) output; from there, you can produce high quality hardcopy. JadeTeX also uses pdftex to produce Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) versions of your documents, complete with hyperlinks, and suitable for distribution on the World Wide Web and other media. To use JadeTex, run your SGML document, its Document Type Definition (DTD), and its Document Style Semantics and Specification Language (DSSSL) specification, through jade with the "-t tex" option. Then, to produce a DVI file, run etex "&jadetex" <file>.tex To produce a PDF file, run pdftex "&pdfjadetex" <file>.tex
