yydecode started life as a decoder for yEnc encoded binaries, which have
recently appeared on Usenet. yydecode works almost identically to the infamous
uudecode program. Version 0.2.8 and onwards contains a superset of uudecode's
functionality, (ie. decodes standard uuencoded files, as well as Base64
[RFC2045] encoded files produced by uuencode) and hence can be used as a
drop-in replacement in all circumstances.
makeztxt is a simple command line program that takes a plain ASCII text file
and compresses it into a zTXT database. makeztxt will remove newline
characters at the end of lines that contain text so that the paragraphs flow
better on the Palm screen.
pilot-link is a series of tools designed to extract and add data to a PalmPilot
organizer. There are programs in here to transfer data, debug the pilot,
synchronize with calendars, and a set of include files and libraries with which
you may build your own applications in C, C++, Perl5, Tcl, Java, and Python.
CUPS-PDF is designed to produce PDF files in a heterogeneous network by
providing a PDF printer on the central fileserver. After restarting CUPS, you
will be able to choose "CUPS-PDF (Virtual PDF Printer)" when setting up a new
printer in CUPS. Once you print to the new device all converted PDF files will
be placed in the specified directory.
GGV, the Gnome GhostView, is a Gnome PostScript document previewer.
It can also preview PDFs, but as it is not a native PDF viewer, it
does not take advantage of all the features of the PDF format.
graphics/gpdf is a more capable PDF viewer.
The PDF Renderer is an open source, all Java library which renders
PDF documents to the screen using Java2D.
Some features:
* view PDFs in your own app
* print-preview before exporting PDF files
* render PDFs to PNGs in a server-side web application
* view PDFs in a 3D scene
* draw on top of PDFs and annotate them in a networked viewer
color-tools is a Ruby library to provide RGB, CMYK, and other colourspace
support to applications that require it. It also provides 152 named RGB
colours. It offers 152 named RGB colours (184 with spelling variations)
that are commonly supported and used in HTML, SVG, and X11 applications.
A technique for generating a monochromatic contrasting palette is also
included.
Prawn is a new pure Ruby PDF generation library,
with the long term goal of providing a suitable
replacement for PDF::Writer. It is being developed
under the auspices of the Ruby Mendicant project
with copious help from a number of mighty fine
contributors.
pytoport provides a way to quickly generate the barebones of a Python package
by simply providing the name of the module to the command. It accesses the
PyPI JSON API and does its best to generate a fully functional Makefile and
distinfo where sources are found.
Checkmol is a command-line utility program which reads molecular
structure files in different formats and analyzes the input
molecule for the presence of various functional groups and structural
elements. At present, approx. 200 different functional groups are
recognized. This output can be easily placed into a database table,
permitting the creation of chemical databases with a functional group
search option. Checkmol also outputs a set of statistical values derived
from a given molecule, which can also be used for quick retrieval from a
database. These values include: the number of atoms, bonds, and rings,
the number of differently hybridized carbon, oxgen, and nitrogen atoms,
the number of C=O double bonds, the number of rings of different sizes,
the number of rings containing nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, the number of
aromatic rings, the number of heterocyclic rings, etc. The combination
of all of these values for a given molecule represents some kind of
"fingerprint" which is useful for rapid pre-selection in a database
structure/substructure search prior to a full atom-by-atom match.
Matchmol complements the capabilities of checkmol. It compares two (or
more) molecular structures and determines whether one of them is a
substructure of the other one. This is done by a full atom-by-atom
comparison of the input structures. Thus, matchmol can be used as a
back-end program for structure/substructure search operations in
chemical databases.
The port installs both checkmol and matchmol.
