OpenDD is a DynDNS client, written in C, and especially designed
for small gateway machines, like a Soekris box. Its main feature
is that it does not require any Perl or Python interpreter.
It supports HTTPS, can send a mail report, and can run as daemon.
It is also very easy to deploy.
Gate is text-gatherer. A text-gatherer is like a text-editor, but much
more lightweight and unobtrusive.
If you have a program or shell script that asks people to enter a small
chunk of text, a text-gatherer like Gate is a good way to do it. It
doesn't clear the screen (annoying if there were just some instructions
printed there). It doesn't require you to know a lot of obscure editing
commands. It doesn't make excessive demands on the intelligence of your
terminal emulation software.
It does provide a number of features that make it easier for novice users
to produce good text. It does word-wrap, prints a prompt on each new line,
and allows backspacing from the currently line onto previous lines. It
also provides features that a more experienced user can use. You can call
up normal editor, or use some of gate's simple-minded editing
commands. You can read in files, or save your text to a file. You can
filter your text through something like the Unix "fmt" command. It
provides a nice spell-checking interface too.
Kile is an integrated LATEX environment for the KDE desktop. Kile
gives you the ability to use all the functionalities of LATEX in a
graphical interface, giving you easy, immediate, and customized
access to all programs for LATEX codecompletion, compiling,
postprocessing, debugging, conversion and viewing tools; you also
get very handy wizards, a LATEX reference and a powerful project
management.
PDFedit is a free open source pdf editor and a library for
manipulating PDF documents, released under terms of GNU GPL version 2.
It includes PDF manipulating library based on xpdf, GUI,
set of command line tools and a pdf editor.
This package does not include GUI for technical reason.
fuse is a free version of a ZX Spectrum emulator. It emulates
the 48K/128K/+2/+2A/+3 Speccy and Timex TC2048 machine, supports
loading from .tzx files, has sound and kempston joystick emulation,
and emulates various printers you could attach to the Spectrum.
It supports the new RZX input recording file format.
Imagine this nightmare scenario: your boss tells you about a legacy system you
have to support. How bad could it be? COBOL? Fortran? Worse: it's an embedded
6502 system run by a family of squirrels. Fortunately there's a pure Perl 6502
emulator that works so well the squirrels will never know the difference.
The project aims to create a fully working Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
emulator follwing the specifications of the Trusted Computing Group. The
port provides a driver library libtddl which can be linked against programs
providing a Trusted Software Stack to redirect TPM calls to the emulator.
Finance::Amortization is a simple object oriented interface to an amortization
table. Pass in the principal to be amortized, the number of payments to be
made, and the interest rate per payment. It will calculate the rest on demand,
and provides a few methods to ask for the state of the table after a given
number of periods.
Mirror is a package written in Perl that uses the ftp protocol to
duplicate a directory hierarchy between the machine it is run on and a
remote host. It avoids copying files unnecessarily by comparing the
file timestamps and sizes before transferring. Amongst other things
Mirror can optionally compress, gzip, and split files.
puf is a download tool for UNIX-like systems. You may use it to
download single files or to mirror entire servers. It is similar to
GNU wget (and has a partly compatible command line), but has the
ability to do many downloads in parallel. This is very interesting,
if you have a high-bandwidth internet connection.
