DeuTex is a tool to work with WAD files for Doom, Heretic, Hexen, and Strife. It can be used to extract the lumps from a WAD and save them as individual files. Conversely, it can also build a WAD from separate files. When extracting a lump to a file, it does not just copy the raw data, it converts it to an appropriate format (such as PPM for graphics, Sun audio for samples, etc.). Conversely, when it reads files for inclusion in PWADs, it does the necessary conversions (for example, from PPM to Doom picture format). In addition, DeuTex has functions such as merging WADs, etc. If you're doing any WAD hacking beyond level editing, DeuTex is a must.

paq is a family of archivers with the best lossless compression ratios now available across a wide variety of test data, according to several benchmarks. A comparison of paq to other compression methods, on a 2GHz T3200, when compressing a large text file: Format Size Time (sec) Memory comp decomp ----------- --------- -------------- ------- Uncompressed 3,152,896 compress 1,319,521 1.6 0.2 .1 MB gzip -9 1,022,810 0.7 0.1 .1 MB bzip2 -9 860,097 0.6 0.4 5 MB p7zip (7z) 824,573 1.5 0.1 195 MB xz -6 822,016 ? ? ? zpaq c1 (fast) 806,959 2 2 38 MB zpaq c2 (mid) 699,191 8 8 112 MB zpaq c3 (max) 644,190 20 20 246 MB The port uses the open ZPAQ specification, and contains: a public-domain C++ API for reading and writing ZPAQ compressed data to or from files or objects in memory; serial and multi-threaded archivers; extra preprocessors for compression; and stubs for creating self-extracting archives.

RoadMap is a program for Linux that displays street maps. The maps are provided by the US Census Bureau, and thus only cover the US. RoadMap is at an early stage of development. At this time there are no routing features implemented yet. RoadMap can only display the map around a specified street address or follow a GPS device (using gpsd). The plan for the future is to implement some navigation features similar to those found in commercial street navigation systems. RoadMap uses a binary file format for representing the maps that is compact enough to allow the storage of many maps on a Compact Flash or MultiMedia card. The map of Los Angeles county takes about 10 Mbytes of flash space. RoadMap comes with a set of tools to convert the US Census bureau data into its own map format.

abcMIDI is James Allwright's collection of abc <-> MIDI conversion utilities, plus YAPS to convert abc files to PostScript for printing music scores. midi2abc - program to convert MIDI format files to abc notation. abc2midi - converts abc file to MIDI file(s). abc2abc - a simple abc checker/re-formatter/transposer. mftext - gives a verbose description of what is in a MIDI file. yaps - an abc to PostScript converter. Also includes: abcguide.txt - how to write abc files for these programs demo.abc - a collection of sample abc tunes Check ${PREFIX}/share/doc/abcmidi/ for these and other docs. The abc format is plain text, but you might optionally install a MIDI player (timidity) and a PostScript viewer (gv with ghostscript).

Oggz provides a simple programming interface for reading and writing Ogg files and streams. Ogg is an interleaving data container developed by Monty at Xiph.Org, originally to support the Ogg Vorbis audio format. liboggz supports the flexibility afforded by the Ogg file format while presenting the following API niceties: * Strict adherence to the formatting requirements of Ogg bitstreams, to ensure that only valid bitstreams are generated * A simple, callback based open/read/close or open/write/close interface to raw Ogg files * A customisable seeking abstraction for seeking on multitrack Ogg data * A packet queue for feeding incoming packets for writing, with callback based notification when this queue is empty * A means of overriding the IO functions used by Oggz, for easier integration with media frameworks and similar systems. * A handy table structure for storing information on each logical bitstream

Bonnie++ is a benchmark suite that is aimed at performing a number of simple tests of hard drive and file system performance. Then you can decide which test is important and decide how to compare different systems after running it. I have no plans to ever have it produce a single number, because I don't think that a single number can be useful when comparing such things. The main program tests database type access to a single file (or a set of files if you wish to test more than 1G of storage), and it tests creation, reading, and deleting of small files which can simulate the usage of programs such as Squid, INN, or Maildir format email.

A suite of tools for visualising sequence alignments. Blixem is an interactive browser of pairwise alignments that have been stacked up in a "master-slave" multiple alignment; it is not a 'true' multiple alignment but a 'one-to-many' alignment. Belvu is a multiple sequence alignment viewer and phylogenetic tool. It has an extensive set of user-configurable modes to color residues by conservation or by residue type, and some basic alignment editing capabilities. Dotter is a graphical dot-matrix program for detailed comparison of two sequences. Every residue in one sequence is compared to every residue in the other, with one sequence plotted on the x-axis and the other on the y-axis.

Conserver is an application that allows multiple users to watch a serial console at the same time. It can log the data, allows users to take write-access of a console (one at a time), and has a variety of bells and whistles to accentuate that basic functionality. The idea is that conserver will log all your serial traffic so you can go back and review why something crashed, look at changes (if done on the console), or tie the console logs into a monitoring system (just watch the logfiles it creates). With multi-user capabilities you can work on equipment with others, mentor, train, etc. It also does all that client-server stuff so that, assuming you have a network connection, you can interact with any of the equipment from home or wherever.

This package contains a base64 encoder/decoder and a quoted-printable encoder/decoder. These encoding methods are specified in RFC 2045 - MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions). The base64 encoding is designed to represent arbitrary sequences of octets in a form that need not be humanly readable. A 65-character subset ([A-Za-z0-9+/=]) of US-ASCII is used, enabling 6 bits to be represented per printable character. The quoted-printable encoding is intended to represent data that largely consists of bytes that correspond to printable characters in the ASCII character set. Non-printable characters are represented by a triplet consisting of the character "=" followed by two hexadecimal digits. The MIME::Base64 and MIME::QuotedPrint modules used to be part of libwww-perl package. They are now distributed separately (this package). The main improvement is that the base64 encoder/decoder is implemented by XS functions. This makes it about 20 times faster than the old implementation in perl.

Mtools is a collection of helper scripts to parse and filter MongoDB log files (mongod, mongos), visualize log files and quickly set up complex MongoDB test environments on a local machine: * mlogfilter * slices log files by time, merges log files, filters slow queries, finds table scans, shortens log lines, filters by other atributes, convert to JSON; * mloginfo * returns info about log file, like start and end time, version, binary, special sections like restarts, connections, distinct view; * mplotqueries * visualize logfiles with different types of plots; * mlogvis * creates a self-contained html file that shows an interactive visualization in a web browser (as an alternative to mplotqueries); * mlaunch * a script to quickly spin up local test environments, including replica sets and sharded systems; * mgenerate * generates structured pseudo-random data based on a template for testing and reproduction.
