XParam is a general-purpose tool for parameter handling in C++.
It allows object serialization and deserialization in a format that is
human-readable and -writeable, and is unaffected by issues of word-size
and endianity. The XParam format is also not confused by objects containing
pointers: it saves the objects in such a manner that their conceptual
contents can be restored perfectly.
For this reason, XParam provides an excellent tool for cross-program and
cross-platform communication. In future, XParam may also be extended to
allow cross-language communication, but for now it is only available in C++.
ZooKeeper is a distributed, open-source coordination service for
distributed applications. It exposes a simple set of primitives that
distributed applications can build upon to implement higher level
services for synchronization, configuration maintenance, and groups
and naming. It is designed to be easy to program to, and uses a data
model styled after the familiar directory tree structure of file
systems. It runs in Java and has bindings for both Java and C.
Coordination services are notoriously hard to get right. They are
especially prone to errors such as race conditions and deadlock. The
motivation behind ZooKeeper is to relieve distributed applications the
responsibility of implementing coordination services from scratch.
gdnsd is an Authoritative-only DNS server.
The initial g stands for Geographic, as gdnsd offers a plugin system for
geographic (or other sorts of) balancing, redirection, and
service-state-conscious failover. If you don't care about that feature,
it's still quite good at being a very fast, lean, and resilient
authoritative-only server for static DNS data.
gdnsd is written in C using libev and pthreads with a focus on high
performance, low latency service. It does not offer any form of caching or
recursive service, and does not support DNSSEC.

FocusWriter is a simple, distraction-free writing environment. It utilizes a
hide-away interface, that you access by moving your mouse to the edges of the
screen, allowing the program to have a familiar look and feel to it, while still
getting out of the way, so that you can immerse yourself in your work.
Features:
- TXT, basic RTF, and basic ODT file support
- Timers and alarms
- Daily goals
- Fully customizable themes
- Typewriter sound effects (optional)
- Auto-save (optional)
- Live statistics (optional)
- Spell-checking (optional)
- Multi-document support
- Sessions
- Portable mode (optional)
- Translated into over 20 languages
NEdit is a GUI (Graphical User Interface) style text editor for
programs and plain-text files. Users of Macintosh and MS Windows
based text editors will find NEdit a familiar and comfortable
environment. NEdit provides all of the standard menu, dialog,
editing, and mouse support, as well as all of the standard shortcuts
to which the users of modern GUI based environments are accustomed.
For users of older style Unix editors, welcome to the world of
mouse-based editing!
This port requires a Motif library to build and run. It is
recommended that you use OpenMotif as Nedit has font aliasing
issues when using LessTif.
PSGML is a major mode for editing SGML and XML documents. It works
with GNU Emacs 19.34, 20.3 and later or with XEmacs 19.9 and later.
PSGML contains a simple SGML parser and can work with any DTD.
Functions provided includes menus and commands for inserting tags with
only the contextually valid tags, identification of structural errors,
editing of attribute values in a separate window with information about
types and defaults, and structure based editing.
To use psgml, put the following setup into your ~/.emacs:
(require 'psgml-startup)
Ports of PSGML are initially created by shige <shige@FreeBSD.org> and
kuriyama@FreeBSD.ORG.
Vim is a highly configurable text editor built to enable efficient text editing.
It is an improved version of the vi editor distributed with most UNIX systems.
Vim is often called a "programmer's editor," and so useful for programming that
many consider it an entire IDE. It's not just for programmers, though. Vim is
perfect for all kinds of text editing, from composing email to editing
configuration files.
Despite what the above comic suggests, Vim can be configured to work in a very
simple (Notepad-like) way, called evim or Easy Vim.
The Desktop CYBER Emulator is a project which successfully brought
back to life the revolutionary design of Control Data Corporation
CYBER mainframes. The software provides a reasonable emulation of
a "typical" CDC CYBER 6600, 7x, 17x based system including common
peripherals such as console, tape and disk drives, card reader,
printer and terminal multiplexer. The emulation runs the following
CDC operating systems: ChippewaOS, SMM, KRONOS 2.1, NOS 1.2, NOS
1.3, NOS 1.4, NOS 2.2 and NOS 2.8.2. It does not support NOS/VE
which requires virtual mode only available in CYBER 180s.
higan is a Nintendo multi-system emulator that began development
on 2004-10-14. The purpose of this emulator is a bit different from
others: it focuses on accuracy, debugging functionality, and clean code.
The emulator does not focus on things that would hinder accuracy.
This includes speed and game-specific hacks for compatibility.
As a result, the minimum system requirements for higan are very high.
The emulator itself was not derived from any existing emulator source code,
such as SNES9x. It was written from scratch.
Any similarities to other emulators are merely coincidental.
