GTK is a library for creating graphical user interfaces similar to
the Motif "look and feel". It is designed to be small and efficient, but
still flexible enough to allow the programmer freedom in the interfaces
created. GTK allows the programmer to use a variety of standard user
interface widgets such as push, radio and check buttons, menus, lists
and frames. It also provides several "container" widgets which can be
used to control the layout of the user interface elements.
GTK provides some unique features. (At least, I know of no other
widget library which provides them). For example, a button does not
contain a label, it contains a child widget, which in most instances
will be a label. However, the child widget can also be a pixmap, image
or any combination possible the programmer desires. This flexibility is
adhered to throughout the library.
The dynamic mathematics software Geonext establishes new ways of teaching and
learning mathematics. It offers opportunities of visualisation that can't be
realised on paper or blackboard and with traditional construction tools.
Geonext enables autonomous and cooperative learning of mathematics in the
classroom. It encourages an active discovering approach to mathematical
thinking. Geonext can be used at school and at home for free (GPL).
Therefore the software can be handed out to students without any copyright
problems (GPL).
Geonext can be used from elementary school up to calculus at high school and
in teacher-training at university in a manifold and flexible way.

The boxes command is a text filter which can draw ASCII art boxes around
its input text. These boxes may also be removed, even if they have
been badly damaged by editing of the text inside. Since boxes may be
open on any side, boxes can also be used to create regional comments in
any programming language. With the help of an editor macro or mapping,
damaged boxes can easily be repaired.
The wavelet decomposition of an image results in multiple images
with different frequency content. When amplifying the high frequency
parts the recomposed image appears to be sharper than the original
one. That way the frequency which should be amplified most can also
be selected and a given unsharpness in the original image can be
taken into account.
The wavelet sharpen plugin enhances apparent sharpness of an image
by increasing contrast in high frequency space. The amount of
unsharpness of the original image can be taken into account by
adjusting the sharpening radius. As an option you can choose to
sharpen the luminance (YCbCr) channel of the image only.
The plugin can be found under "Filters > Enhance > Wavelet sharpen"
An installer created by the InstallShield software stores the files it will
install inside of InstallShield Cabinet Files. It would thus be desirable
to be able to extract the Microsoft Cabinet Files from the InstallShield
Cabinet Files in order to be able to install the applications without access
to Microsoft Windows.
- Use a well known open source license (MIT)
- Work on both little-endian and big-endian systems
- Separate the implementation in a tool and a library
- Support InstallShield versions 5 and later
- Be able to list contents of InstallShield Cabinet Files
- Be able to extract files from InstallShield Cabinet Files

Hachoir is the french name for a mincer: a tool used by butchers to cut
meat. Hachoir is also a tool written for hackers to cut file or any
binary stream. A file is split in a tree of fields where the smallest
field can be just a bit. There are various field types: integer, string,
bits, padding, sub file, etc.
JCalendar is a Java date chooser bean for graphically picking a date. JCalendar
is composed of several other Java beans, a JDayChooser, a JMonthChooser and a
JYearChooser. All these beans have a locale property, provide several icons
(Color 16x16, Color 32x32, Mono 16x16 and Mono 32x32) and their own locale
property editor. So they can easily be used in GUI builders.
RC5 is a fast block cipher designed by Ronald Rivest for RSA Data
Security (now RSA Security) in 1994. It is a parameterized algorithm
with a variable block size, a variable key size, and a variable number
of rounds. This particular implementation is 32 bit. As such, it is
suggested that a minimum of 12 rounds be performed.
TWiki is a flexible, powerful, and easy to use Web-based collaboration
platform. Use TWiki to run a project development space, a document
management system, a knowledge base, or any other groupware tool, on
an intranet or on the internet. Web content can be created
collaboratively by using just a browser. Developers can create new web
applications based on a Plugin API.
This module was created as a low-level inteface to any IMAP server. It
was built to be a 'clear box' solution to working with an IMAP
environment. The idea is that anything an IMAP client should be able
to do, and any information available via the IMAP specs, should be
available to a client interface and user. This way, the full strength
of the IMAP protocol and data can be utilized, ideally in the most
network-efficient mannger possible, rather than being contrained only
to a subset of commands or data-limited responses. If the server says
it, the client should be able to see it.
This module also takes steps to be able to handle anticipated
situations for the user rather than forcing a per-implementation
behavior for such expected events, such as referrals. IMAP::Client
will fully support referrals, and will transparently handle them for
whatever command is issued to them (so long as the referral s for
anonymous or the same user with the same password - a new user or
different password would require a new username/password to be
obtained. As of 0.01, this is not supported, however the framework is
down.
