Squeak is an open, highly-portable Smalltalk-80 implementation whose
virtual machine is written entirely in Smalltalk, making it easy to
debug, analyze, and change; it includes among other things:
* a rapid-turn-around Smalltalk-80 compiler,
* a caching-JIT run-time virtual machine (with full source in
Smalltalk),
* large class libraries with portable data and GUI models, and
* an integrated development environment with powerful coding
tools and GUI construction tools.
Squeak was developed at Apple Labs, Walt Disney and has been ported
to a variety of computers (including most flavors of UNIX and Windows).
Compared to other Smalltalk systems, Squeak has 4 important features:
* Portability (to Mac, Windows, WinCE, and many flavors of UNIX);
* Speed (it uses native C for compute-intensive code);
* Price (free, including all source code and the right to distribute
applications!); and
* Sophistication (full Smalltalk-80 language, libraries, and tools).
Squeak comes under an open source license, meaning that you can
download and use it for free.

PPM2FLI can read directly PPM,PGM,PBM and FBM files. If necessary it
performs a quantization. The filters of the NETPBM, PBMPLUS and FBM package
can be used as read filters. Together with one of this packages
a large number of image formats can be handled.
UNFLICK writes images in PPM or FBM format.
In contrast to FBM2FLI no additional package is required to build
PPM2FLI and UNFLICK. So it can be used without any of the above mentioned
packages, if another source of PPM,PGM,PBM or FBM images is available.
For example, PS images can be animated using ghostscript.
The current version is call `beta' because some parts are relative new
and not totally tested. I made tests on SUN sparc-stations (various versions
of SUN-OS), on PC running LINUX and under MSDOS using the DJGPP DOS-extender.
In all cases the GCC compiler was used. Under MSDOS I used a modified
makefile. Anyway, in some environments changes in the makefile are necessary.
transcode is a text-console utility for video stream processing,
running on a platform that supports shared libraries and threads.
Decoding and encoding is done by loading modules that are responsible
for feeding transcode with raw video/audio streams (import modules)
and encoding the frames (export modules).
It supports elementary video and audio frame transformations,
including de-interlacing or fast resizing of video frames and loading
of external filters. A number of modules are included to enable
import of DVDs on-the-fly, MPEG elementary (ES) or program streams
(VOB), MPEG video, Digital Video (DV), YUV4MPEG streams, NuppelVideo
file format and raw or compressed (pass-through) video frames and
export modules for writing DivX;-), OpenDivX, DivX 4.xx or uncompressed
AVI files with MPEG, AC3 (pass-through) or PCM audio. Additional
export modules to write single frames (PPM) or YUV4MPEG streams are
available, as well as an interface import module to the avifile
library. Its modular concept is intended to provide flexibility
and easy user extensibility to include other video/audio codecs or
file types.
CenterIM is a fork of CenterICQ.
CenterIM is a text mode menu- and window-driven IM interface that supports the
ICQ2000, Yahoo!, MSN, AIM, Gadu-Gadu and IRC protocols as well as posting to
LiveJournal aggregating RSS feeds.
It allows you to send, receive, and forward messages, URLs, SMSes, contacts,
and email express messages. It also lets you set your own and fetch others'
away messages, and define external handlers for incoming events. You can mass
message-send, search for users, view users' details, maintain your contact
list directly from the program, view the message history, register a new UIN
and update your details, be informed upon receipt of email messages,
automatically set away after the defined period of inactivity, and have your
own ignore, visible, and invisible lists. It can also associate events with
sounds, make log of events, and allows arrangement of contacts into groups.
WARNING: This is the development version of centerim. There's no proof that
it will build and/or run properly on your system. But we will be happy to
get some feedback if you experience any problems.
For testing purposes, all available protocols are enabled in this port.
If you don't agree to these facts, you should probable use net-im/centerim
release version.

The development of CenterIM is currently quite active, but is still happy
to find more users helping with contributing bug reports, suggestions,
feedback and code.

OnionCat is a VPN-adapter which allows to connect two or more computers or
networks through VPN-tunnels. It is designed to use the anonymization networks
Tor or I2P as its transport, hence, it provides location-based anonymity while
still creating tunnel end points with private unique IP addresses.
OnionCat uses IPv6 as native layer 3 network protocol. The clients
connected by it appear as on a single logical IPv6 network as being connected
by a virtual switch. OnionCat automatically calculates and assigns unique IPv6
addresses to the tunnel end points which are derived from the hidden service
ID (onion ID) of the hidden service of the local Tor client, or the local I2P
server destination, respectively. This technique provides authentication
between the onion ID and the layer 3 address, hence, defeats IP spoofing
within the OnionCat VPN.
If necessary, OnionCat can of course transport IPv4 as well. Although it has
native IP support, the suggested way to do this is to configure an
IPv4-in-IPv6 tunnel.
BIBVIEW
(graphical interface for BibTeX program)
by Holger Martin, Peter Urban, Armin Liebl

The program "bibview" is a graphical interface for manipulating
BibTeX databases. It supports the user in making new entries,
searching for entries and moving entries from one BiB to another.
It is possible to work with more than one BiB simultaneously.
bibview is implemented with Xt and Athena Widgets.
There are six types of windows in bibview:
The main window contains menus for customizing bibview and
for working with BiBs on the file level.
The bibliography window (one for every open BiB) contains commands
for manipulating the BiB.
The list window (at most one for every open BiB) shows a list of
entries. It displays the fields author, title, type and year.
The card window (at most one for every entry) helps editing an entry.
It contains boxes for each field of the entry (according to the type).
The fields can be edited by putting the mouse cursor into the field.
Macros in fields and the symbol for concatenation ('#') are marked
with a preceding '@'.
The Data Encryption Standard (DES), also known as Data
Encryption Algorithm (DEA) is a semi-strong encryption and
decryption algorithm.
The module is 100 % compatible to Crypt::DES but is implemented
entirely in Perl. That means that you do not need a C compiler
to build and install this extension.
The module implements the Crypt::CBC interface. You are
encouraged to read the documentation for Crypt::CBC if you
intend to use this module for Cipher Block Chaining.
The minimum (and maximum) key size is 8 bytes. Shorter keys will
cause an exception, longer keys will get silently truncated.
Data is encrypted and decrypted in blocks of 8 bytes.
The module implements the Ultra-Fast-Crypt (UFC) algorithm as
found for example in the GNU libc. On the Perl side a lot has
been done in order to make the module as fast as possible
(function inlining, use integer, ...).
Note: For performance issues the source code for the module is
first preprocessed by m4. That means that you need an m4 macro
processor in order to hack on the sources. This is of no concern
for you if you only want to use the module, the preprocessed
output is always included in the distribution.
Crypt::RSA is a pure-perl, cleanroom implementation of the RSA public-key
cryptosystem. It uses Math::Pari(3), a perl interface to the blazingly fast
PARI library, for big integer arithmetic and number theoretic computations.
Crypt::RSA provides arbitrary size key-pair generation, plaintext-aware
encryption (OAEP) and digital signatures with appendix (PSS). For compatibility
with SSLv3, RSAREF2, PGP and other applications that follow the PKCS #1 v1.5
standard, it also provides PKCS #1 v1.5 encryption and signatures.
Crypt::RSA is structured as bundle of modules that encapsulate different parts
of the RSA cryptosystem. The RSA algorithm is implemented in
Crypt::RSA::Primitives(3). Encryption schemes, located under Crypt::RSA::ES,
and signature schemes, located under Crypt::RSA::SS, use the RSA algorithm to
build encryption/signature schemes that employ secure padding. (See the note on
Security of Padding Schemes.)
The key generation engine and other functions that work on both components of
the key-pair are encapsulated in Crypt::RSA::Key(3). Crypt::RSA::Key::Public(3)
& Crypt::RSA::Key::Private(3) provide mechanisms for storage & retrival of keys
from disk, decoding & encoding of keys in certain formats, and secure
representation of keys in memory. Finally, the Crypt::RSA module provides a
convenient, DWIM wrapper around the rest of the modules in the bundle.
The main advantages to the Sun format utility are:
- Working surface analyze that will detect defective blocks that are going
to get bad.
- Analyzing program that detects defective bearings in the disk (-randrw).
- Will repair nearly any defective disk, that has no firmware bug or electric
defect.
- Allows to clear the grown defect list if a disk.
- Disk geometry and label geometry are separated.
- Allows cheating in the label geometry to deal with the problems with the
limitation to 16 bit data types in the Sun disk label.
- Large database of disks including firmware specials.
- You need no desk calculator to generate a partition table.
Shorthands for:
- MBytes
- cylinders/head/sectors
- size partition to end on end of disk
- partition following another partition
- partition ending before another partition
- shifting partition on the disk (allows growing part 0 and shrinking part 1)
- Partition consistency checker with (ascii) graphical display.
- Mode page interpreter allows to set easily all mode pages you will ever find
in a manual, sformat needs not to know about them.
NOTE: Sformat has its full functionality on SunOS/Solaris on sparc
and Motorola systems, on all other systems sformat will create
Sun disk labels with wrong byte-order, but formatting/analysis/
repair will work.
