This implementation of the Unix write program adds many nice features
while remaining close to the standard Unix program in spirit. It has been
heavily used on M-Net since 1985 and on Grex since 1991, as well as a few
other systems. It is a ground-up reimplementation using no proprietary
code. It's available under a Berkeley-style license (no charge, no
restriction on commercial use, just don't take my name off of it). The
current version is fairly portable.
Orville write was written for use on M-Net and Grex, both public access
Unix systems in Ann Arbor. As such, many of the features are designed to
support a system featuring a delicate mix of novice users and hostile
pranksters, plus a lot of people who just want to talk. It's user
interface is pretty much identical to the normal write program, but it
offers many extensions and improvements.

fast_xs provides C extensions for escaping text.
The original String#fast_xs method is based on the xchar code by Sam Ruby:
o intertwingly.net/stories/2005/09/28/xchar.rb
o intertwingly.net/blog/2005/09/28/XML-Cleansing
_why also packages an older version with Hpricot (patches submitted). The
version here should be compatible with the latest version of Hpricot code.
Ruby on Rails will automatically use String#fast_xs from either Hpricot or this
gem version with the bundled Builder package.
String#fast_xs is an almost exact translation of Sam Ruby's original
implementation (String#to_xs), but it does escape """ (which is an
optional, but all parsers are able ot handle it. XML::Builder as packaged in
Rails 2.0 will be automatically use String#fast_xs instead of String#to_xs
available.

httpclient gives something like the functionality of libwww-perl (LWP) in Ruby. httpclient formerly known as http-access2.
Features:
* methods like GET/HEAD/POST/* via HTTP/1.1.
* HTTPS(SSL), Cookies, proxy, authentication(Digest, NTLM, Basic), etc.
* asynchronous HTTP request, streaming HTTP request.
* by contrast with net/http in standard distribution;
o Cookies support
o MT-safe
o streaming POST (POST with File/IO)
o Digest auth
o Negotiate/NTLM auth for WWW-Authenticate (requires net/htlm module)
o NTLM auth for Proxy-Authenticate (requires Win32/sspi module)
o extensible with filter interface
o you dont have to care HTTP/1.1 persistent connection (httpclient cares instead of you)
* Not supported now
o Cache
o Rather advanced HTTP/1.1 usage such as Range, deflate, etc. (of course you can set it in header by yourself)
For more detail, see API document at dev.ctor.org/doc/httpclient/
This is a network benchmark for DOS, OS/2 2.x, Windows NT/2000 and Unix.
It measures the net throughput of a network via NetBIOS and/or TCP/IP
protocols (Unix and DOS only support TCP/IP) using various different
packet sizes.
One instance has to run on one machine as a server process, another
instance is used on another machine to perform the benchmark. When
executed without arguments, the program will explain its usage.
This is a character encoding converter generator package.
Currently there are 72 different character encoding description files
supplied with this package, not counting the 13 *.net files, which are
modified character encoding description files. All but 13 of the above
mentioned files describe 8-bit character encodings/sets.
It covers ISO 646, many IBM codepages for MS-DOS, Microsoft Windows
codepages, ISO 8859-x, HP, Adobe, Apple Macintosh, Atari, NeXTSTEP
character encodings, a few EBCDIC encodings, KOI8-R, and a few more.
