Visual Tcl is a freely-available, high-quality application development
environment for UNIX, Window$ and Macintosh platforms.
Visual Tcl is written entirely in Tcl/Tk. No extensions.
Tcl7.6 and Tk4.2 or later are required.
wxGlade is a GUI designer written in Python with the popular GUI toolkit
wxPython, that helps you create wxWidgets/wxPython user interfaces. At the
moment it can generate Python, C++ and XRC (wxWidgets' XML resources) code.
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++.
Paraphrasing the website:
The ZThread package is an advanced object-oriented, cross-platform, C++
threading and synchronization library. It provides a high level
abstraction of the native threading mechanisms to offer a great deal of
flexibility and control.
ZThread features interruptible Thread and Runnable objects for C++, control
objects and implementations of concurrency design patterns. This includes
semaphores, mutexes, condition variables as well as other more complex
components.
ZThread implementations are provided for POSIX and Win32 platforms.
The zzip library provides read access to zipped file in a zip-archive.
It is based solely on free algorithms provided by zlib and can
transparently access files being either real files or zipped files
with the same file path argument.
This is a hash table, implemented in C, supporting constant-time
add/find/remove of C structures. Any structure having a unique,
arbitrarily-typed key member can be hashed by adding a UT_hash_handle
member to the structure and calling these macros.
ddclient is a Perl client used to update dynamic DNS entries for
accounts on many dynamic DNS services.
DNRD is a proxy DNS daemon. It supports several forward servers for
redundancy and/or load-balancing. DNS queries for specific domains can
be forwarded to a specific group of DNS servers (with redundancy and
load balancing) for that domain. It is useful for VPNs and also good
support for offline and dialup sites.
The dnsutl package is a collection tools to make administering DNS easier.
These include programs for:
* Generating the reverse DNS mapping by using the DNS forward mapping.
This is useful for producing a self-consistent DNS configuration.
* Generating the /etc/ethers file by using a bogus record type.
* Generating the /etc/hosts file by using the DNS forward mapping.
* Generating the /etc/bootptab file by using the MAC and IP information.
* Generating the /etc/netgroup file by using the DNS forward mapping.
* Generating the Sun /etc/bootparams file by using the MAC and IP information.
* Checking the new-style /etc/named.conf files for self-consistency.
* Checking the old-style /etc/named.boot files for self-consistency.
* Generating the DNS forward mapping by using the /etc/hosts file.
This could be a first step to configuring your DNS server.
* Generating the /etc/dhcp.conf file by using the MAC and IP information.
All of these programs are both faster than shell scripts, and more
robust when faced with all the peculiar semantics of DNS resource files.
They even understand the $include directive.
getdns is a modern asynchronous DNS API.
It implements DNS entry points from a design developed and vetted by application
developers, in an API specification edited by Paul Hoffman. With the development
of this API, we intend to offer application developers a modernized and flexible
way to access DNS security (DNSSEC) and other powerful new DNS features;
a particular hope is to inspire application developers towards innovative
security solutions in their applications.
