This is a text to speech system produced by integrating various pieces of code and tables of data, which are all (I believe) in the public domain. The Oxford Text Archive has for several years maintained copies of several machine-readable dictionaries along with its extensive (if unsystematic) collections of other machine-readable texts. This document gives some further details of the various dictionaries available, and summarises the conditions under which copies of them are currently distributed. The Oxford Text Archive Shortlist (available on request via electronic mail and by FTP) gives up to date brief details of all texts held in the Archive. Send electronic mail to ARCHIVE@VAX.OXFORD.AC.UK. For anonymous FTP, look in the directory ota on ota.ox.ac.uk.

flops.c is a C program which attempts to estimate your system's floating- point 'MFLOPS' rating for the FADD, FSUB, FMUL, and FDIV operations based on specific 'instruction mixes' (discussed below). The program provides an estimate of PEAK MFLOPS performance by making maximal use of register variables with minimal interaction with main memory. The execution loops are all small so that they will fit in any cache. The flops.c execution modules include various percent weightings of FDIV's (from 0% to 25% FDIV's) so that the range of performance can be obtained when using FDIV's. FDIV's, being computationally more intensive than FADD's or FMUL's, can impact performance considerably on some systems.

Tsung is an open-source multi-protocol distributed load testing tool It can be used to stress HTTP, WebDAV, SOAP, PostgreSQL, MySQL, LDAP and Jabber/XMPP servers. Tsung is a free software released under the GPLv2 license. The purpose of Tsung is to simulate users in order to test the scalability and performance of IP based client/server applications. You can use it to do load and stress testing of your servers. Many protocols have been implemented and tested, and it can be easily extended. It can be distributed on several client machines and is able to simulate hundreds of thousands of virtual users concurrently (or even millions if you have enough hardware ...). Tsung is developed in Erlang, an open-source language made by Ericsson for building robust fault-tolerant distributed applications.

The Unix Benchmark Utility "ubench" is an attempt to introduce a single measure of perfomance among computer systems running various flavors of Unix operation system. The current development release tests only CPU(s) and memory. In the future releases there will be tests added for disk and TCP/IP. Ubench is taking advantage of multiple CPUs on an SMP system and the results will reflect that. o Ubench is executing rather senseless mathematical integer and floating-point calculations for 3 mins concurrently using several processes, and the result Ubench CPU benchmark. o Ubench will spawn about 2 concurrent processes for each CPU available on the system. This ensures all available raw CPU horsepower is used. o Ubench is executing rather senseless memory allocation and memory to memory copying operations for another 3 mins concurrently using several processes, and the result Ubench MEM benchmark.

Version 2 of the FASTA packages contains many programs for performing sequence comparisons, producing local alignments, and other related tasks for analysing DNA and proteins. Currently, the FASTA2 suite is in maintenance mode. This package provides the analysis tools from FASTA2. The searching programs are available in version 3 of the FASTA packages, which may be found in the port biology/fasta3. FASTA is described in: W. R. Pearson and D. J. Lipman (1988), "Improved Tools for Biological Sequence Analysis", PNAS 85:2444- 2448, and W. R. Pearson (1990) "Rapid and Sensitive Sequence Comparison with FASTP and FASTA" Methods in Enzymology 183:63- 98). The FASTA2 suite is distributed freely subject to the condition that it may not be sold or incorporated into a commercial product.

In April/May 2012, STEP Class Library was renamed to STEPcode. This was done because the old name wasn't accurate - the class libraries are only a fraction of the software. The STEP Class Library (SCL) originated at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, or NIST. NIST started working with STEP in the 80's and continued until the late 90's. Some components of SCL were originally written in Lisp and then re-written in mixed C and C++ in the early 90's. The rest of SCL was written in C++ to begin with. STEPcode (SC) includes the class libraries, some of the most widely used EXPRESS schemas, some tools to work with EXPRESS, and support libraries for those tools. Two of the tools can create schema-specific libraries that are used with the class libraries. There are also some test files and programs.

NTHU-CS Maple BBS 2.36 BBS-like editor Besides normal functions, it has some great features for programmers -- goto line (ESC-G) cut & paste cross files (Ctrl-G to see ve.hlp) block shift left/right (ESC-J/K, Ctrl-G to see ve.hlp) parenthesis matching (ESC-[) seaching (Ctrl-S, ESC-n, ESC-p) (matching start of line, case sensitive/in-sensitive, forward/backward) undo line (ESC - '-', or ESC-_ ) undelete lines (ESC-u) ... emacs-like hot-key ve is a tiny editor, about 60K. It's woju's favorite UNIX editor. The most obvious weakness of ve is changing TABs into Spaces. So please don't use ve to edit TAB-important files, such as Makefile, sendmail.cf, syslog.conf... etc.

This library package provides several forward error correction (FEC) decoders and accelerated primitives useful in digital signal processing (DSP). Except for the Reed-Solomon codecs, these functions take full advantage of the MMX, SSE and SSE2 SIMD instruction sets on Intel/AMD IA-32 processors and the Altivec/VMX/Velocity Engine SIMD instruction set on the G4 and G5 PowerPC. The library includes Viterbi decoders for the following convolutional codes: rate 1/2 k=7 rate 1/2 k=9 rate 1/6 k=15 ("Cassini") plus two Reed-Solomon encoder-decoders: one optimized for the (255,223) CCSDS standard code a general purpose encoder/decoder for arbitrary RS codes and three low-level 16-bit DSP support routines: signed dot product peak detection sum-of-squares (energy) computation This library is licensed under the "lesser" GNU General Public License.

From the man page: The mimencode program simply converts a byte stream into (or out of) one of the standard mail encoding formats defined by MIME, the proposed standard for internet multimedia mail formats. Such an encoding is necessary because binary data cannot be sent through the mail. The encodings under- stood by mimencode are preferable to the use of the uuencode/uudecode pro- grams, for use in mail, in several respects that were important to the authors of MIME. Mmencode is part of metamail, and can be installed as part of that package. It is provided here as an independent package since some programs require mmencode only and hence you can avoid having to install the entire metalmail package when not required.

DWH_File is used in a similar manner to NDBM_File, DB_File etc. In fact it depends on one of these. DWH_File expands the functionality to save not only the hash that is tied but also all the data that this hash contains references to - that is it'll save all you list of lists and list of hashes and so forth. And what's more, it will save objects as well - if they'll comply with some very simple rules which don't impose any limitations to their functionality or structure except that they can't themselves be tied to anyone else. See the "Models" section of the embedded documentation for details.
