"The SEQIO package is a set of C functions which can read and write
biological sequence files formatted using various file formats and which
can be used to perform database searches on biological databases."

A suite of tools for visualising sequence alignments.
Blixem is an interactive browser of pairwise alignments that have
been stacked up in a "master-slave" multiple alignment; it is not
a 'true' multiple alignment but a 'one-to-many' alignment.
Belvu is a multiple sequence alignment viewer and phylogenetic tool.
It has an extensive set of user-configurable modes to color residues
by conservation or by residue type, and some basic alignment editing
capabilities.
Dotter is a graphical dot-matrix program for detailed comparison
of two sequences. Every residue in one sequence is compared to every
residue in the other, with one sequence plotted on the x-axis and
the other on the y-axis.
SSAHA is a software tool for very fast matching and alignment of DNA
sequences. It stands for Sequence Search and Alignment by Hashing
Algorithm. It achieves its fast search speed by converting sequence
information into a `hash table' data structure, which can then be
searched very rapidly for matches.

Electric is a sophisticated electrical CAD system that can handle
many forms of circuit design, including:
Custom IC layout (ASICs)
Schematic drawing
Hardware description language specifications
Electro-mechanical hybrid layout
(snip, this is an edited version of Electric's homepage)
Electric handles these file formats:
CIF I/O
GDS I/O
VHDL I/O
DXF I/O
PostScript, HPGL, and QuickDraw output
For real functionality, one should consider installing
support simulation software such as cad/spice.
FEAPpv is a general purpose finite element analysis program which is
designed for research and educational use. The program is described in the
references:
The Finite Element Method, 6th ed., Vols. 1 and 2, by O.C. Zienkiewicz and
R.L. Taylor, Elsevier, Oxford, 2005.
FEAPpv is designed to be compatible for compilation in Unix/Linux and
Windows PC environments.
No support on use of the program will be provided.
Firefly Truetype Font is combine of two arphic sung font and is embed
9pt, 10pt, 11pt bitmaps.
Unicode define some character width as ambiguous. Software determines
the width of characters accroding the context. However, sometimes it is
hard or impossible to know the context. Thus, this port dirty fixes some
console software, let them recognize all characters in Big5 encoding
range as double width. Now you will be happy with UTF8 terminal and
Big5 fonts :)
This port fixes the zh_TW.UTF-8 locale for wcwidth(3) and wcswidth(3).
gcin is a Gtk Chinese INput application in X, well support in Traditional
Chinese(Big5) charsets.
QE is a PE2-like editor program under U*nix (PE2 is an editor software
under PC-DOS), I named it QE for the reason that the P is followed by Q,
hope it can exceed PE2 :-), and I release this program under the terms
of General Public License (GPL)
Description:
Using /usr/bin/telnet in "8-bit environment", for example, BIG5-
encoding Chinese characters environment in Taiwan, is somewhat in-convenient.
To be able to input Chinese characters, "-8 or -L" options are needed,
however, using these options cause another problem. Specifying "-8 or -L"
makes ^U or ^C or ^D or ... (any isprint(c)) malfunction when telnet to SunOS.
How-To-Repeat:
/usr/bin/telnet -8 ms1.hinet.net (ms1.hinet.net running Solaris)
login: abcde^U (or just press Enter)
=> the terminal state goes wrong, "reset" is needed to go back
to "normal state"
Fix:
Apply the following patch:
gopher://freebsd.csie.nctu.edu.tw/00%2f3%2fA0002063
This make telnet "8-bit clean", being able to input 8-bit data (Chinese
characters) without specifying "-8 or -L" options, and telnet to SunOS
without trouble.
