shim is a trivial EFI application that, when run, attempts to open and
execute another application. It will initially attempt to do this via the
standard EFI LoadImage() and StartImage() calls. If these fail (because secure
boot is enabled and the binary is not signed with an appropriate key, for
instance) it will then validate the binary against a built-in certificate. If
this succeeds and if the binary or signing key are not blacklisted then shim
will relocate and execute the binary.
KDiskFree displays the available file devices (hard drive partitions,
floppy and CD/DVD drives, etc.) along with information on their
capacity, free space, type and mount point. It also allows you to
mount and unmount drives and view them in a file manager.
KDiskFree is similar to the Systemsettings Partitions module, but
takes up less screen space. It is useful if you want to keep a
KDiskFree window available at all times.
'userneu' is a Perl script that parses a list of usernames and additional
information (such as the real name or other information to be put in the
GECOS field in /etc/passwd) and creates Unix accounts and (if desired)
Samba accounts as well. If the script stumbles upon duplicate user names
it can append random characters to the username until it fits.

Zetaback ZFS backup and recovery management system.
Zetaback is a thin-agent based ZFS backup tool. It is designed to:
* run from a central host
* scan clients for new ZFS filesystems
* manage varying desired backup intervals (per host) for
o full backups
o incremental backups
* maintain varying retention policies (per host)
* summarize existing backups
* restore any host:fs backup at any point in time to any target host

The bibutils program set interconverts between various bibliography
formats using a common MODS-format XML intermediate. For example, one
can convert RIS-format files to Bibtex by doing two transformations:
RIS->MODS->Bibtex. By using a common intermediate for N formats, only 2N
programs are required and not N^2-N. These programs operate on the
command line and are styled after standard UNIX-like filters.
This is a program for viewing RTF and MS Word 97 documents. It produces
plain text output and can optionally convert some non-standard characters
into TeX control sequences. It has rudimentary table handling in TeX
mode. Also included are:
- wordview, a small GUI frontend to catdoc that works with Tcl/Tk 7.6 and up;
- xls2csv, which converts Excel spreadsheets to plain text files with CSV
(comma-separated value) lines; and
- catppt, which extracts text from PowerPoint files.
The project aims to create a feature-rich dictionary lookup program.
It supports:
* Babylon .BGL files, complete with images and resources;
* StarDict .ifo/.dict./.idx/.syn dictionaries;
* Dictd .index/.dict(.dz) dictionary files;
* ABBYY Lingvo .dsl source files, together with abbreviations.
The files can be optionally compressed with dictzip. Dictionary
resources can be packed together into a .zip file;
* ABBYY Lingvo .lsa/.dat audio archives. Those can be indexed
separately, or be referred to from .dsl files.
info2man converts GNU info files to pod or -man formats.
GNU info can be a pain as it demands its own special pager, it's a binary
format, it's cruder than HTML and less documented, and most GNU- authored
manual entries basically say "we like info so we don't maintain this manual
entry, thus it is probably wrong". info2man thus converts info files so that
they can be read by ordinary tools.
Java2html is a syntax highlighter for Java and C++ source code that
produces a highlighted html file as output.
Java2html offers the following features:
- support for Java and C++
- fast (single pass conversion using flex)
- doesn't change formatting - only adds <FONT COLOR=#XXXX> tags
and properly escapes non-ascii characters
- easy integration with webservers - browse your sources colourized
- gzips http output for browsers to save bandwidth (only in CGI mode)
- documentation and manpage included
A high-speed character set detection library.
libguess employs discrete-finite automata to deduce the character set
of the input buffer. The advantage of this is that all character sets
can be checked in parallel, and quickly. Right now, libguess passes a
byte to each DFA on the same pass, meaning that the winning character
set can be deduced as efficiently as possible.
libguess is fully reentrant, using only local stack memory for DFA operations.
