Bricons program allows the user to quickly start up applications by selecting the appropriate button from the display and pressing the left mouse button. A maximum of up to sixteen main menu buttons can be displayed. Each main menu button can launch an application or pop-up a sub menu containing more buttons. The buttons can be represented as a bitmap, text or a colour icon (i.e Pixmap).

Simplestroke is a simple utility that detects mouse gestures. It currently detects twelve pre-defined mouse gestures and prints the name of the detected gesture to stdout, if any. The output can then e.g. be used in a simple shell script to execute commands. Example usages could include closing windows in i3 by drawing a Z over them or other window manipulations, or pausing your music player by drawing a left-to-right line.

RDB is a fast, portable, relational database management system without arbitrary limits, (other than memory and processor speed) that runs under, and interacts with, the UNIX Operating system. It uses the Operator/Stream DBMS paradigm described in "Unix Review", March, 1991, page 24, entitled "A 4GL Language". There are a number of "operators" that each perform a unique function on the data. The "stream" is supplied by the UNIX Input/Output redirection mechanism. Therefore each operator processes some data and then passes it along to the next operator via the UNIX pipe function. This is very efficient as UNIX pipes are implemented in memory (at least in versions of UNIX at RAND). RDB is compliant with the "Relational Model". The data is contained in regular UNIX ASCII files, and so can be manipulated by regular UNIX utilities, e.g. ls, wc, mv, cp, cat, more, less, editors like the RAND editor 'e', head, RCS, etc.

Thread::Apartment provides an apartment threading wrapper for Perl classes. "Apartment threading" is a method for isolating an object (or object hierarchy) in its own thread, and providing external interfaces via lightweight client proxy objects. This approach is especially valuable in the Perl threads environment, which doesn't provide a direct means of passing complex, nested structure objects between threads, and for non-threadsafe legacy object architectures, e.g., Perl/Tk. By using lightweight client proxy objects that implement the Thread::Queue::Queueable interface, with Thread::Queue::Duplex objects as the communication channel between client proxies and apartment threads (or between threads in general), a more thread-friendly OO environment is provided, ala Java, i.e., the ability to pass arbitrary objects between arbitrary threads. Thread::Apartment is a fundamental component of the PSiCHE framework (http://www.presicient.com/psiche).

MIMEDefang is a program for inspecting and modifying e-mail messages as they pass through your mail relay. MIMEDefang is written in Perl, and its filter actions are expressed in Perl, so it's highly flexible. Here are some things that you can do very easily with MIMEDefang: Delete or alter attachments based on file name, contents, results of a virus scan, attachment size, etc. Replace large attachments with links to a centrally-stored copy to ease the burden on POP3 users with slow modem links. Add boilerplate text to e-mail messages. Customize filter rules based on domain, user-name, relay machine, etc. Reject unacceptable messages, where you define what "unacceptable" means. Add or delete recipients for a message.

"cronolog" is a simple program that reads log messages from its input and writes them to a set of output files, the names of which are constructed using template and the current date and time. "cronolog" is intended to be used in conjunction with a Web server, such as Apache to split the access log into daily or monthly logs. E.g.: TransferLog "|/www/sbin/cronolog /www/logs/%Y/%m/%d/access.log" ErrorLog "|/www/sbin/cronolog /www/logs/%Y/%m/%d/errors.log" would instruct Apache to pipe its access and error log messages into separate copies of cronolog, which would create new log files each day in a directory hierarchy structured by date, i.e. on 31 December 1996 messages would be written to: /www/logs/1996/12/31/access.log /www/logs/1996/12/31/errors.log After midnight the following files would be used: /www/logs/1997/01/01/access.log /www/logs/1997/01/01/errors.log

KDE Base Applications consists of what runs on the desktop. This module isn't a complete collection of essential applications that a user would expect on a desktop (such as e-mail and calculator). This package is the basic set of applications beyond the workspace that KDE applications can assume are installed. These applications should have no problem running on Windows, OS X, Gnome, etc. as stand alone applications if the user wanted to use them there.

S.C.O.U.R.G.E. is a rogue-like game in the fine tradition of NetHack and Moria It sports a graphical front-end, similar to glHack or the Falcon's eye. I tried to design the 3D UI as a best of both worlds from old to new: It lets you rotate the view, zoom in/out, view special effects, etc. On the other hand I've always liked the old-school isometric games like Exult or Woodward.

This is the Jargon File, a comprehensive compendium of hacker slang illuminating many aspects of hackish tradition, folklore, and humor. Furthermore it is a dictionary converted from the original one into JIS X 4081 format (that is a subset of EPWING V1) by FreePWING. So it can be used by EPWING viewer on Unix and the other OS (e.g. Windows or MacOS). URL for this converted dictionary is
