nanomsg is a socket library that provides several common communication
patterns. It aims to make the networking layer fast, scalable, and easy
to use. Implemented in C, it works on a wide range of operating systems
with no further dependencies.
The communication patterns, also called "scalability protocols", are basic
blocks for building distributed systems. By combining them you can create
a vast array of distributed applications. The following scalability
protocols are currently available:
* PAIR -- simple one-to-one communication
* BUS -- simple many-to-many communication
* REQREP -- allows to build clusters of stateless services to process
user requests
* PUBSUB -- distributes messages to large sets of interested subscribers
* PIPELINE -- aggregates messages from multiple sources and load balances
them among many destinations
* SURVEY -- allows to query state of multiple applications in single go
XML-RPC is a quick-and-easy way to make procedure calls over the Internet.
It converts the procedure call into XML document, sends it to a remote
server using HTTP, and gets back the response as XML.
This library provides a modular implementation of XML-RPC for C and C++.
- C API and experimental C++ API.
- Modular XML-RPC core: If you want, you can supply all your own HTTP
code.
- Synchronous and asynchronous XML-RPC clients based on w3c-libwww.
- Multithreaded XML-RPC server based on the Abyss web server.
- Full support for basic types, including <struct>, <array> and <base64>.
- Extensive test suites to help verify correct behavior and correct
error handling.
- Passes the official XML-RPC validator1 test suite.
c-nocem - NoCeM for C News and INN
This is a program for the easy and efficient application of the NoCeM
protocol on the news spool. Which means, articles for which a NoCeM
with "action=hide" is accepted, will be deleted from your news system
as if they had been cancelled. With the installation described below,
these will be processed as fast as possible and should work like real
cancels.
Unlike the standard implementation of NoCeM, this version is optimized
for the most common case of "spam cancels". In fact, it can do nothing
else. It can not be run by a normal user, it does not need or
manipulate state like .newsrc files, it processes only "hide" actions,
and that only by actually deleting the articles.
c-nocem is designed for easy setup and fast run and needs no
maintenance.
ubh - the Usenet Binary Harvester - is a GPL'ed Perl console
application which automatically discovers, downloads, and decodes
single-part and multi-part Usenet binaries. Automatically assembles
multi-part binaries. Provides searching via Perl regular expression
syntax. Also provides a pre-selection capability whereby the user
can
interactively choose which binaries to download. Uses a standard
.newsrc file to control which groups and articles to process.
Runs anywhere Perl runs. Tested under Unix-based Perl, Active Perl
on Win32 platforms, and Mac OS X. Requires Net::NNTP and
News::Newsrc
(which itself requires Set::IntSpan), MIME::Parser, MIME::Base64,
IO::Stringy, and MailTools (distribution).

Texinfo is the official documentation format of the GNU project.
It was invented by Richard Stallman and Bob Chassell many years
ago, loosely based on Brian Reid's Scribe and other formatting
languages of the time. It is used by many non-GNU projects as well.
Texinfo uses a single source file to produce output in a number of
formats, both online and printed (dvi, html, info, pdf, xml, etc.).
This means that instead of writing different documents for online
information and another for a printed manual, you need write only
one document. And when the work is revised, you need revise only
that one document. The Texinfo system is well-integrated with GNU
Emacs.
The program makeindex is a general purpose hierarchical index
generator; it accepts one or more input files (often produced by a
text formatter such as TeX or troff, sorts the entries, and produces
an output file which can be formatted. The index can have up to three
levels (0, 1, and 2) of subitem nesting. The way in which words are
flagged for indexing within the main document is specific to the
formatter used; makeindex does not automate the process of selecting
these words. As the output index is hierarchical, makeindex can be
considered complementary to the awk(1)-based make.index(1L) system of
Bentley and Kernighan, which is specific to troff(1), generates
non-hierarchical indices, and employs a much simpler syntax for
indicating index entries.
ReportLab is a software library that lets you directly create
documents in Adobe's Portabe Document Format (PDF) using the Python
programming language.
The ReportLab library directly creates PDF based on your graphics
commands. There are no intervening steps. Your applications can
generate reports extremely fast - sometimes orders of magnitude
faster than traditional report-writing tools.
The ReportLab library is expected to be useful in at least the
following contexts:
- Dynamic PDF generation on the web
- High-volume corporate reporting and database publishing
- An embeddable print engine for other applications, including
a 'report language' so that users can customize their own reports.
- A 'build system' for complex documents with charts, tables
and text such as management accounts, statistical reports and
scientific papers
- Going from XML to PDF in one step!

This is JadeTeX, a TeX backend for Jade.
JadeTeX enables you to produce formatted output of documents written
with the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML). JadeTeX uses
tex to produce Device Independent (DVI) output; from there, you can
produce high quality hardcopy. JadeTeX also uses pdftex to produce
Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) versions of your documents,
complete with hyperlinks, and suitable for distribution on the World
Wide Web and other media.
To use JadeTex, run your SGML document, its Document Type Definition
(DTD), and its Document Style Semantics and Specification Language
(DSSSL) specification, through jade with the "-t tex" option. Then,
to produce a DVI file, run
etex "&jadetex" <file>.tex
To produce a PDF file, run
pdftex "&pdfjadetex" <file>.tex
