The utility allows you to download firmware into and upload firmware from
the memory of a Cypress EZ-USB/FX2/FX3 chips. It is a de facto standard
for programming this family of devices.
This port is based on original fxload(8) program available from Linux
Hotplug Project. Libusb support has been provided to correctly work on
FreeBSD and patches for the FX3 have been merged in.
gtkfind is the program to use when you don't want to have to remember all
the options to find(1). It is a graphical program that allows you to
search for files and (optionally) perform operations on them. You can
search for files by using wildcards, by matching file types and/or
permissions, etc. gtkfind requires X and the GTK+ toolkit. It is still
under development, but has reached a stage where it is actually useful.
Ddate prints the date in Discordian date format.
If called with no arguments, ddate will get the current system date, convert
this to the Discordian date format and print this on the standard output.
Alternatively, a Gregorian date may be specified on the command line, in the
form of a numerical day, month and year.

Lazyread is a C program that auto-scrolls files on your screen
in movie credit fashion. It allows the user to read without having
to manually scroll down to see new pages. There are lots of
features, such as being able to choose the speed at which it
scrolls, pause, dynamic speed up, the ability to highlight lines
that contain a specified string, and much more.

Acme::ButFirst allows you to execute a block of code, but first do
something else. Perfect for when you wish to add to the start of a long
block of code, but don't have the energy to scroll upwards in your editor.
Acme::ButFirst recognises both butfirst and but first as keywords.
Usage of Acme::ButFirst is lexically scoped. ButFirstification can be
explicitly disabled by using no Acme::ButFirst.
YABT means Yet another Braille Translator.
YABT is a general purpose Braille translation system
written in pure python. It is primarily designed to
be used by the BrlTex Project, but due to its general
design it may be suited to use in other projects.
Currently YABT has a table for translation in to British
Braille encoded in ASCII Braille, but tables for other
codes and other output encodings such as unicode Braille
are possible.
Camserv is a free program to do streaming video through the web
Streaming video can be sent to both Netscape and Internet Explorer clients.
However, Internet Explorer under Windows cannot apparently handle
the multi-part JPEGs, and therefore a special javascript page must be setup.
One is included in the distribution as an example.
Currently, the only supported BSD device is the bktr driver.
Both tunable modes and camera inputs are supported.
Fxtv is an X11-based FreeBSD app that provides TV-in-a-window and
image/audio/video capture capabilities for Brooktree Bt848/849/878/879
and Pinnacle PCTV tuner/capture cards.
To use this app, you need a capture card supported by the bktr(4) driver.
Examples include the Hauppauge Wincast/TV, the STB TV PCI, and the Intel
Smart Video Recorder III. See the 'bktr' man page for more information.
[From the README:]
this is a small channel scan tool for vdr which generates ATSC, DVB-C,
DVB-S/S2 and DVB-T channels.conf files.
It's 50% "scan" from linuxtv-dvb-apps-1.1.0, the differences are:
- no initial tuning data needed, because scanning without this data is exactly
what a scan tool like this should do
- it detects automatically which DVB/ATSC card to use.
libfame is a video encoding library.
It can currently encode MPEG-1 and MPEG-4 rectangular video, as well as
MPEG-4 video with arbitrary shape.
Objectives
- Compliance : Provide bitstreams compliant to the MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and
MPEG-4 video standards.
- Speed : Provide a fast implementation of the techniques used in MPEG
standards.
- Flexibility : Allow the user to choose between different options for
speed, compression ratio and quality.
- Portability : Support many different platforms and architectures.
