Pidgin is a multi-protocol instant messaging client. It is compatible with AIM
(Oscar and TOC protocols), ICQ, MSN Messenger, Yahoo, IRC, Jabber, Gadu-Gadu,
and Zephyr networks.
Pidgin users can log in to multiple accounts on multiple IM networks
simultaneously. This means that you can be chatting with friends on AOL
Instant Messenger, talking to a friend on Yahoo Messenger, and sitting in an
IRC channel all at the same time.
Pidgin supports many features of the various networks, such as file transfer
(coming soon), away messages, typing notification, and MSN window closing
notification. It also goes beyond that and provides many unique features. A
few popular features are Buddy Pounces, which give the ability to notify you,
send a message, play a sound, or run a program when a specific buddy goes away,
signs online, or returns from idle; and plugins, consisting of text
replacement, a buddy ticker, extended message notification, iconify on away,
and more.

This is the UFS2 version of ffsrecov, heavily (and I do mean _heavily_) based
on John-Mark Gurney's program of the same name. It does basically the same
thing, only it's a little more resistant to crashes caused by bad pointers,
offsets and the like, and it does a little more than his did. Don't contact
him for problems with this program, it's definitely _my_ fault if it breaks.
This program is not ready for prime time. It has some shortfalls, it has a
bunch of new options that are mostly undocumented and the manpage could
stand to be rewritten. One _good_ thing is that it now uses the libufs
library and is therefore not as dependent on carrying around low-level code.
On the other hand, it worked for me. Using this tool, I was able to recover
almost all of a several-hundred-gigabyte file system that had been stomped
by a misconfigured RAID controller. (That's why I wrote the thing in the
first place, in fact.) With the right knowledge and a lot of patience,
it is possible to recover most or all of a trashed file system, at least if
it's not _too_ trashed.
I'm releasing it under the Berkeley two-clause license in the hope that
someone with more time will pick it up, polish it and make something
a little more useful out of it.

Set of tools for manipulating and reading geographic data, in
particular ESRI shapefiles; C code used from shapelib. It includes
binary access to GSHHS shoreline files. The package also provides
interface wrappers for exchanging spatial objects with packages
such as PBSmapping, spatstat, maps, RArcInfo, Stata tmap, WinBUGS,
Mondrian, and others.
The BioCocoa framework provides developers with the opportunity to add
support for reading and writing BEAST, Clustal, EMBL, Fasta, GCG-MSF, GDE,
Hennig86, NCBI, NEXUS, NONA, PDB, Phylip, PIR, Plain/Raw, Swiss-Prot and
TNT files by writing only three lines of code.
The framework is written in Cocoa (Objective-C).

Provides UTF-8 conversion for perl versions from 5.00 and up. It
was mainly written for use with perl 5.00 to 5.6.0 because those
perl versions do not support Unicode::MapUTF8 or Encode.
Unicode::UTF8simple is written in plain perl (no C code) and will
work with any Perl 5 version. It is just slightly slower than Encode.
Parallel Events and Asynchronous tasKing Library
libpeak is an experimental C library and provides necessary support for an
event-based application. Unlike other event libraries, libpeak might process
events in parallel on Symmetric Multi-processing (SMP) systems. Its high
performance is particularly adapted for networking applications that need to
process lots of data on lots of connections.
POSIX::strftime::Compiler provides GNU C library compatible
strftime(3). But this module will not affected by the system locale.
This feature is useful when you want to write loggers, servers and
portable applications.
For generate same result strings on any locale,
POSIX::strftime::Compiler wraps POSIX::strftime and converts some
format characters to perl code.
Piklab is an integrated development environment (IDE) for applications
based on Microchip PIC and dsPIC microcontrollers similar to the
MPLAB environment.
It integrates with several compiler and assembler toolchains (like
gputils, sdcc, c18) and with the GPSim simulator.
It supports the most common programmers (serial, parallel, ICD2,
Pickit2, PicStart+), the ICD2 debugger, and several bootloaders
(Tiny, Pickit2, and Picdem).
