The LPRng software is an enhanced, extended, and portable implementation
of the Berkeley LPR print spooler functionality. While providing the
same interface and meeting RFC1179 requirements, the implementation is
completely different and provides support for the following features:
lightweight (no databases needed) lpr, lpc, and lprm programs; dynamic
redirection of print queues; automatic job holding; highly verbose
diagnostics; multiple printers serving a single queue; client programs
do not need to run SUID root; greatly enhanced security checks; and a
greatly improved permission and authorization mechanism.
LPRngTool is a configuration tool for LPRng. It provides a simple
Graphical User Interface that allows users to:
- create printer definitions and edit printcap files
- display the status of print queues and the printing system
- perform printing administration functions
start, stop and abort print jobs
enable and disable spooling to print queues
- configure print filters such as IFHP and the RedHat
print filters
XStow is a replacement of GNU Stow written in C++. It supports all features
of Stow with some extensions.
XStow as GNU Stow, are programs for managing the installation of software
packages, keeping them separate (/usr/local/stow/emacs
vs. /usr/local/stow/perl, for example) while making them appear to be
installed in the same place (/usr/local).
KRename is a powerful batch renamer for KDE. It allows you to easily
rename hundreds or even more files in one go. The filenames can be
created by parts of the original filename, numbering the files or
accessing hundreds of informations about the file, like creation
date or Exif informations of an image.
USBHotkey allows you to catch USB keyboard events (key press and release
events) and transform them into X11 keyboard events using a Ruby script.
This provides mechanism for creating keymaps that can be more complicated
than the standard table-based keymap approach of X11.
Vii (pronounced seven) is a simple program which accepts input from the
standard input and displays pages of the input on the terminal.
These pages are delimited by form-feeds (or EOF). The display can be scrolled
if the output is wider or longer than the screen.
Vii can also repeatedly execute a command (at a configurable interval) and the
most recent output is displayed. This is useful for status monitoring where the
command itself does not have a repeatable or curses interface.
xvidcap is a screen capture enabling you to capture videos off your
X-Window desktop for illustration or documentation purposes.
It is intended to be a standards-based alternative to tools like Lotus
ScreenCam.
DocDiff compares two text files and shows the difference. It can compare files
word by word, character by character, or line by line. It has several output
formats such as HTML, tty, Manued, or user-defined markup.
It supports several encodings and end-of-line characters, including ASCII (and
other single byte encodings such as ISO-8859-*), UTF-8, EUC-JP, Shift_JIS, CR,
LF, and CRLF.
An integrated solution for XML-based publishing in print and web.
It is specifically targeted at producing technical documentation
in the field of computer science.
Documents are written in an XML-based markup language and translated
to different formats with XSL-transformations. At this time, eCromedos
supports the target formats XHTML and LATEX. Where LATEX output can be
further processed into high-quality printable formats by use of the
TEX typesetting system (http://www.ctan.org).
