OptimFROG is a lossless audio compression program. Its main goal is to
reduce at maximum the size of audio files, while permitting bit identical
restoration for all input. It is similar with the ZIP compression, but it
is highly specialized to compress audio data.
OptimFROG obtains asymptotically the best lossless audio compression
ratios. It has Windows, Linux, and Mac versions, fully featured input
plug-ins for the Windows Media Player, foobar2000, Winamp2/3/5, dBpowerAMP,
XMPlay, QCD, and XMMS audio players (with bitstream error resilience,
ID3v1.1 and APEv2 read tagging support, ID3v2 compatible), optimal support
for all integer PCM wave formats up to 32 bits and an extensible streamable
(error tolerant) compressed format. It is also fast, the default mode
encodes CD quality audio data at 12.4x real-time and decodes at 17.4x real-
time on AMD Athlon XP 1800+ (the fastest mode encodes at 28.1x real-time
and decodes at 24.7x real-time). Self-extracting (sfx) archives can also be
created with a small overhead of just 54 KB.
Practical Music Search is an open source ncurses client for Music
Player Daemon, written in C++. The target audience are power users who
need an MPD client that is highly configurable and accessible. PMS
features a simple but powerful interface similar to Vim, and runs on
(at least) Linux and Mac OS X.
xmradio is a radio tuner program for X11 (using the Motif widget set),
using NetBSD's and FreeBSD's bktr(4) driver.
It also supports Video4Linux because of its design.
You can control an xmradio running on your desktop using some special
command line options and remote control mechanism.
Flowgrind is an advanced TCP traffic generator for testing and
benchmarking Linux, FreeBSD, and Mac OS X TCP/IP stacks. In
contrast to similar tools like iperf or netperf it features a
distributed architecture, where throughput and other metrics are
measured between arbitrary flowgrind server processes.
Io_lib is a library of file reading and writing code to provide a
general purpose trace file (and Experiment File) reading interface.
The programmer simply calls the (eg) read_reading to create a "Read"
C structure with the data loaded into memory. It has been compiled
and tested on a variety of Unix systems, MacOS X and MS Windows.
TreeView X is program to display phylogenetic trees on Unix-like platforms.
It can read and display NEXUS and Newick format tree files (such as those
output by PAUP*, ClustalX, TREE-PUZZLE, and other programs). It has a
subset of the functionality of the version of TreeView available for the
Mac Classic and Windows (it is roughly equivalent to version 0.95 of
TreeView).
Gerber Viewer (gerbv) is a viewer for Gerber files. Gerber files are
generated from PCB CAD system and sent to PCB manufacturers as basis
for the manufacturing process. The standard supported by gerbv is
RS-274X. The basic difference between RS-274D (the old standard) and
RS-274X is basically the addition of apertures in RS-274X. It might be
possible to make an RS-274X file out of an RS-274D file and an aperture
list.
gerbv also supports drill files. The format supported are known under
names as NC-drill or Excellon. The format is a bit undefined and different
EDA-vendors implement it different. But basically you need to have the
tools definition in the file, then the parser is quite tolerant. The
different holes are shown as dots in the (scaled) correct size.
The different layers of the PCB are separated into different files. gerbv
can load all files at the same time and display them "on top of each
other". You can independently turn them on and off.
Have a TrueType font which is not recognized by X Window? Probably,
the font uses an encoding other than Unicode! Open Type Organizer (oTo)
can show you font info and add new 'name' and 'cmap' tables by
translating the original ones.
This port installs four Chinese Big5/GB TrueType fonts, includes
Kaiti/Mingti(Big5) and Kaiti/Sungti(GB). It then can be used along
with X Window System or typesetting software like CJK. Thanks to
Arphic Technology, you may freely distribute these high-quality
fonts under a GPL-based license. See ARPHIC_*.TXT for details.
kcfonts is a suit of chinese Ming Fanti fonts for X-window
kcfonts' fonts are contributed by Kau Chauo Information CO. to all
TANet users running on PC. Thanks Chin-Hao Tsai <c-tsai@uiuc.edu>, who
converted it to the style of ETen's fonts. Now you can use kcfonts &
crxvt to view Chinese by BIG5 encoding.
