nss-pam-ldapd, a Name Service Switch (NSS) module and
Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) that allows your
LDAP server to provide user account, group, host name,
alias, netgroup, and basically any other information that
you would normally get from /etc flat files or NIS. It also
allows you to do authentication to an LDAP server.
Key differences from nss_ldap:
* lighter NSS library
* lighter PAM library
* simpler internal semantics
* clear separation between NSS, PAM and LDAP code (the server
part could easily be implemented in another language)
* less connections to the LDAP server
The Web Service Addressing protocol is used to select certain service
and port on a SOAP server, just like the "Host" header in "HTTP".
The basic SOAP design uses the URI and the "soapAction" header of HTTP
(in case it uses HTTP, by far the most often used transport mechanism)
However, when the server is hidden behind firewalls and proxies, these
fields are rewritten or replaced. This means that the definitions by
the WSDL for the client can differ from the configuration of the
MusiXTeX is a set of TeX macros to typeset polyphonic, orchestral or
polyphonic music. This software is not recommended for users that are
familiar with TeX.
MusiXTeX is documented in lib/texmf/documentation/musixtex.tex. This
file must be processed with LaTeX and musixflx:
latex musixdoc
musixflx musixdoc
latex musixdoc
makeindex musixdoc.idx
latex musixdoc
makeindex musixdoc.idx
latex musixdoc
Some examples are provided in lib/texmf/documentation/musixtex.examples
for instance, to typeset the file 'traeumer.tex' type:
musixtex traeumer
musixflx traeumer
musixtex traeumer
GL2PS is a C library providing high quality vector output for any OpenGL
application. The main difference between GL2PS and other similar libraries
is the use of sorting algorithms capable of handling intersecting and
stretched polygons, as well as non manifold objects. GL2PS provides advanced
smooth shading and text rendering, culling of invisible primitives, mixed
vector/bitmap output, and much more...
GL2PS can currently create PostScript (PS), Encapsulated PostScript (EPS)
and Portable Document Format (PDF) files, as well as LATEX files for the
text fragments.
JabRef is an open source bibliography reference manager. The native file
format used by JabRef is BibTeX, the standard LaTeX bibliography format.
As such it can also be considered a BibTeX editor.
JabRef runs on the Java VM (version 1.4.2 or greater).
Some of its features:
o Search and fetch references from Medline/PubMed and CiteSeer
o Search, classify and sort entries in your BibTeX files
o import and export of references in various formats
o launch external viewers and insert citations into LyX and Kile
o automatically generate BibTeX keys
o customize (add your own) BibTeX fields
Pic2fig is a pic(l) preprocessor for drawing simple figures in Fig code.
The basic objects are box, line, arrow, circle, ellipse, arc and text.
When pic2fig is executed, it produces an output file in the
current directory. The name is constructed from the input file's
name. If the input filename ends with .pic, then that extension
will be replaced by .fig. Otherwise, .fig is appended to the input
filename. If file does not exist, then pic2fig tries appending .pic
to the name.
Updated to produce FIG 3.2 format by Patrick Powell
Note: this version does not support the groff/pic 'thickness' attribute.
Prawn::Graph aims to add this functionality to Prawn by using the
native PDF drawing tools Prawn exposes and a friendly single-method
call to draw the graph.
The graphs and the values plotted and drawn are all relatively sized
within the bounds of the width and height you have set and should
scale pretty well to any size of value. Of course, if things do end
up looking too squashed, you can always just make your graph bigger.
At the moment, only Bar and Line charts are implemented, with others
coming soon. Both charts work in mostly the same way.
flpsed is a WYSIWYG PostScript annotator. flpsed can add arbitrary text lines
to existing PostScript documents, but cannot remove or modify existing elements
of such documents. The added lines can later be re-edited with flpsed, either
interactively or via batch-processing (the latter is useful for repeatedly
filling in forms). Text lines can also be imported from other documents that
have been modified with flpsed.
Using pdftops, which is part of xpdf, one can convert PDF documents to
PostScript and then add text to them using flpsed. flpsed is thus useful for
filling in forms, adding notes, etc.
FontForge (formerly called PfaEdit) is a PostScript font editor which can
create and modify outline fonts in Type 1, CID-Keyed, TrueType, OpenType
format. It can generate bitmaps and save in BDF format or embedded bitmaps
in TrueType/OpenType fonts.
It can generate Type3 and SVG fonts if built with multilayer feature.
If you feel the shortage of memory, rebuilding multilayer-disabled
FontForge with FONTFORGE_NO_MULTILAYER defined will save some memory.
If you have installed AutoTrace or Potrace, you can generate outlines
from imported bitmap images.

Scientific software for performing large computations is typically managed
using textual control files that specify the parameters of the computation.
Historically, these control files have typically consisted of long,
inflexible collections of numbers whose meaning and format is hard-coded
into the program. With libctl, we make it easy for programmers to support
a greatly superior control file structure, and with less effort than was
required for traditional input formats.
The "ctl" in "libctl" stands for Control Language (by convention, libctl
control files end with ".ctl" and are referred to as ctl files). Thus,
libctl is the Control Language Library (where the "lib" prefix follows the
Unix idiom).
