Information for 9wm-1.1nb1: Description: 9wm Version 1.1 Copyright 1994 David Hogan. What is 9wm? ============ 9wm is an X window manager which attempts to emulate the Plan 9 window manager 8-1/2 as far as possible within the constraints imposed by X. It provides a simple yet comfortable user interface, without garish decorations or title-bars. Or icons. And it's click-to-type. This will not appeal to everybody, but if you're not put off yet then read on. (And don't knock it until you've tried it). One major difference between 9wm and 8-1/2 is that the latter provides windows of text with a typescript interface, and doesn't need to run a separate program to emulate a terminal. 9wm, as an X window manager, does require a separate program. For better 8-1/2 emulation, you should obtain Matthew Farrow's "9term" program (ftp://ftp.cs.su.oz.au/matty/unicode), version 1.6 or later (earlier versions don't cooperate with 9wm in implementing "hold mode"). Of course, you can run xterm under 9wm as well.

It uses the virtual memory hardware of your system to detect when software overruns the boundaries of a malloc() buffer. It will also detect any accesses of memory that has been released by free(). Because it uses the VM hardware for detection, Electric Fence stops your program on the first instruction that causes a bounds violation. It's then trivial to use a debugger to display the offending statement.

Homepage: http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ Information for Hermes-1.3.3: Description: Hermes is intended for use in graphics libraries or directly in graphics programs. In the beginning the goal was to provide the fastest possible routines for the purpose Hermes was designed for, thus the target were fast graphics libraries for games and the sort. However, lately more and more choice for high-quality rendering is being built in so things like photorealistic rendering software might profit from the speed of Hermes in the very near future. The library is straight-forward to use. There are about 8 functions you will need to know about for a simple application and probably twice as many for a more complicated one. It should take about 10 minutes to build Hermes into your code.

Homepage: http://orbit-resource.sourceforge.net/ Information for OpenSceneGraph-0.9.9: Description: Homepage: http://www.openscenegraph.org/ Information for R-2.1.1: Description: R is a language which bears a passing resemblance to the S language developed at AT&T Bell Laboratories. It provides support for a variety of statistical and graphical analyses. R is a true computer language which contains a number of control-flow constructions for iteration and alternation. It allows users to add additional functionality by defining new functions. On platforms which support the dlopen (3) interface, Fortran and C code can be linked and called at run time. R is very close to S in both syntax and semantics, but is not identical. Whether this is a bug or feature is an open question. Homepage: http://www.R-project.org/ Information for RScheme-0.7.3.2: Description: RScheme is an object-oriented, extended version of the Scheme dialect of Lisp. RScheme is freely redistributable, and offers reasonable performance despite being extraordinarily portable. RScheme can be compiled to C, and the C can then compiled with a normal C compiler to generate machine code. This can be done from a running system, and the resulting object code can be dynamically linked into RScheme as a program executes. By default, however, RScheme compiles to bytecodes which are interpreted by a (runtime) virtual machine. This ensures that compilation is fast and keeps code size down. In general, we recommend using the (default) bytecode code generation system, and only compiling your time-critical code to machine code. This allows a nice adjustment of space/time tradeoffs. To the casual user, RScheme appears to be an interpreter. You can type RScheme code at a read-eval-print loop, and it executes the code and prints the result. In reality, every expression you type to the read-eval-print-loop is compiled and the resulting code is executed.

As a result, there is no support available other than users helping each other on the Amanda mailing lists. See below for information on the mailing lists. WHAT IS AMANDA? --------------- This is a release of Amanda, the Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver. Amanda is a backup system designed to archive many computers on a network to a single large-capacity tape drive. Here are some features of Amanda: * written in C, freely distributable. * built on top of standard backup software: Unix dump/restore, GNU Tar and others. * will back up multiple machines in parallel to a holding disk, blasting finished dumps one by one to tape as fast as we can write files to tape. For example, a ~2 Gb 8mm tape on a ~240K/s interface to a host with a large holding disk can be filled by Amanda in under 4 hours. * does simple tape management: will not overwrite the wrong tape. * supports tape changers via a generic interface. Easily customizable to any type of tape carousel, robot, or stacker that can be controlled via the unix command line. * supports Kerberos 4 security, including encrypted dumps. The Kerberos support is available as a separate add-on package, see the file KERBEROS.HOW-TO-GET on the ftp site, and the file docs/KERBEROS in this package, for more details. * for a restore, tells you what tapes you need, and finds the proper backup image on the tape for you. * recovers gracefully from errors, including down or hung machines. * reports results, including all errors in detail, in email. * will dynamically adjust backup schedule to keep within constraints: no more juggling by hand when adding disks and computers to network. * includes a pre-run checker program, that conducts sanity checks on both the tape server host and all the client hosts (in parallel), and will send an e-mail report of any problems that could cause the backups to fail. * can compress dumps before sending or after sending over the net, with either compress or gzip. * can optionally synchronize with external backups, for those large timesharing computers where you want to do full dumps when the system is down in single-user mode (since BSD dump is not reliable on active filesystems): Amanda will still do your daily dumps. * lots of other options; Amanda is very configurable. WHAT ARE THE SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS FOR AMANDA? -------------------------------------------- Amanda requires a host that is mostly idle during the time backups are done, with a large capacity tape drive (e.g. an EXABYTE, DAT or DLT tape). This becomes the "tape server host". All the computers you are going to dump are the "backup client hosts". The server host can also be a client host. Amanda works best with one or more large "holding disk" partitions on the server host available to it for buffering dumps before writing to tape. The holding disk allows Amanda to run backups in parallel to the disk, only writing them to tape when the backup is finished. Note that the holding disk is not required: without it Amanda will run backups sequentially to the tape drive. Running it this way kills the great performance, but still allows you to take advantage of Amanda's other features. As a rule of thumb, for best performance the holding disk should be larger than the dump output from your largest disk partitions. For example, if you are backing up some full gigabyte disks that compress down to 500 MB, then you'll want 500 MB on your holding disk. On the other hand, if those gigabyte drives are partitioned into 500 MB filesystems, they'll probably compress down to 250 MB and you'll only need that much on your holding disk. Amanda will perform better with larger holding disks. Actually, Amanda will still work if you have full dumps that are larger than the holding disk: Amanda will send those dumps directly to tape one at a time. If you have many such dumps you will be limited by the dump speed of those machines. Amanda does not yet support single backup images larger than a tape. WHAT SYSTEMS DOES AMANDA RUN ON? -------------------------------- Amanda should run on any modern Unix system that supports dump or GNU tar, has sockets and inetd, and either system V shared memory, or BSD mmap implemented. In particular, Amanda 2.4.0 has been compiled, and the client side tested on the following systems: AIX 3.2 and 4.1 BSDI BSD/OS 2.1 and 3.1 DEC OSF/1 3.2 and 4.0 FreeBSD 2.2.5 IRIX 5.2 and 6.3 Linux/GNU on x86, alpha and sparc NetBSD 1.0 Nextstep 3 (*) SunOS 4.1.x (x >= 1) and 5.[56] Ultrix 4.2 HP-UX 9.x and 10.x (x >= 01) The Amanda 2.4.0 server side is known to run on all of the other machines except on those marked with an asterisk. If you know of any system that is not listed here on which amanda builds successfully, either client&server or client-only, please report to amanda-hackers@amanda.org. WHERE DO I GET AMANDA? ---------------------- There are several versions of Amanda. The latest version at the time of this writing is available at: ftp://ftp.amanda.org/pub/amanda HOW DO I GET AMANDA UP AND RUNNING? ----------------------------------- Read the file docs/INSTALL. There are a variety of steps, from compiling Amanda to installing it on the tape server host and the client machines. docs/INSTALL contains general installation instructions. docs/SYSTEM.NOTES contains system-specific information. docs/FAQ contains answers to frequently asked questions. docs/KERBEROS explains installation under Kerberos 4. docs/TAPE.CHANGERS explains how to customize the changer interface. docs/WHATS.NEW details new features.

WHAT ARE THE SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS FOR AMANDA? -------------------------------------------- Amanda requires a host that is mostly idle during the time backups are done, with a large capacity tape drive (e.g. an EXABYTE, DAT or DLT tape). This becomes the "tape server host". All the computers you are going to dump are the "backup client hosts". The server host can also be a client host. Amanda works best with one or more large "holding disk" partitions on the server host available to it for buffering dumps before writing to tape. The holding disk allows Amanda to run backups in parallel to the disk, only writing them to tape when the backup is finished. Note that the holding disk is not required: without it Amanda will run backups sequentially to the tape drive. Running it this way kills the great performance, but still allows you to take advantage of Amanda's other features. As a rule of thumb, for best performance the holding disk should be larger than the dump output from your largest disk partitions. For example, if you are backing up some full gigabyte disks that compress down to 500 MB, then you'll want 500 MB on your holding disk. On the other hand, if those gigabyte drives are partitioned into 500 MB filesystems, they'll probably compress down to 250 MB and you'll only need that much on your holding disk. Amanda will perform better with larger holding disks. Actually, Amanda will still work if you have full dumps that are larger than the holding disk: Amanda will send those dumps directly to tape one at a time. If you have many such dumps you will be limited by the dump speed of those machines. Amanda does not yet support single backup images larger than a tape. WHAT SYSTEMS DOES AMANDA RUN ON? -------------------------------- Amanda should run on any modern Unix system that supports dump or GNU tar, has sockets and inetd, and either system V shared memory, or BSD mmap implemented. In particular, Amanda 2.4.1p1 has been compiled, and the client side tested on the following systems: AIX 3.2 and 4.1 BSDI BSD/OS 2.1 and 3.1 DEC OSF/1 3.2 and 4.0 FreeBSD 2.2.5 IRIX 5.2 and 6.3 GNU/Linux on x86, alpha, sparc, arm and powerpc NetBSD 1.0 Nextstep 3 (*) OpenBSD 2.5 x86, sparc, etc (ports available) SunOS 4.1.x (x >= 1) and 5.[567] Ultrix 4.2 HP-UX 9.x and 10.x (x >= 01) The Amanda 2.4.1p1 server side is known to run on all of the other machines except on those marked with an asterisk. If you know of any system that is not listed here on which amanda builds successfully, either client&server or client-only, please report to amanda-hackers@amanda.org. WHERE DO I GET AMANDA? ---------------------- There are several versions of Amanda. The latest version at the time of this writing is available at: ftp://ftp.amanda.org/pub/amanda HOW DO I GET AMANDA UP AND RUNNING? ----------------------------------- Read the file docs/INSTALL. There are a variety of steps, from compiling Amanda to installing it on the tape server host and the client machines. docs/INSTALL contains general installation instructions. docs/SYSTEM.NOTES contains system-specific information. docs/FAQ contains answers to frequently asked questions. docs/KERBEROS explains installation under Kerberos 4. docs/TAPE.CHANGERS explains how to customize the changer interface. docs/WHATS.NEW details new features.

Moreover, some editors by default insert spaces instead of tabs when pressing the tab key, and other editors (Emacs for example) have the ability to "pretty up" lines by automatically setting up the white space before the code on the line, possibly inserting spaces in a code that up to now used only tabs for indentation. Since the NUMBER of space characters showed on screen for each tab character in the source code changes between editors (until the user sets up the number to his liking...), one of the standard problems facing programmers when moving from one source code editor to another is that code containing both spaces and tabs that was up to now perfectly indented, suddently becomes a mess to look at when changing to another editor. Even if you as a programmer take care to ONLY use spaces or tabs, looking at other peoples source code can still be problematic. To address this problem I have created Artistic Style - a series of filters, written in C++, that automatically reindent & reformat C/C++/Java source files. These can be used from a command line, or it can be incorporated as classes in another C++ program.

Information for awka-0.7.5: Description: Awka is an open-source implementation of the AWK programming language. Awka is not an interpreter like Gawk, Mawk or Nawk, but instead it converts the program to ANSI-C, then compiles this using gcc or a native C compiled to create a binary executable. As of version 0.7.0, you can write C functions and compile them into a library, then have these functions available for use in AWK scripts as if they were builtin. From now on, using Awka you are no longer bound to the limited AWK universe plus a few extras. You are free to extend functionality in whatever direction C allows you, and have this available within the concise, elegant AWK language framework. You may distribute the executable, without having to provide the source code for your AWK program. Please note, however, that executables using Awka must be distributed free of charge. Note that using the optional dfa library that accompanies awka, or compiling awka under cygwin, will subject translated C source code to the GPL, but not the AWK source. Translating AWK programs to C means you can link them with C & C++ code, thus extending functionality way beyond what is possible in interpretive AWK. Awka-generated executables perform comparatively with, and in many cases faster than, the quickest freely-available AWK interpreter. Homepage: http://awka.sourceforge.net/ Information for baci-20000725: Description: BACI stands for Ben-Ari Concurrent Interpreter. The compiler and interpreter originally were procedures in a program written by M. Ben-Ari, based on the original Pascal compiler by Niklaus Wirth. The original version of the BACI compiler and interpreter was created from that source code and was hosted on a PRIME mainframe. After several modifications and additions, this version was ported to a PC version in Turbo Pascal, to Sun Pascal, and to C. Finally, the compiler and interpreter were split into two seperate programs. Recently, a C-- compiler has been added to the BACI suite of programs to compile source programs written in a restricted dialect of C++ into PCODE object code executable by the interpreter. Compared with other concurrent languages, BACI offers a variety of synchronization techniques with a syntax that is usually familiar. Any experienced C or Pascal programmer could use BACI within hours.

Homepage: http://bochs.sourceforge.net/ Information for boehm-gc-6.3nb2: Description: The Boehm-Weiser garbage collection package, for C and C++ - garbage collection and memory leak detection libraries. A garbage collector is something which automatically frees malloc'd memory for you by working out what parts of memory your program no longer has pointers to. As a result, garbage collectors can also inform you of memory leaks (if they find memory they can free, it means you have lost all of your pointers to it, but you didn't free it). This package has two libraries and some include files: libgc.a - a garbage collection library, replaces malloc/free/new/delete/etc with versions that do automatic garbage collection libleak.a - a leak detection library, which is just libgc.a compiled with different switches. C programs may be linked against either of these, and should run (with GC or leak detection) without change. C++ programs must include a header to use garbage collection, though leak detection should work without such source code modifications. See the man page and header files. PS: garbage collection is addictive.

It can accept a command line argument, in which case it executes that single command and exits. Otherwise it enters interactive mode. In this mode, it accepts commands one at a time, processes them, and displays the answers. In the simplest case, commands are simply expressions which are evaluated. For example, he following line can be input: > 3 * (4 + 1) and the calculator will print 15. Commands are statements in a C-like language, where each input line is treated as the body of a procedure. Thus he copmmand line can contain variable declarations, expressions, labels, conditional tests, and loops. Assignments to any variable name will automatically define that name as a global variable.

In either case, cscope searches the standard directories for #include files that it does not find in the current directory. cscope uses a symbol cross-reference, cscope.out by default, to locate functions, function calls, macros, variables, and preprocessor symbols in the files. cscope builds the symbol cross-reference the first time it is used on the source files for the program being browsed. On a subsequent invocation, cscope rebuilds the cross-reference only if a source file has changed or the list of source files is different. When the cross-reference is rebuilt, the data for the unchanged files are copied from the old cross-reference, which makes rebuilding faster than the initial build.

In database terminology, these storage structures and the code that operates on them are called access methods. The library includes support for the following access methods: * B+tree: Stores keys in sorted order, using either a programmer-supplied ordering function or a default function that does lexicographical ordering of keys. Applications may perform equality or range searches. * Hashing: Stores records in a hash table for fast searches based on strict equality. Extended Linear Hashing modifies the hash function used by the table as new records are inserted, in order to keep buckets underfull in the steady state. * Fixed and Variable-Length Records: Stores fixed- or variable-length records in sequential order. Record numbers may be immutable or mutable, i.e., permitting new records to be inserted between existing records or requiring that new records be added only at the end of the database.

Information for elisp-manual-21-2.8: Description: Most of the GNU Emacs text editor is written in the programming language called Emacs Lisp. You can write new code in Emacs Lisp and install it as an extension to the editor. However, Emacs Lisp is more than a mere ``extension language''; it is a full computer programming language in its own right. You can use it as you would any other programming language. Because Emacs Lisp is designed for use in an editor, it has special features for scanning and parsing text as well as features for handling files, buffers, displays, subprocesses, and so on. Emacs Lisp is closely integrated with the editing facilities; thus, editing commands are functions that can also conveniently be called from Lisp programs, and parameters for customization are ordinary Lisp variables. This manual attempts to be a full description of Emacs Lisp. For a beginner's introduction to Emacs Lisp, see ``An Introduction to Emacs Lisp Programming,'' by Bob Chassell, also published by the Free Software Foundation. This manual presumes considerable familiarity with the use of Emacs for editing; see ``The GNU Emacs Manual'' for this basic information. Generally speaking, the earlier chapters describe features of Emacs Lisp that have counterparts in many programming languages, and later chapters describe features that are peculiar to Emacs Lisp or relate specifically to editing.

Enchant is meant to provide a generic interface into various existing spell checking libaries. These include, but are not limited to: * Aspell/Pspell * Ispell * Hspell * Uspell Enchant is also meant to be used in a cross-platform (XP) environment. Part of this means that Enchant wants to limit its number of external dependencies to 0, or as close is as humanly possible. Also, any enchant consumer (i.e. a Word Processor) should not need to know about what backend providers Enchant knows about. In fact, Enchant shouldn't even need to know this information itself. To accomplish this, all of Enchant's providers are DLLs. Enchant is also meant to be used in a multi-user environment, such as Unix. It is preferable to have both a $USER and a $GLOBAL location for both provider DLLs and for dictionaries themselves, when possible. Enchant's DLL location algorithm takes this into account, and gives preference to the $USER DLLs, when found.

Information for fam-2.7.0nb5: Description: FAM, the File Alteration Monitor, provides an API which applications can use to be notified when specific files or directories are changed. FAM comes in two parts: fam, the daemon which listens for requests and delivers notification, and libfam, a library which client applications can use to communicate with fam. If the monitored files are mounted from a remote host, the local FAM will attempt to contact FAM on the remote host, and will pass the requests on to the remote FAM. FAM can also notify its clients when a file starts and stops execution. (The IRIX Interactive Desktop uses this to change a program's icon while it's running, for example.) FAM was originally written for IRIX in 1989 by Bruce Karsh, and was rewritten in 1995 by Bob Miller. This open-source release of FAM builds and runs on NetBSD, FreeBSD, Linux, and IRIX, and is the same FAM that will be included with IRIX 6.5.8.

This facility is hardly intrusive. It requires no help. Flyspell highlights incorrect words as soon as they are completed or as soon as the cursor hits a new word. Flyspell is language independent because you are free to select your own dictionary. Flyspell is compatible with TeX editing. That is, Flyspell tries, as much as possible, to avoid highlighting TeX command. Flyspell proposes corrections for miss-spelled words by the means of pop-up menus. Alternatively you will be able to store the word in the global dictionary, to add it to the current document dictionary or to ignore the miss-spelling for the current session. Flyspell also proposes automatic corrections.

This version of rdist is not directly compatible with rdist distributed with 4.3BSD and subsequent vendor releases, but does indirectly provide full backward compatibility. See COMPATIBILITY below for details. This version of rdist does not need to be setuid "root" at all. Rdist now uses the rsh(1c) [remote command] program to make connections to remote hosts, instead of making the connection directly. This eliminates the need to be run as "root". Many thanks to Chris Siebenmann and John DiMarco who came up with an rsh version of rcmd() that makes this possible.

Homepage: http://katz.linuxpower.org/freezetag/ Information for fribidi-0.10.4nb1: Description: Free Implementation of the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm. The library implements all of the algorithm as described in the "Unicode Standard Annex #9, The Bidirectional Algorithm, http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr9/". FriBidi is exhautively tested against Bidi Reference Code, and due to our best knowledge, does not contain any conformance bugs. In the API, we were inspired by the document "Bi-Di languages support - BiDi API proposal" by Franck Portaneri which he wrote as a proposal for adding BiDi support to Mozilla. Internally the library uses Unicode entirely. The character property function was automatically created from the Unicode property list data file, PropList.txt, available from the Unicode Online Data site. This means that every Unicode character will be treated in strict accordance with the Unicode specification. The same is true for the mirroring of characters, which also works for all the characters listed as mirrorable in the Unicode specification.

Homepage: http://www.lysator.liu.se/fsh/ Information for ftnchek-3.2.2: Description: Ftnchek (short for Fortran checker) is designed to detect certain errors in a Fortran program that a compiler usually does not. ftnchek is not primarily intended to detect syntax errors. Its purpose is to assist the user in finding semantic errors. Semantic errors are legal in the Fortran language but are wasteful or may cause incorrect operation. For example, variables which are never used may indicate some omission in the program; uninitialized variables contain garbage which may cause incorrect results to be calculated; and variables which are not declared may not have the intended type. ftnchek is intended to assist users in the debugging of their Fortran program. It is not intended to catch all syntax errors. This is the function of the compiler. Prior to using ftnchek, the user should verify that the program compiles correctly. Homepage: http://www.dsm.fordham.edu/~ftnchek/ Information for fvwm1-1.24r: Description: Fvwm is a very famous window manager for X, which provides a virtual/multiple disjoint desktop, a 3-D look for windows decorations, shaped/color icons.

This is particularly useful in World Wide Web applications, where .PNG is one of the formats accepted for inline images by most browsers. gd is not a paint program. If you are looking for a paint program, you are looking in the wrong place. If you are not a programmer, you are looking in the wrong place. gd does not provide for every possible desirable graphics operation. It is not necessary or desirable for gd to become a kitchen-sink graphics package, but incorporates most of the commonly requested features for an 8-bit 2D package.

Homepage: http://www.gnome.org/ Information for gdm-2.8.0.1: Description: GDM is the GNOME Display Manager, it is the little proggie that runs in the background, runs your X sessions, presents you with a login box and then tells you to piss off because you forgot your password. It does pretty much everything that you would want to use xdm for, but doesn't involve as much crack. It doesn't use any code from xdm, and has a more paranoid and safer design overall. It also includes many features over xdm, the biggest one of which is that it is more user friendly, even if your X setup is failing. The goal is that users should never, ever have to use the command line to customize or troubleshoot gdm. It of course supports xdmcp, and in fact extends xdmcp a little bit in places where I thought xdm was lacking (but is still compatible with xdm's xdmcp).

Homepage: http://gedit.sourceforge.net/ Information for geekos-0.3.0: Description: GeekOS is a tiny operating system kernel for x86 PCs. Its main purpose is to serve as a simple but realistic example of an OS kernel running on real hardware. (Actually, most of the development is done on the Bochs emulator.) GeekOS is in a very early stage of development, so don't expect it to do anything useful. However, if you're interested in operating systems development and are looking for a simple OS kernel to experiment with, GeekOS might be what you're looking for.

The viewport can be zoomed in and out, and can xoom in on selected regions. geg is easy to use, good looking, compact and customisable. Homepage: http://www.infolaunch.com/~daveb/ Information for geomview-1.8.1nb4: Description: Geomview is the product of an effort at the Geometry Center at the University of Minnesota to provide interactive geometry software which is particularly appropriate for mathematics research and education. In particular, geomview can display things in hyperbolic and spherical space as well as Euclidean space. Geomview allows multiple independently controllable objects and cameras. It provides interactive control for motion, appearances (including lighting, shading, and materials), picking on an object, edge or vertex level, snapshots in SGI image file or Renderman RIB format, and adding or deleting objects is provided through direct mouse manipulation, control panels, and keyboard shortcuts. External programs can drive desired aspects of the viewer (such as continually loading changing geometry or controlling the motion of certain objects) while allowing interactive control of everything else. Geomview supports the following simple data types: polyhedra with shared vertices (.off), quadrilaterals, rectangular meshes, vectors, and Bezier surface patches of arbitrary degree including rational patches. Object hierarchies can be constructed with lists of objects and instances of object(s) transformed by one or many 4x4 matrices. Arbitrary portions of changing hierarchies may be transmitted by creating named references. Homepage: http://www.geomview.org/ Information for geoslab703-ttf-20010522nb2: Description: This package installs two free TrueType fonts, they are useful for web viewing. The typeface is Geometric Slabserif 703, which is Bitstream's version of Memphis a typeface designed in 1930 by Rudolph Weiss. While it may seem odd that a typeface designed 65 years ago would look good on-screen today, the reason has to do with the shape of the letterforms themselves. They have a simple, geometric shape, and their serifs (the small protrusions from the ends of the letter) are in the "slab" family, which means they, too, are simple. The "x-height" (the height of the lowercase letter "x") is relatively large, but not so large that it makes reading difficult in the web where there is little real control over leading (the space between the lines). Bitstream is supplying these typefaces to help you see the importance of type on the web. Once you see how different web pages can look just by changing the typeface, and how much easier they can be to read, you'll see the importance of typographic choice on the web.

Homepage: http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/forth/gforth/ Information for ggv-2.8.5: Description: GGv is the Gnome Postscript and PDF viewer program. The name comes from GhostView, a non-gnome GNU postscript viewer application on which GGv is based. GGv is a frontend for GhostScript, an interpreter of PostScript that is able to properly render PostScript documents in a display or a printer. GGv serves as a layer that isolates the user from the cumbersome options and interface of GhostScript, and, at the same time, gives extra features such as panning and persistent user settings. The main features that make me personally like ggv are its antialiasing (use the preferences dialog to turn it on and reload the document -- your eyes will pop out of their sockets so be careful) and nice user interface, allowing e.g. dragging of postscript files into GGv, moving the postscript display by dragging the mouse in the pager window or the main window. GGv can display more than one document at the same time. Also, the transparent support for compressed postscript and pdf are handy. This is the version of GGv for GNOME 2.

It has a rich set of functions, and the functions have a regular interface. GNU MP is designed to be as fast as possible, both for small operands and for huge operands. The speed is achieved by using fullwords as the basic arithmetic type, by using fast algorithms, by carefully optimized assembly code for the most common inner loops for a lots of CPUs, and by a general emphasis on speed (instead of simplicity or elegance). The speed of GNU MP is believed to be faster than any other similar library. The advantage for GNU MP increases with the operand sizes for certain operations, since GNU MP in many cases has asymptotically faster algorithms.

After that I had plans to improve speed, archive handling etc. which would have required total rewrite of the code. For that I unfortunately could not find time. Because there has been quite considerably interest for internals of HA (especially for the HSC compression method) I decided to make a source level release from my current test version (0.999 beta) and place it under GNU General Public License. The sources for this version are not very consistent or clean, but everything should work. There are several improvements which should be made before this could be called version 1.0. Some of the most obvious of these are: - Compression methods should be coded in assembler for PC and using more efficient data structures for 32 bit platforms. Current version does some things only to overcome 64kB segments of 8086. - UNIX port has still some problems and is missing some things (for example a grouping operator in wildcard matches). - File handling is far from optimum. - Archive handling is not too clever either. - Testing should be done more thoroughly as there are many special cases in compression routines which get used very rarely. - Documentation of code and algorithms is totally missing.

Homepage: http://www.easysw.com/htmldoc/ Information for hugs98-200112nb1: Description: The Nottingham and Yale Haskell interpreter and programming environment. Nottingham and Yale are pleased to announce a new release of Hugs, a Haskell interpreter and programming environment for developing cool Haskell programs. Sources and binaries are freely available by anonymous FTP and on the World-Wide Web. This release is largely conformant with Haskell 1.4, including monad and record syntax, newtypes, strictness annotations, and modules. In addition, it comes packaged with the libraries defined in the most recent version of the Haskell Library Report and with extension libraries which are compatible with GHC 3.0. Hugs is best used as a Haskell program development system: it boasts extremely fast compilation, supports incremental compilation, and has the convenience of an interactive interpreter (within which one can move from module to module to test different portions of a program). However, being an interpreter, it does not nearly match the run-time performance of, for example, GHC or HBC. Homepage: http://www.haskell.org/hugs/ Information for icb-5.0.9pl1: Description: This is a chat client similar to irc, but for the icb protocol. Virtually nobody uses it these days. Homepage: http://www.icb.net/ Information for icewm-1.2.9nb2: Description: IceWM provides a small, fast and familiar window manager for the X11 window system. Compatibility with the mwm window manager is desired and will be implemented where appropriate. IceWM is designed to emulate the look of Motif, OS/2 Warp 4, OS/2 Warp 3 and Windows 95. It also tries to combine the feel of these systems whenever it is compatible. Others might added in the future in the core distribution, though many themes are available through the network. Generally, it tries to make all functions available both by keyboard and by mouse (this is not currently possible when using mouse focus). This package provides IceWM linked against the Xpm library for graphics support, which means that only Xpm files are supported as images. Homepage: http://icewm.sourceforge.net/ Information for icon-9.4.2: Description: Icon is a high-level programming language with extensive facilities for processing strings and structures. Icon has several novel features, including expressions that may produce sequences of results, goal-directed evaluation that automatically searches for a successful result, and string scanning that allows operations on strings to be formulated at a high conceptual level. Icon emphasizes high-level string processing and a design phi- losophy that allows ease of programming and short, concise pro- grams. Storage allocation and garbage collection are automatic in Icon, and there are few restrictions on the sizes of objects. Strings, lists, and other structures are created during program execution and their size does not need to be known when a program is written. Values are converted to expected types automati- cally; for example, numeral strings read in as input can be used in numerical computations without explicit conversion. Icon has an expression-based syntax with reserved words; in appearance, Icon programs resemble those of Pascal and C. The language is described in R. E. Griswold and M. T. Griswold, The Icon Programming Language, Prentice-Hall, Inc., Englewood Cliffs, NJ, second edition, 1990. Homepage: http://www.cs.arizona.edu/icon/index.htm Information for id-utils-3.2nb4: Description: `mkid' is a simple, fast, high-capacity, language-independent identifier database tool.

Database queries can be issued from the command-line, or from within emacs, serving as an augmented tags facility. `mkid' was originally written by Greg McGary and posted to comp.sources.unix in September 1987. It was then maintained and enhanced by a loose knit group of programmers on the Internet led by Tom Horsley . Tom released `mkid2' on comp.sources.unix in March, 1991. Since then, Greg McGary has resumed maintenance and is releasing an improved version 3 under GPL. Version 3 is an interim release. Version 4 will follow in the coming months and include a cscope clone plus other improvements.

The software is distributed in source code form, and developers can compile and link the source code into a single library for inclusion directly in their applications. Developers may choose to store data in any of several different storage structures to satisfy the requirements of a particular application. In database terminology, these storage structures and the code that operates on them are called access methods. The library includes support for the following access methods: * B+tree: Stores keys in sorted order, using either a programmer-supplied ordering function or a default function that does lexicographical ordering of keys. Applications may perform equality or range searches. * Hashing: Stores records in a hash table for fast searches based on strict equality. Extended Linear Hashing modifies the hash function used by the table as new records are inserted, in order to keep buckets underfull in the steady state. * Fixed and Variable-Length Records: Stores fixed- or variable-length records in sequential order. Record numbers may be immutable or mutable, i.e., permitting new records to be inserted between existing records or requiring that new records be added only at the end of the database.

Information for joos-0.2: Description: Joos is an acronym for Java's Object-Oriented Subset. JOOS is a proper subset of Java, defined as follows: * its context-free syntax is restricted to the following grammar; * subclassing must not change the signature of a method; * declarations of locals must all be in the beginning of the statement sequence in a block; * protected fields cannot be accessed from without the class or its subclasses; and * every path through a non-void method must return a value. In addition, JOOS defines a concept of extern classes, which provide a convenient interface to the Java libraries without requiring the compiler to parse Java class files. It defines a class name and some method signatures, along with a file name that is guaranteed to provide the implementation. The JOOS compiler will implicitly trust this specification. If it is incorrect, then the compiled JOOS class file may fail at class loading time. JOOS is used for teaching students about compilers.

LAME started life as a GPL'd patch against the dist10 ISO demonstration source, and thus was incapable of producing an mp3 stream or even being compiled by itself. But in May 2000, the last remnants of the ISO source code were replaced, and now LAME is the source code for a fully GPL'd MP3 encoder, with speed and quality to rival all commercial competitors. LAME is an educational tool to be used for learning about MP3 encoding. The goal of the LAME project is to use the open source model to improve the psycho acoustics, noise shaping and speed of MP3. Another goal of the LAME project is to use these improvements for the basis of a patent free audio compression codec for the GNU project.

Homepage: http://www2m.biglobe.ne.jp/~dolphin/lha/lha-unix.htm Information for libIDL-0.8.6: Description: libIDL is a library licensed under the GNU LGPL for creating trees of CORBA Interface Definition Language (IDL) files, which is a specification for defining portable interfaces. libIDL was initially written for ORBit (the ORB from the GNOME project, and the primary means of libIDL distribution). However, the functionality was designed to be as reusable and portable as possible. It is written in C, and the aim is to retain the ability to compile it on a system with a standard C compiler. Preprocessed parser files are included so you are not forced to rebuild the parser, however an effort is made to keep the parser and lexer compatible with standard Unix yacc. Currently, flex is required to generate the lexical scanner. With libIDL, you can parse an IDL file which will be automatically run through the C preprocessor (on systems with one available), and have detailed error and warning messages displayed. On a compilation without errors, the tree is returned to the custom application. libIDL performs compilation phases from lexical analysis to nearly full semantic analysis with some optimizations, and will attempt to generate meaningful errors and warnings for invalid or deprecated IDL.

Homepage: http://www.freespiders.org/projects/libcroco/ Information for libctl-2.2nb1: Description: 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. All of these goals are achieved by libctl with the help of Guile, the GNU scripting and extensibility language. Guile does all of the hard work for us, and allows us to embed a complete interpreter in a program with minimal effort. Despite its power, libctl is designed to be easy to use. A basic user only sees a convenient file format with a programming language to back it up if her needs become more complex. For the programmer, all headaches associated with reading input files are lifted--once an abstract specification is supplied, all interaction with the user is handled automatically. Homepage: http://ab-initio.mit.edu/libctl/ Information for libdockapp-0.4.0: Description: libdockapp is a simple (trivial) library for writing Window Maker dock applications, or dockapps (those that only show up in the dock), easily.

Homepage: http://www.primate.wisc.edu/software/ETM/ Information for libevent-1.1a: Description: The libevent API provides a mechanism to execute a callback function when a specific event occurs on a file descriptor or after a timeout has been reached. libevent is meant to replace the asynchronous event loop found in event driven network servers. An application just needs to call event_dispatch() and can then add or remove events dynamically without having to change the event loop. Currently, libevent supports kqueue(2) and select(2). Support for poll(2) and /dev/poll is planned. The internal event mechanism is completely independent of the exposed event API, and a simple update of libevent can provide this new functionality without having to redesign the server applications.

There is little it does that cannot be done using routines in the C library. (In fact, allocation and disposal is implemented using C library routines.) The purposes of MemMgr are two- fold. (i) Minimize configuration burden on applications that dynamically allocate memory. For instance, malloc() on some systems returns a char pointer; on others it returns a void pointer. The MemMgr library routines encapsulate system-specific configuration differences and exports a fixed interface which is system-indepen- dent. Once you compile and install it, you just use it without thinking about whether your UNIX is System V or BSD inspired. (ii) Provide two parallel sets of allocation routines which either return NULL (for applications which want to check) or panic (for applications which simply want to die) on allocation failures. Panicking is implemented using the ETM library, which introduces a dependency on the ETM distribution. So be it. I use ETM for all my programs anyway Homepage: http://www.primate.wisc.edu/software/MemMgr/ Information for libmikmod-3.1.11.1nb1: Description: The MikMod sound library is an excellent way for a programmer to add music and sound effects to an application.

Lua is dynamically typed, interpreted from bytecodes, and has automatic memory management, making it ideal for configuration, scripting, and rapid prototyping. Lua is a language engine that you can embed into your application. This means that, besides syntax and semantics, Lua has an API that allows the application to exchange data with Lua programs and also to extend Lua with C functions. In this sense, Lua can be regarded as a language framework for building domain-specific languages. Lua is implemented as a small library of C functions, written in ANSI C, and compiles unmodified in all known platforms. The implementation goals are simplicity, efficiency, portability, and low embedding cost. The result is a fast language engine with small footprint, making it ideal in embedded systems too.

There are no icons, no button bars, no icon docks, no root menus, no nothing: if you want all that, then other programs can provide it. There's no configurability either: if you want that, you want a different window manager; one that helps your operating system in its evil conquest of your disc space and its annexation of your physical memory.

Homepage: http://www.lyx.org/ Information for lzo-2.01: Description: LZO is a portable lossless data compression library written in ANSI C. It offers pretty fast compression and very fast decompression. Decompression requires no memory. In addition there are slower compression levels achieving a quite competitive compression ratio while still decompressing at this very high speed. The LZO algorithms and implementations are copyrighted OpenSource distributed under the GNU General Public License. Homepage: http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo/ Information for lzop-1.01: Description: lzop is a file compressor which is very similar to gzip. It uses the LZO library for compression services and its main advantages over gzip are much higher compression and decompression speed (at the cost of some compression ratio). lzop is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL). Homepage: http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzop/ Information for m4-1.4nb1: Description: GNU `m4' is an implementation of the traditional UNIX macro processor. It is mostly SVR4 compatible, although it has some extensions (for example, handling more than 9 positional parameters to macros). `m4' also has builtin functions for including files, running shell commands, doing arithmetic, etc. Autoconf needs GNU `m4' for generating `configure' scripts, but not for running them. GNU `m4' was originally written by Rene Seindal, with subsequent changes by Franc,ois Pinard and other volunteers on the Internet. All names and email addresses can be found in the file `THANKS' from the GNU `m4' distribution. This is release 1.4. It is now to be considered stable, future releases are only meant to fix bugs, increase speed, or improve documentation. However... An experimental feature, which would improve `m4' usefulness, allows for changing the syntax for what is a "word" in `m4'. You should use: ./configure --enable-changeword if you want this feature compiled in. The current implementation slows down `m4' considerably and is hardly acceptable. So, it might go away, do not count on it yet. Homepage: http://www.gnu.org/directory/gnum4.html Information for mDNSResponder-107.1nb1: Description: The mDNSResponder project is a component of Bonjour, Apple's ease-of-use IP networking initiative: Apple's Bonjour software derives from the ongoing standardization work of the IETF Zero Configuration Networking Working Group: The Zeroconf Working Group has identified three requirements for Zero Configuration Networking: 1. An IP address (even when there is no DHCP server to assign one) 2. Name-to-address translation (even when there is no DNS server) 3. Discovery of Services on the network (again, without infrastucture) Requirement 1 is met by self-assigned link-local addresses, as described in "Dynamic Configuration of IPv4 Link-Local Addresses" Requirement 2 is met by sending DNS-like queries via Multicast (mDNS). Requirement 3 is met by DNS Service Dicsovery (DNS-SD). Self-assigned link-local address capability has been available since 1998, when it first appeared in Windows '98 and in Mac OS 8.5. Implementations for other platforms also exist. The mDNSResponder project allows us to meet requirements 2 and 3. It provides the ability for the user to identify hosts using names instead of dotted-decimal IP addresses, even if the user doesn't have a conventional DNS server set up. It also provides the ability for the user to discover what services are being advertised on the network, without having to know about them in advance, or configure the machines.

Operations such as comparing two times, calculating a time a given amount of time from another, or parsing international times are all easily done. Date::Manip deals only with the Gregorian calendar (the one currently in use). The Julian calendar defined leap years as every 4th year. The Gregorian calendar improved this by making every 100th year NOT a leap year, unless it was also the 400th year. The Gregorian calendar has been extrapolated back to the year 1000 AD and forward to the year 9999 AD. Note that in historical context, the Julian calendar was in use until 1582 when the Gregorian calendar was adopted by the Catholic church. Protestant countries did not accept it until later; Germany and Netherlands in 1698, British Empire in 1752, Russia in 1918. Note that the Gregorian calendar is itself imperfect. Each year is on average 26 seconds too long, which means that every 3,323 years, a day should be removed from the calendar. No attempt is made to correct for that.

Homepage: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Digest-SHA1/ Information for p5-Expect-1.15nb2: Description: The Expect for Perl module was inspired more by the functionality the Tcl tool provides than any previous Expect-like tool such as Comm.pl or chat2.pl. I've had some comments that people may not have heard of the original Tcl version of Expect, or where documentation (book form) on Expect may be obtained. The Tcl version of expect is a creation of Don Libes (libes@nist.gov). The Tcl Expect home page is http://expect.nist.gov/. Don has written an excellent in-depth tutorial of the Tcl Expect, which is _Exploring Expect_. It is the O'reilly book with the monkey on the front. Don has several references to other articles on the Expect web page. Information for p5-ExtUtils-F77-1.13nb2: Description: This module tries to figure out how to link C programs with Fortran subroutines on your system. Basically one must add a list of Fortran runtime libraries. The problem is their location and name varies with each OS/compiler combination! Information for p5-File-FlockDir-1.02nb2: Description: A flock module for Windows9x and other systems lacking a good perl flock() function (not platform specific) Rationale: flock on Win95/98 is badly broken but perl code needs to be portable. In addition, sometimes code written to use flock() on one workstation needs to be ported to running on several networked servers and clients. One way to allow this is to override perl's open(), flock(), and close(). We then get an absolute file specification for all opened files and and use it in a hash to create a unique lock for the file using the File::LockDir module from the "Perl Cookbook", by Christiansen and Torkington (O'Reilly, 1998). This module may be included in the CPAN distribution but belongs to those authors. New code has been kept to a minimum. Information for p5-File-PathConvert-0.9nb2: Description: This module provides multiplatform routines to convert paths and URLs from absolute to relative and vice versa and to split paths into volume, directory, and filename portions. Homepage: http://theory.uwinnipeg.ca/CPAN/data/File-PathConvert/ Information for p5-File-Temp-0.16nb1: Description: File::Temp - provides functions for generating temporary files This module can be used to generate temporary files (providing a filename and filehandle) or directories. Possible race conditions are avoided and some security checks are performed (eg making sure the sticky bit is set on world writeable temp directories). It could be considered to be in a beta state since it has only been tested on six operating systems. Homepage: http://search.cpan.org/dist/File-Temp/ Information for p5-FileKGlob-1.2nb2: Description: Expand a Unix file glob (wildcard) into a list of matching file names. Information for p5-HTML-Parser-3.45nb1: Description: HTML-Parser is a collection of modules that parse HTML text documents. These modules used to be part of the libwww-perl distribution, but are now unbundled in order to facilitate a separate development track. Bug reports and discussions about these modules can still be sent to the mailing list. Remember to also take a look at the HTML-Tree module collection that create and extract information from HTML syntax trees. Homepage: http://search.cpan.org/dist/HTML-Parser/ Information for p5-HTML-TableExtract-1.10nb1: Description: HTML::TableExtract is a module that simplifies the extraction of information contained in tables within HTML documents. Tables of note may be specified using Headers, Depth, Count, or some combination of the three. See the module documentation for details. Homepage: http://sourceforge.net/projects/table-extract/ Information for p5-HTML-Tagset-3.04nb2: Description: This module contains several data tables useful in various kinds of HTML parsing operations. Note that all tag names used are lowercase. Homepage: http://search.cpan.org/dist/HTML-Tagset/ Information for p5-IO-Socket-SSL-0.96nb1: Description: IO::Socket::SSL is a class implementing an object-oriented interface to SSL sockets. The class is a descendent of IO::Socket::INET and provides a subset of the base class's interface methods as well as SSL-specific methods. Homepage: http://search.cpan.org/dist/IO-Socket-SSL/ Information for p5-IO-String-1.06nb1: Description: IO::String is an IO::File (and IO::Handle) compatible class that read or write data from in-core strings. It is really just a simplification of Eryq's IO-stringy modules. As such IO::String is a replacement for IO::Scalar. Homepage: http://search.cpan.org/dist/IO-String/ Information for p5-IO-Zlib-1.01nb2: Description: The IO::Zlib module provides a Perl IO:: style interface to the Compress::Zlib package. The main advantage is that you can use an IO::Zlib object in much the same way as an IO::File object, so you can have common code that doesn't know which sort of file it is using. Information for p5-IO-stringy-2.109nb2: Description: This toolkit primarily provides modules for performing both traditional and object-oriented i/o) on things *other* than normal filehandles; in particular, IO::Scalar, IO::ScalarArray, and IO::Lines. This Perl module provides the following functions : IO::AtomicFile Write a file which is updated atomically IO::Lines I/O handle to read/write to array of lines IO::Scalar I/O handle to read/write to a string IO::ScalarArray I/O handle to read/write to array of scalars IO::Wrap Wrap old-style FHs in standard OO interface IO::WrapTie Tie your handles & retain full OO interface Homepage: http://www.zeegee.com/code/perl/IO-stringy/ Information for p5-IO-stty-0.02nb2: Description: The two perl items in this package are an stty shell script and a module for setting terminal parameters. to use the Stty.pm module stuff it in your $PERL_LIB_DIR/site_perl/IO directory. In your scripts do: use IO::Stty; IO::Stty::stty(\*TTYHANDLE, @modes); This has not been tailored to the IO::File stuff but will work with it as indicated. Before you go futzing with term parameters it's a good idea to grab the current settings and restore them when you finish. Information for p5-IO-tty-1.02nb2: Description: IO::Tty and IO::Pty provide an interface to pseudo-ttys. Information for p5-Log-Dispatch-2.10nb1: Description: Log::Dispatch is a suite of OO modules for logging messages to multiple outputs, each of which can have a minimum and maximum log level. It is designed to be easily subclassed, both for creating a new dispatcher object and particularly for creating new outputs. It also allows both global (dispatcher level) and local (logging object) message formatting callbacks which allows greater flexibility and should reduce the need for subclassing. Homepage: http://search.cpan.org/~drolsky/Log-Dispatch/ Information for p5-MIME-Base64-3.05nb2: Description: This package contains a base64 encoder/decoder and a quoted-printable encoder/decoder. These encoding methods are specified in RFC 2045 - MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions). The base64 encoding is designed to represent arbitrary sequences of octets in a form that need not be humanly readable. A 65-character subset ([A-Za-z0-9+/=]) of US-ASCII is used, enabling 6 bits to be represented per printable character. The quoted-printable encoding is intended to represent data that largely consists of bytes that correspond to printable characters in the ASCII character set. Non-printable characters are represented by a triplet consisting of the character "=" followed by two hexadecimal digits. The MIME::Base64 and MIME::QuotedPrint modules used to be part of libwww-perl package. They are now distributed separately (this package). The main improvement is that the base64 encoder/decoder is implemented by XS functions. This makes it about 20 times faster than the old implementation in perl. Homepage: http://search.cpan.org/dist/MIME-Base64/ Information for p5-MP3-Info-1.01nb3: Description: This is MP3::Info, for getting info out of and into MP3 files. This release has two small bugfixes, one for better rendering of ID3v2 data in get_mp3tag, and one for dealing with some possibly broken MP3s. A wrapper module is included so scripts calling MPEG::MP3Info (the old name) will still work. Homepage: http://search.cpan.org/search?module=MP3::Info Information for p5-Make-1.00nb2: Description: Pmake is a Perl replacement of 'make' command. It uses 'Make' module, which is also included this package. This means that with 'Make' module you can use any information in makefiles. Homepage: http://www.ni-s.u-net.com/ Information for p5-Math-BigInteger-1.0nb2: Description: The BigInteger extension module gives access to Eric Young's bignum library. This provides a faster alternative to the Math::BigInt library. The basic object in this library is a BigInteger. It is used to hold a single large integer. Information for p5-Math-Interpolate-1.05nb2: Description: Math::Interpolate This module contains several useful routines for interpolating data sets and finding where a given value lies in a sorted list. Information for p5-Math-MatrixReal-1.3a5nb2: Description: Math::MatrixReal - Matrix of Reals This module includes many important matrix operations and methods: matrix norm, matrix transposition, matrix inverse, determinant of a matrix, order and numerical condition of a matrix, scalar product of vectors, vector product of vectors, vector length, projection of row and column vectors, a comfortable way for reading in a matrix from a file, the keyboard or your code, and many more. Systems of linear equations may be solved using an efficient algorithm known as "L-R-decomposition" and several approximative (iterative) methods. The Householder transformation and QL decomposition for the determination of the eigensystem of a real symmetric matrix are also implemented. The module also features an implementation of Kleene's algorithm to compute the minimal costs for all paths in a graph with weighted edges (the "weights" being the costs associated with each edge). Information for p5-Memoize-1.01nb2: Description: `Memoizing' a function makes it faster by trading space for time. It does this by caching the return values of the function in a table. If you call the function again with the same arguments, C jmups in and gives you the value out of the table, instead of letting the function compute the value all over again. Homepage: http://perl.plover.com/Memoize/ Information for p5-Module-Build-0.2610nb1: Description: Module::Build is a system for building, testing, and installing Perl modules. It is meant to be a replacement for ExtUtils::MakeMaker. Developers may alter the behavior of the module through subclassing in a much more straightforward way than with MakeMaker. It also does not require a make on your system - most of the Module::Build code is pure-perl and written in a very cross-platform way. Homepage: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Module-Build/ Information for p5-Net-1.19nb2: Description: Contents of perl5 Net class: Net::FTP - FTP Client class Net::Time - time and daytime network client interface Net::NNTP - NNTP Client class Net::POP3 - Post Office Protocol 3 Client class (RFC1081) Net::Cmd - Network Command class (as used by FTP, SMTP etc) Net::SMTP - Simple Mail transfer Protocol Client Net::Domain - Attempt to evaluate the current host's internet name and domain Net::Netrc - OO interface to users netrc file Homepage: http://theory.uwinnipeg.ca/CPAN/data/libnet/Net/libnetFAQ.html Information for p5-Net-SNMP-5.0.1nb1: Description: Perl 5 module for SNMP queries. This is different from the p5-SNMP package in that it does not require UCS-SNMP to be installed. Homepage: http://search.cpan.org/author/DTOWN/Net-SNMP-4.1.2/ Information for p5-Net-SSLeay-1.26nb1: Description: Net::SSLeay.pm is a perl module that allows you to call Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) functions of the SSLeay library directly from your perl scripts. It is useful if you want to program robots that access secure web servers or if you want to build your own applications over SSL encrypted tunnels. Information for p5-PV-1.4nb2: Description: I needed a basic text-mode GUI framework to implement some nice-looking proggies on Linux. Didn't find any around, so necessity became the mother of PerlVision. And this beast kept growing as I made love to Perl, so now it's far from 'basic'. Provides 90% of the features you'd want for a user interface, including checkboxes, radiobuttons, three different styles (!) of pushbuttons, single and multiple selection listboxes, an extensible editbox that does autowrapping, a scrollable viewbox, single line text entry fields, a menubar with pulldown menus, and full popup dialog boxes with multiple controls. Information for p5-Params-Validate-0.76nb1: Description: The Params::Validate module provides a flexible system for validation method/function call parameters. The validation can be as simple as checking for the presence of required parameters or as complex as validating object classes (via isa) or capabilities (via can), checking parameter types, and using customized callbacks to ensure data integrity. Homepage: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Params-Validate/ Information for p5-Parse-Yapp-1.05nb2: Description: Parse::Yapp Yet Another Perl Parser compiler. Compiles yacc-like LALR grammars to generate Perl OO parser modules. It lets you create Perl OO fully reentrant LALR(1) parser modules (see the Yapp.pm pod pages for more details) and has been designed to be functionally as close as possible to yacc, but using the full power of Perl and opened for enhancements. Information for p5-PerlMagick-6.2.3.6nb1: Description: PerlMagick is an objected-oriented Perl interface to ImageMagick. Use the module to read, manipulate, or write an image or image sequence from within a Perl script. This makes it suitable for Web CGI scripts. Homepage: http://www.simplesystems.org/ImageMagick/ Information for p5-SNMP_Session-1.07nb1: Description: This module differs from existing SNMP packages in that it is completely stand-alone, i.e. you don't need to have another SNMP package such as CMU SNMP. It is also written entirely in Perl, so you don't have to compile any C modules. It uses the Perl 5 Socket.pm module and should therefore be very portable, even to non-Unix systems. The SNMP operations currently supported are "get", "get-next", and "set", as well as trap generation and reception. For an excellent example of the type of application this is useful for, see Tobias Oetiker's ``mrtg'' (Multi Router Traffic Grapher) tool: Homepage: http://www.switch.ch/misc/leinen/snmp/perl/ Information for p5-SOAP-Lite-0.60anb2: Description: SOAP::Lite for Perl is a collection of Perl modules which provides a simple and lightweight interface to the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP, also known as Service Oriented Access Protocol) both on client and server side.

Homepage: http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/CPAN/data/Safe-Hole/Hole.html Information for p5-Storable-2.13nb1: Description: The Storable extension brings persistency to your data. You may recursively store to disk any data structure, no matter how complex and circular it is, provided it contains only SCALAR, ARRAY, HASH (possibly tied) and references (possibly blessed) to those items. At a later stage, or in another program, you may retrieve data from the stored file and recreate the same hiearchy in memory. If you had blessed references, the retrieved references are blessed into the same package, so you must make sure you have access to the same perl class as the one used to create the relevant objects. There is also a dclone() routine which performs an optimized mirroring of any data structure, preserving its topology. Objects (blessed references) may also redefine the way storage and retrieval is performed, and/or what deep cloning should do on those objects. Homepage: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Storable/ Information for p5-Term-ReadKey-2.30nb1: Description: The ReadKey module provides ioctl control for terminals so the input modes can be changed (thus allowing reads of a single character at a time), and also provides non-blocking reads of stdin, as well as several other terminal related features, including retrieval/modification of the screen size, and retrieval/modification of the control characters. Homepage: http://search.cpan.org/dist/TermReadKey/ Information for p5-Test-Cmd-1.04nb2: Description: The Test::Cmd module is a Perl class for writing portable tests of external commands or scripts. Its key features include portable interfaces for file system interaction, including management and cleanup of one or more temporary working directories. This makes it extremely well-suited for testing programs or systems that rely on specific file system characteristics (time stamps, permissions, directory structures), yet which must operate on multiple operating systems. Homepage: http://www.baldmt.com/Test-Cmd/ Information for p5-Test-Simple-0.54nb1: Description: This is an extremely simple, extremely basic module for writing tests suitable for CPAN modules and other pursuits. If you wish to do more complicated testing, use the Test::More module (a drop-in replacement for this one). Homepage: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Test-Simple/ Information for p5-Tie-IxHash-1.21nb2: Description: If you have been led to believe that associative arrays in perl don't preserve order, and if you have ever craved for that feature, this module is for you. Simply declare a "tie" for the hash variable that you want to be order-preserving, and forget that limitation ever existed. You can do other nifty things with the tied hash object that you may be used to doing with arrays, like Push(), Pop() and Splice(). Homepage: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Tie-IxHash/ Information for p5-Time-HiRes-1.66nb1: Description: Implement usleep, ualarm, setitimer/getitimer and gettimeofday for Perl, as well as wrappers to implement time, sleep, and alarm that know about non-integral seconds. Homepage: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Time-HiRes/ Information for p5-TimeDate-1.16nb1: Description: This is the perl5 TimeDate distribution. It requires perl version 5.003 or later This distribution replaces the earlier GetDate distribution, which was only a date parser. The date parser contained in this distribution is far superior to the yacc based parser, and a *lot* faster. The parser contained here will only parse absolute dates, if you want a date parser that can parse relative dates then take a look at the Time modules by David Muir on CPAN.

The main focus of the library is to provide classes and functions that allow you to write WWW clients, thus libwww-perl said to be a WWW client library. The library also contain modules that are of more general use. The main architecture of the library is object oriented. The user agent, requests sent and responses received from the WWW server are all represented by objects. This makes a simple and powerful interface to these services. The interface should be easy to extend and customize for your needs. Homepage: http://search.cpan.org/dist/libwww-perl/ Information for p5-nkf-2.05nb1: Description: Nkf is a yet another kanji code converter among networks, hosts and terminals. It converts input kanji code to desig- nated kanji code such as 7-bit JIS, MS-kanji (shifted-JIS) or EUC. One of the most unique facility of nkf is the guess of the input kanji code. It currently recognizes 7-bit JIS, MS- kanji (shifted-JIS) and EUC. So users needn't the input kanji code specification.

Homepage: http://language.perl.com/index.html Information for pango-1.8.2: Description: Pango is a library for layout and rendering of text, with an emphasis on internationalization. Pango can be used anywhere that text layout is needed; however, most of the work on Pango-1.0 was done using the GTK+ widget toolkit as a test platform. Pango forms the core of text and font handling for GTK+-2.0. Pango is designed to be modular; the core Pango layout can be used with four different font backends: - Core X windowing system fonts - Client-side fonts on X using the Xft library - Direct rendering of scalable fonts using the FreeType library - Native fonts on Microsoft backends Dynamically loaded modules then handle text layout for particular combinations of script and font backend. As well as the low level layout rendering routines, Pango includes PangoLayout, a high level driver for laying out entire blocks of text, and routines to assist in editing internationalized text. Homepage: http://www.pango.org/ Information for papersize-1.0.6: Description: Many packages have the ability to set default paper sizes, so that, at run time, the correct papersize is chosen. This package can be used to show the current default paper size settings, and to set the default paper size setting as well. Information for pari-2.1.6: Description: PARI-GP is a package which is aimed at efficient computations in number theory, but also contains a large number of other useful functions. It is somewhat related to a Computer Algebra System, but is not really one since it treats symbolic expressions as mathematical entities such as matrices, polynomials, series, etc..., and not as expressions per se. However it is often much faster than other CAS, and contains a large number of specific functions not found elsewhere, essentially for use in number theory. This package can be used in an interactive shell (GP) or as a C/C++ library (PARI). It is free software, in the sense of freedom AND 'free of charge'.

Homepage: http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Foothills/4078/ Information for perl-5.8.7nb3: Description: Perl is a high-level programming language with an eclectic heritage written by Larry Wall and a cast of thousands. It derives from the ubiquitous C programming language and to a lesser extent from sed, awk, the Unix shell, and at least a dozen other tools and languages. Perl's process, file, and text manipulation facilities make it particularly well-suited for tasks involving quick prototyping, system utilities, software tools, system management tasks, database access, graphical programming, networking, and world wide web programming. These strengths make it especially popular with system administrators and CGI script authors, but mathematicians, geneticists, journalists, and even managers also use Perl. Maybe you should, too. Homepage: http://www.perl.com/ Information for pforth-21: Description: PForth is an ANSI style Forth designed to be portable across many platforms. The 'P' in pForth stands for "Portable". PForth is based on a Forth kernel written in ANSI standard 'C'. PForth has been designed with portability as the primary design goal. As a result, pForth avoids any fancy UNIX calls. pForth also avoids using any clever and original ways of constructing the Forth dictionary. It just compiles its kernel from ANSI compatible 'C' code then loads ANS compatible Forth code to build the dictionary. Very boring but very likely to work on almost any platform. The pForth software code is dedicated to the public domain, and any third party may reproduce, distribute and modify the pForth software code or any derivative works thereof without any compensation or license. The pForth software code is provided on an "as is" basis without any warranty of any kind, including, without limitation, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose and their equivalents under the laws of any jurisdiction.

It replaces the ubiquitous *-config scripts you may have seen with a single tool. Despite its name, this project is not related to the NetBSD package system! Homepage: http://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/ Information for pkg_comp-1.8: Description: pkg_comp is a small utility designed to build packages inside a clean chroot tree. Some ideas about what to use it for (taken from manpage): * Build packages for other system versions. For example, build packages for NetBSD 1.5 while you are running NetBSD current. * Build packages using different options than your current system like changing the threading library, COPTS, placement of configuration files, etc. * Debug the build process of a package, checking if buildlinks work properly. * Avoid autoconf's side effects by keeping a separate chroot for each project, like one for GNOME2 and another one for KDE3. Information for pkg_install-20050607: *** PACKAGE MAY NOT BE DELETED *** Description: pkg_install contains the core package management and administration utilities for pkgsrc, a multi-platform source and binary package system developed and maintained by The NetBSD Project and volunteers from around the globe. The following tools are included: pkg_add install and upgrade binary packages pkg_admin perform various pkgsrc administrative tasks pkg_create create software package distributions pkg_delete delete installed packages pkg_info display information about installed or binary packages pkg_view manage package views linkfarm manage symbolic links for package views Homepage: http://www.pkgsrc.org/ *** PACKAGE MAY NOT BE DELETED *** Information for pkg_tarup-1.4: Description: Script to tar up an already installed package. Now my question is, how can we include this? I'd prefer to have it available from pkg_admin, but that is C, and the other is a script - rewrite in C? The Script has still a problem, as the MTREE file is removed after a pkg_add/make install. As leaving the MTREE file will lead to a ~10% increase in space needed for /var/db/pkg which I'm not sure we should do, esp. as the files are almost always the same again. (On my notebook with ~250 installed pkgs, the size increasement would be from 8.8MB to 10MB). Send your thoughts to me ! Information for pkgchk-1.39: Description: pkgchk verifies that the versions of installed packages matches those in pkgsrc, optionally adding missing or updating mismatched packages.

It displays a month calendar similar to xcal, but every day box is large enough to show appointments in small print. By pressing on a day box, the appointments for that day can be listed and edited. Appointments are entered with the following information: - the date, time, and length (time and days) of the appointment, - an optional text message and an optional script to be executed, - early-warn and late-warn triggers that precede the alarm time - repetitions: [n-th] weekdays, days-of-the-month, every n days, yearly - optional fast command-line appointment entry - flexible ways to specify holidays and vacations - extensive context help - multiuser capability using an IP server program (with access lists), - grouping of appointments into files, per-user, private, and others The action being taken when a warn or alarm time is reached is programmable; by default a window pops up. In addition, a program can be executed, or mail can be sent. Other methods of listing appointments (today, this week, next week, or a keyword search for regular expressions) are also available. Plan can be configured to display times in 12-hour or 24-hour formats, mmddyy and ddmmyy date formats, and can show either Monday or Sunday in the leftmost column. Four view modes are supported: month, year, week, day, and a 365-day overview. The day, week, and overview plot appointments as colored and labeled bars on a time chart.

It has the unique feature that multiple client windows can be attached to the same frame. This feature helps keep windows, especially the numerous xterms, organized. Being a lightweight window manager with emphasis on usability, PWM does not have all the features that one might expect from a window manager. Those features are simply unnecessary. PWM does not provide pixmapped themes or other bloated eye candies but has a clean and simple look inspired by BeOS and Motif. There are no icons and frames cannot be iconified, only "shaded". Only one pointer focus mode is supported: sloppy. PWM does not even have titlebar buttons and may not be the easiest window manager to get into; most good things are not. PWM has workspaces, menus and Window Maker dockapp support. It has pretty good keyboard support and almost all of the functionality is configurable. Homepage: http://www.students.tut.fi/~tuomov/pwm/ Information for py-extclass-2.2.2: Description: ExtensionClasses is a lightweight mechanism has been developed for making Python extension types more class-like. Classes can be developed in an extension language, such as C or C++, and these classes can be treated like other python classes. They can be sub-classed in python, they provide access to method documentation strings, and they can be used to directly create new instances. Extension classes provide additional extensions to class and instance semantics, including A protocol for accessing subobjects "in the context of" their containers. This is used to implement custom method types and environmental acquisition*. A protocol for overriding method call semantics. This is used to implement "synchonized" classes and could be used to implement argument type checking. A protocol for class initialization that supports execution of a special __class_init__ method after a class has been initialized.

CREDITS This shell was written by Byron Rakitzis, but kudos go to Paul Haahr for letting me know what a shell should do and for contributing certain bits and pieces to rc (notably the limits code, print.c, most of which.c and the backquote redirection code).

Homepage: http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/pkgsrc/ Information for rsync-2.6.6: Description: rsync is a replacement for rcp that has many more features. rsyns uses the "rsync algorithm" which provides a very fast method for bringing remote files into sync. It does this by sending just the differences in the files across the link, without requiring that both sets of files are present at one of the ends of the link beforehand. This makes rsync a good remote file distribution/synchronisation utility in a dialup PPP/SLIP environment. Note: it requires rsync on the destination machine. There is a Computer Science Technical Report on the rsync algorithm included in the distribution, and is also available as ftp://samba.anu.edu.au/pub/rsync/tech_report.ps Homepage: http://rsync.samba.org/ Information for rtf2latex-1.5: Description: rtf2LaTeX is a filter built on Paul DuBois' RTF reader that converts RTF (Microsoft's Rich Text Format) into LaTeX. rtf2LaTeX expends a good deal of effort in an attempt to make the resulting LaTeX maintainable and modifiable.

Samba allows a UNIX machine to perform client-server networking for file and printer sharing with Microsoft Windows systems using their native network protocol and to appear as another Windows system on the network from the perspective of a Windows client. The Samba suite also includes client tools that allow users to access folders and printers that Windows systems and Samba servers offer on the network. Homepage: http://www.samba.org/ Information for sane-backends-1.0.15: Description: SANE is a universal scanner interface. The value of such a universal interface is that it allows writing just one driver per image acquisition device rather than one driver for each device and application. So, if you have three applications and four devices, traditionally you'd have had to write 12 different programs. With SANE, this number is reduced to seven: the three applications plus the four drivers. Of course, the savings get even bigger as more and more drivers and/or applications are added. sane-backends contains libraries, sane-config and scanimage. Homepage: http://www.sane-project.org/ Information for sawfish-1.2nb10: Description: Sawfish is an extensible window manager using an Emacs Lisp-like scripting language--all window decorations are configurable, the basic idea is to have as much user-interface policy as possible controlled through the Lisp language. This is no layer on top of twm, but a wholly new architecture. Despite this extensibility its policy is currently very minimal compared to most window managers. Its aim is simply to manage windows in the most flexible and attractive manner possible. As such it does not implement desktop backgrounds, applications docks, or other things that may be achieved through separate applications. All high-level wm functions are implemented in Lisp for future extensibility or redefinition. Currently this includes menus (using GTK+), interactive window moving and resizing, virtual workspaces, iconification, focus/transient window policies, frame theme definitions and much more.

The main components are: * An XSLT processor, which implements the Version 1.0 XSLT and XPath Recommendations from the World Wide Web Consortium. This version of Saxon also includes some features defined in XSLT 1.1. * A Java library, which supports a similar processing model to XSL, but allows full programming capability, which you need if you want to perform complex processing of the data or to access external services such as a relational database * A slightly improved version of the AElfred parser from Microstar. (But you can use SAXON with any SAX-compliant XML parser if you prefer). Saxon is distributed under the terms of the Mozilla Public License (MPL). Homepage: http://users.iclway.co.uk/mhkay/saxon/ Information for sc-6.21: Description: The spreadsheet calculator sc is based on rectangular tables much like a financial spreadsheet. When invoked it presents you with a table organized as rows and columns of cells. If invoked without a file argument, the table is initially empty. Each cell may have associated with it a numeric value, a label string, and/or an expression (formula) which evaluates to a numeric value or label string, often based on other cell values. Information for scheme48-0.57: Description: Scheme 48 is an implementation of the Scheme programming language as described in the Revised^4 Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme. It is based on a compiler and interpreter for a virtual Scheme machine. The name derives from our desire to have an implementation that is simple and lucid enough that it looks as if it were written in just 48 hours. We don't claim to have reached that stage yet; much more simplification is necessary. Scheme 48 tries to be faithful to the upcoming Revised^5 Scheme Report, providing neither more nor less in the initial user environment. (This is not to say that more isn't available in other environments; see below.) Support for numbers is weak: bignums are slow and floating point is almost nonexistent (see description of floatnums, below). DEFINE-SYNTAX, LET-SYNTAX, LETREC-SYNTAX, and SYNTAX-RULES are supported, but not the rest of the Revised^4 Scheme macro proposal.

Each virtual terminal provides the functions of a DEC VT100 terminal and, in addition, several control functions from the ANSI X3.64 (ISO 6429) and ISO 2022 standards (e.g. insert/delete line and support for multiple character sets). There is a scrollback history buffer for each virtual terminal and a copy-and-paste mechanism that allows moving text regions between windows. Homepage: http://www.gnu.org/software/screen/screen.html Information for scrollkeeper-0.3.14nb5: Description: ScrollKeeper is a cataloging system for documentation on open systems. It manages documentation metadata (as specified by the Open Source Metadata Framework (OMF) and provides a simple API to allow help browsers to find, sort, and search the document catalog. It will also be able to communicate with catalog servers on the Net to search for documents which are not on the local system. Homepage: http://scrollkeeper.sourceforge.net/ Information for scsh-0.6.4: Description: Scsh is a Unix shell in that is has significant syntax extensions to make writing Unix shell scripts easy (constructing pipelines, setting I/O redirection, conditional execution etc.). It also offers access to lower-level functionality like all Posix system calls, TCP/IP sockets and a full-featured regular expression library. This is embedded into a general-purpose programming language with real data types, extensive, syntactically clean control constructs and "real" quoting rules. Scsh is also a full implementation of R4RS Scheme with some non-standard behavior (required for scripting). As a result, a wide variety of existing Scheme code can be used. The underlying Scheme implementation is a virtual machine for compact byte code.

It is written in Emacs Lisp and is customized to the way Emacs thinks about language files, and is optimized to use Emacs' parsing capabilities. The Semantic Bovinator's goal is to provide an intermediate API for authors of language agnostic tools who want to deal with languages in a generic way. It also provides a simple way for Mode Authors who are experts in their language to provide a parser for those tool authors, without knowing anything about those tools. The Semantic Bovinator is made up of these important pieces: 1. lexer 2. parser 3. parser-generator 4. language definitions 5. navigator 6. speedbar browser 7. Documentation generator Homepage: http://cedet.sourceforge.net/semantic.shtml Information for semi-1.14.6nb2: Description: SEMI is a library to provide MIME feature for GNU Emacs.

It provides similar functionality to the ANSI C Standard I/O functions known collectively as Stdio. However, it has a distinct interface and is generally faster and more robust than most Stdio implementations. Sfio also introduces a number of new features and concepts beyond Stdio stream I/O processing: + Automatic locking to avoid concurrent stream accesses, + I/O disciplines to pre/post-process read/write data from/to streams, + Stream stacking for recursive processing of nested streams, + Stream pooling for automatic stream synchronization when I/O operations are performed on different streams, + Buffer reservation for safe access to the internal buffers of streams, + Robust handling of variable-sized records, and + Extensible printf/scanf-like formatting I/O operations. For backward compatibility, Sfio provides two Stdio emulation packages. An application with source code can include the header file stdio.h provided by Sfio instead of the native one to translate Stdio calls to Sfio calls. An application already compiled with the native header file stdio.h can make use of Sfio functionality by linking with the library libstdio.a which emulates Stdio functions. In fact, it is safe to mix and match modules that are compiled with either Sfio-provided or native stdio.h. The current distribution of Sfio is Sfio1998. This version of the library is portable to all known UNIX platforms including various flavors of IRIX, SUNOS, Solaris, Ultrix, MVS/OpenEdition, Linux and BSDI. The library handles 64-bit streams on platforms that support 64-bit files. The formatting family of functions (e.g., sfprintf() and sfscanf()) have been extended so that applications can redefine the meanings of predefined patterns as well as define new patterns. The manual page has more details on recent changes. Below are papers related to Sfio: David G. Korn and Kiem-Phong Vo, ``Sfio: Safe/Fast String/File IO'', Proceedings of the Summer '91 Usenix Conference, pp. 235-256, 1991. Glenn S. Fowler, David G.

Homepage: http://akpublic.research.att.com/sw/tools/sfio/ Information for sgi-stl-3.3: Description: The Standard Template Library, or STL, is a C++ library of container classes, algorithms, and iterators; it provides many of the basic algorithms and data structures of computer science. The STL is a generic library, meaning that its components are heavily parameterized: almost every component in the STL is a template. You should make sure that you understand how templates work in C++ before you use the STL.

Homepage: http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/ Information for shared-mime-info-0.16: Description: Many programs and desktops use the MIME system to represent the types of files. Frequently, it is necessary to work out the correct MIME type for a file. This is generally done by examining the file's name or contents, and looking up the correct MIME type in a database. For interoperability, it is useful for different programs to use the same database so that different programs agree on the type of a file, and new rules for determining the type apply to all programs. This package contains the core database of common types and the update-mime-database command used to extend it. Homepage: http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/shared-mime-info Information for silc-toolkit-0.9.13: Description: SILC (Secure Internet Live Conferencing) is a protocol which provides secure conferencing services in the Internet over insecure channel. SILC superficially resembles IRC, although they are very different internally. SILC is much more than just about `encrypting the traffic'. That is easy enough to do with IRC and SSL hybrids, but even then the entire network cannot be secured, only part of it. SILC provides security services, such as sending private messages entirely secure; noone can see the message except you and the real receiver of the message. SILC also provides same functionality for channels; noone except those clients joined to the channel may see the messages destined to the channel. Communication between client and server is also secured with session keys and all commands, authentication data (such as passwords etc.) and other traffic is entirely secured. The entire network, and all parts of it, is secured. SILC has secure key exchange protocol that is used to create the session keys for each connection. SILC also provides strong authentication based on either passwords or public key authentication. All authentication data is always encrypted in the SILC network. Each connection has their own session keys, all channels have channel specific keys, and all private messages can be secured with private message specific keys.

Homepage: http://www.lokigames.com/development/smpeg.php3 Information for snobol-0.99.4nb1: Description: This is a C implementation of the original Macro SIL (SNOBOL4 Implementation Language) version of SNOBOL4, originally developed at ATT Bell Labs. SNOBOL4, primarily known as a string processing language, excels at any task involving symbolic manipulations. The interpreter provides run-time typing, garbage collection, user defined data types, and on-the-fly sub-interpretation within a running program. Its primary weakness is a simple syntax, and a lack of "structured" constructs, although many would consider these to be strengths when compared to some "modern" and ever-changing agglomerations such as Perl. While not computationally speedy, it is handy for minimizing development time and effort when creating data conversion tools. This is because of its data manipulation functions, associative memory data structures, and an extensive set of sophisticated built-in string pattern matching primatives. SNOBOL4 consists of one relatively small executable file, without the scads of associated libraries and modules that make package management difficult. Although developed in the early 1960s (the SNOBOL3 primer was published by the MIT press in 1967), some feel that it is still ahead of its time today. While it is fully functional and extensively tested, it is no longer evolving, having reached the desirable stable plateau in any programming language's life cycle.

It provides an queued asynchronous callback-based mechanism for sending and servicing SOAP requests, and a WSDL (Web Service Definition Language) to C compiler which generates client stubs and server skeletons for easily calling and implementing SOAP methods. It uses the Glib main loop and is designed to work well with GTK applications. This enables GNOME applications to access SOAP servers on the network in a completely asynchronous fashion, very similar to the Gtk+ programming model (a synchronous operation mode is also supported for those who want it). The WSDL compiler will help you make your applications interoperate with services that expose their descriptions through WSDL.

The virtual machine it provides can be either the one presented by the MIPS assembler or the one of the bare hardware. The simulator can also be built to simulate the pipeline architecture of the MIPS machine (both the control and floating point pipelines). When built for this, it also simulates and displays an instruction and data cache. This simulator is useful in CS and EE classes, including providing a target machine for compilers courses, lower division assembly language programming, microprocessor design courses, etc...
