Free 0.1.8 software for linux

APL project is a general purpose C++ template class library.
All the code is placed in header files, so no compilation is required. You just have to #include the header file.
The classes are implemented using Policy Based Design. When you use the class you decide how it should behave.
Includes rich set of routines working with:
- file systems
- sockets
- threads
- mutexes
- internet protocols
- networks
- various parsers (including XML)
- databases
- process management
- and much more...
Platform and compiler independent.
The following is a sample code for reading the file contect into std::string class:
std::string content ;
apl::AFile file ;
file.load("file.dat",content) ;
Enhancements:
- serial: rewritten serial class.

SDLmm is a C++ glue for SDL, or the Simple DirectMedia Layer, which is a generic API that provides low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, 3D hardware via OpenGL, and 2D framebuffer across multiple platforms.
SDLmm aims to stay as close as possible to the C API while taking advantage of native C++ features like object orientation. We will also aim at being platform independent as much as possible. I.e well try to support ever platform supported by SDL.
This library is, like SDL, distributed under GNU LGPL version 2 license, which can be found in the file COPYING. This license allows you to use SDLmm freely in commercial programs as long as you link with the dynamic library.
Simple DirectMedia Layer is a cross-platform multimedia library designed to provide low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, 3D hardware via OpenGL, and 2D video framebuffer. It is used by MPEG playback software, emulators, and many popular games, including the award winning Linux port of "Civilization: Call To Power."
Simple DirectMedia Layer supports Linux, Windows, BeOS, MacOS Classic, MacOS X, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, BSD/OS, Solaris, IRIX, and QNX. There is also code, but no official support, for Windows CE, AmigaOS, Dreamcast, Atari, NetBSD, AIX, OSF/Tru64, RISC OS, and SymbianOS.
SDL is written in C, but works with C++ natively, and has bindings to several other languages, including Ada, Eiffel, Java, Lua, ML, Perl, PHP, Pike, Python, and Ruby.
Enhancements:
- Programs using SDLmm 0.1.5 will have to be rewritten to work with 0.1.8.
- Hopefully this new interface wont change.
- See the test files or documentation for details.
- Added Win32 Visual C++ 6.0 build files (dll and static)
- New SPoint class and Color classes
- Some SDLmm timer functionality added
- Rewrote surface classes, use SDL reference counting etc
- BaseSurface::SetPixel functions added
- PixelFormat class added and pixel related functions moved from BaseSurface to PixelFormat.
- Some corrections in functions which return a bool.
- Added assertions for certain problems (disable with --disable-assertions).
- Added utility operators to SRect class, plus functions to get the SPoint of each of the corners.

aedGUI is a cross-platform C++ GUI library that works with SDL. The goal of this project is to create a cross-platform C++ Graphics User Interface library to be used with Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL). It is fast, non-intrusive and easy to use.

TransJ project is a multilingual desktop translation tool.
It uses SWT for a native look and feel on each OS and a fast UI.
It currently uses the SYSTRAN engine thru the AltaVista BabelFish service.
Supported languages are: English, French, German, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and others.
There are also plans to implement the Lingvo engine.
Enhancements:
- major 800x600 screen resolution bug fixed

osdchat is a simple messaging utility that allows you to remotely send messages directly to the screen as an on-screen display (OSD).

This may be used a lightweight messaging service in a local area network to message busy admins or communicate with friends who like to watch fullscreen movies or otherwise cannot see whats going on in the background.

There is a wide assortment of options to customize the look, feel, and location of the incoming messages.

I suppose it also shares some similarity with the ancient UNIX utility write, except that tty has been replaced with X. osdchat has been tested only under Linux, specifically Gentoo 1.4 and Slackware 9.0/1, but should work on any full distribution meeting the dependencies.

Installlation:

tar zxvf osdchat-[version].tar.gz
cd osdchat-[version]

Edit the Makefile as needed to change the install paths.

make check (md5sum check to make sure files are intact)
make
make install (need to be root, or have proper capabilities)

Copy sample osdchatd.conf configuration file to /etc or rename to .osdchatd and place it in your home directory. Change settings as desired.

The sample config file is equivalent to the built-in defaults, so a config file is not needed to just test the package.

ShoutChat is a PHP script which allows developers to add an instant message (or IRC) like shout box to Web sites.
The shoutchat is an iframe element (Mozilla compatible), and the script operates using Javascript and stores the messages in a MySQL database (a file gets complicated with synchronous posts, so a database was favored).
The look of the box is controlled through styles.
All the modern browsers are supported (including Konqueror).
In order to act more like an instant chat, it handles some of the details that other shout boxes do not.
It uses Javascript head requests to check for new messages, refreshing the iframe and scrolling down to the new message when one is detected.
Several IRC features are included, such as channels. Finally, a text formatting engine called FastFormat code is used to decorate text and create special links.
Enhancements:
- renamed project to ShoutChat to reflect the change in direction the project took
- migrated to two tables, one for shouts, the other for channels
- updated database script

Flamethrower is intended to be an easy to use multicast file distribution system. Flamethrower project was created to add multicast install capabilities to SystemImager, but was designed to be fully functional as a stand-alone package.
Main features:
- Works with entire directory heirarchies of files, not just single files.
- Uses a server configuration file that takes module entries that are similar to those used by rsyncd.conf.
- Flamethrower is an on-demand system. The multicast of a module is initiated when a client connects, but waits MIN_WAIT (conf file) for other clients to connect. If other clients try to connect after a cast has been initiated, they simply wait until that cast has finished, and catch the next one when it begins.
- The udpcast package is used as the multicast transport, and offers a gob and a half of tuning parameters.
