Free 1.8 software for linux

FBZX is a Sinclair Spectrum emulator, designed to work at full screen using the FrameBuffer.
Main features:
- emulates acurately the Original spectrum (both issue 2 and issue 3), the classic 128K, the Amstrad Plus 2 and the Amstrad Plus 2A. This include screen, keyboard and sound (both speaker and AY-3-8912 chip).
- Screen emulation is extremely acurate, so it can emulate border efects and even atribute efects.
- Supports Z80 snapshots, both loading and saving.
- Supports TAP (both read and write) and TZX (only read) tape files, supporting normal speed loading and fast speed loading.
- Emulates joysticks: kempston, cursor and sinclair.
- Emulates the Interface I and Microdrive.
- Is based in the great Z80 emulator created by Marat Fayzullin.
- Is distributed under GPL license (except the Z80 core, that cant be commercially distributed. See details in the homepage of Marat Fayzullin or in the documentation).

Tin project is a full-screen easy to use Netnews reader.
It can read news locally (i.e., /var/spool/news) or remotely (rtin or tin -r option) via a NNTP (Network News Transport Protocol) server.
It will automatically utilize NOV (News OVerview) style index files if available locally or via the NNTP XOVER command.
Quick Install:
configure to your local setup (have a look at):
./configure --help (or ./conf-tin)
check your local setup in:
include/autoconf.h
compile with:
make build (or cd src; make)
install with:
make install
Install at your own risk.
Enhancements:
- A few possible buffer overflows were fixed.

JoSQL (SQL for Java Objects) provides the ability for a developer to apply a SQL statement to a collection of Java Objects.
JoSQL provides the ability to search, order and group ANY Java objects and should be applied when you want to perform SQL-like queries on a collection of Java Objects.
Example:
// Get a list of java.io.File objects.
List myObjs = getMyObjects ();
// Create a new Query.
Query q = new Query ();
// Parse the SQL you are going to use, it is assumed here that
// "myObjs" contains instances of "java.io.File".
q.parse ("SELECT name,length " +
"FROM java.io.File " +
"WHERE fileExtension (name) = :fileExt " +
"ORDER BY length DESC, name " +
"EXECUTE ON RESULTS avg (:_allobjs, length) avgLength");
// Set the bind variable "fileExt".
q.setVariable ("fileExt", "java");
// Execute the query.
QueryResults qr = q.execute (myObjs);
// Get the average length, this is a save value, the result
// of executing the call "avg (:_allobjs, length)", it is saved against
// key: "avgLength".
Map saveValues = qr.getSaveValues ();
Number avg = (Number) saveValues.get ("avgLength");
// Cycle over the results.
List res = qr.getResults ();
for (int i = 0; i < res.size (); i++)
{
// This time there is a List for each row, index 0 holds the name of
// the file that matched, index 1 holds the length.
List r = (List) res.get (i);
System.out.println ("NAME: " + r.get (0));
System.out.println ("LENGTH: " + r.get (1) + ", AVG: " + avg);
}
Enhancements:
- This release focuses on bug fixes.

gdbm is a database indexing library replacement for the traditional dbm and ndbm libraries.

gdm is useful for those who need to write C applications and need access to a simple and efficient database.

VerbOS is a free program designed to help language learners. Primarily, only the Spanish language is supported but it is intended that other languages will also be included in the future.
Features include a database of nearly 500 Spanish verbs conjugated in 10 tenses, this can be used for reference or with the extensive testing features provided.
Additionally, VerbOS can communicate with any electronic dictionary in the .dict.dz format.
If you just simply need a front end to view a dictionary you can easily load in your preferred dictionary and use VerbOS for normal searching/display functions. The documentation contains examples explaining this process.
System requirements:
- Java 1.4.2 or later

tsocks provides transparent network access through a SOCKS version 4 or 5 proxy (usually on a firewall).

SOCKS servers are a form of proxy that are commonly used in firewalled LAN environments to allow access between networks, and often to the Internet. The problem is that most applications dont know how to gain access through SOCKS servers. This means that network based applications that dont understand SOCKS are very limited in networks they can reach. An example of this is simple telnet.

tsocks role is to allow these non SOCKS aware applications (e.g telnet, ssh, ftp etc) to use SOCKS without any modification. It does this by intercepting the calls that applications make to establish network connections and negotating them through a SOCKS server as necessary. If youre on a network firewalled from the internet with a SOCKS server for outside access, telnet cant use this server and thus cant telnet out to the Internet., sou you cannot get out.

tsocks is based on the shared library interceptor concept. Through use of the LD_PRELOAD environment variable or the /etc/ld.so.preload file tsocks is automatically loaded into the process space of every executed program. From there it overrides the normal connect() function by providing its own. Thus when an application calls connect() to establish a TCP connection it instead passes control to tsocks. tsocks determines if the connection needs to be made via a SOCKS server (by checking /etc/tsocks.conf) and negotiates the connection if so (through use of the real connect() function )

dnsutl package is a collection tools to make administering DNS easier. These include:
dns-rev
Take the forward DNS mapping and generate the reverse mapping. This is useful for producing a self-consistent DNS configuration.
dns-ethers
By using a bogus record type, you can keep the MAC address with the IP address, and generate the /etc/ethers file.
dns-hosts
Take the forward DNS mapping and generate the /etc/hosts file.
dns-bootp
Using the MAC and IP information, you can generate the /etc/bootptab file.
dns-ng
Take the forward DNS mapping and generate the /etc/netgroup file.
dns- bootparams
Using the MAC and IP information, you can generate the Sun /etc/bootparams file.
dns-boot- check
Check your named(8) configuration for self- consistency.
dns-hosts-import
Turn your /etc/hosts file into a DNS forward map, as a first step to configuring your DNS server.
dns-dhcp
Using the MAC and IP information, you can generate the /etc/dhcp.conf file.
All of these programs are both faster than shell scripts, and more robust when faced with all the peculiar semantics of DNS resource files. They even understand the $include directive.
dnsutl runs on almost any flavor of UNIX. The source distribution is self configuring using a GNU Autoconf generated configure script.
Enhancements:
- A bug has been fixed in the SRRF parser, so it more closely follows RFC 1035.
- A bug has been fixed in the name server (ns) record validation.
