Free 3 years software for linux

myGuests is a guestbook written in PHP. It uses a simple textfile as storage, there is no need for a database server like mysql to use it. Ive started to develop myGuests in the year 2002 when database servers were only affordable for business applications. Using a simple textfile as storage made it possible for many people to install their own guestbook very easy.
Today I look back to three years of developing PHP applications for business use. I apologize for not releasing new open source projects in the past years, maybe there will be new things in the next months.
Main features:
- multi-language support (available languages: English, German, Dutch, Slovak)
- css support
- email notification
- email protection
- badwords filter
- admin-mode (delete&comment on entries)

Go Awstats project automates the production of Awstats Apache log reports at a site where multiple virtual hosts exist.
It always updates the reports for the current month and the current year and only produces other reports if they do not exist, which saves on CPU.
The regeneration of a report can be forced by simply erasing it.
Enhancements:
- A major year calculation error has been fixed that appeared when the logs began to span more than two years.
- The author is now confident that the whole thing now works as advertised, hence the bump to revision 1.0.

readlists in short rl, is a frontend for mailers like mutt to handle multiple mailboxes more conveniently.

A few years ago (in 1998) I started to use ELM (and later mutt) along with several mailfolders. I wanted to have a little program that acted as a front-end to mutt to make reading of multiple mailboxes easier.

The result was readlists, or rl as I shortly afterwards abbreviated it. Last year, when we upgraded out mail server to FreeBSD 5.4, we decided not to install ELM anymore, which left a void as this package also provided the command nfrm. Since rl already contained all the code needed for such a command, this was added, as well.

phpPeanuts is a framework for developing business applications in php4 and 5.
PphPeanuts supports a development style that is both Model Driven and based on extreme programming (XP). In the early stages of development phpPeanuts is at its most effective: create some business components and their database tables.
Type an url in your browser. PhpPeanuts instantly creates working prototype. Let users try it out and comment. Then extend and refine. Whenever you extend or refine your application phpPeanuts will instantly adapt the user interface. This keeps the development cycle eXtremely short.
PhpPeanuts is easy to install and runs on both php4 and 5. It supports the separation of lay out, user interface code and business model throught the MVC pattern and facilitates the reuse of user interface components.
Its framework based persistency stores and retrieves objects in MySQL and generates complex queries from Query By Example forms. phpPeanutss code management scheme keeps your code seprarated from framework code and can be extended to seperate your generic code from specific code and configurations in as many layers as you like.
But the best feature of phpPeanuts is its flexibilty. You can override and specialize allmost every component and aspect. Because this is all done by adding subclasses and overriding methods you can do it with the freedom of expression of php itself.
To help you find your way the website offers you practical documentation. The examples help you to learn about OOP by doing, only reading theory as far as needed to get something done. The hypercode browsers allow you to quickly search for code to reuse and to drill down into it to see how it works.
Main features:
- fully written in php, html and cross browser javascript;
- easy to install;
- runs on most low cost web hosting accounts (php4) as well as on php5;
- very object oriented,
- the frameworks design has a history of over 10 years,
- based on a component model;
- encapsulation without writing property getter and setter methods;
- persistency on MySql relational database, polymorphic persistency since version 1.1;
- navigation over relationships without coding;
- default user interface generated from meta data (example);
- user interface follows MVC pattern for separation of layout and code and logical separation between domain model and user interface;
- default user interface layout can be customized (example);
- many details of user interface can be overridden and customized;
- localization support in user interfacing framework (example);
- powerfull user interface components for automatic form generation and validation, Query By Example, dialogs andtabs.
- simple event model for specializing user interface components (example),
- extendable code management scheme for overriding framework behavior without changing framework code,
- supports multiple applications on a single web server;
- helps to learn object oriented programming and design from the bottom up

UDF collection for MySQL project contains utility UDFs that are supposed to be built and loaded as shared objects.
Its available functions are HUMANAGE() (which returns the age in years relative to a custom date or NOW()), URLENCODE() and URLDECODE().
Installation:
The simplest way to compile this package is:
1. `cd to the directory containing the packages source code and type `./configure to configure the package for your system. If youre using `csh on an old version of System V, you might need to type `sh ./configure instead to prevent `csh from trying to execute `configure itself.
Running `configure takes awhile. While running, it prints some messages telling which features it is checking for.
2. Type `make to compile the package.
3. Optionally, type `make check to run any self-tests that come with the package.
4. Type `make install to install the programs and any data files and documentation.
5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory by typing `make clean. To also remove the files that `configure created (so you can compile the package for a different kind of computer), type `make distclean. There is also a `make maintainer-clean target, but that is intended mainly for the packages developers. If you use it, you may have to get all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came with the distribution.
Enhancements:
- A bug in HUMANAGE() regarding a last adjustment of mon/mday in sll2tm() was fixed.
- A bug in HUMANAGE() in which day() just looped over the first year was fixed.

PETSc is a suite of data structures and routines for the scalable (parallel) solution of scientific applications modeled by partial differential equations.
PETSc library employs the MPI standard for all message-passing communication.
PETSc is easy to use for beginners. Moreover, its careful design allows advanced users to have detailed control over the solution process. PETSc includes a large suite of parallel linear and nonlinear equation solvers that are easily used in application codes written in C, C++, Fortran and now Python.
PETSc provides many of the mechanisms needed within parallel application codes, such as simple parallel matrix and vector assembly routines that allow the overlap of communication and computation. In addition, PETSc includes support for parallel distributed arrays useful for finite difference methods.
Main features:
- Parallel vectors
- scatters (handles communicating ghost point information)
- gathers
- Parallel matrices
- several sparse storage formats
- easy, efficient assembly.

MaVerick is a project to produce a free open source Multivalue Database Management System.
MaVerick is intended to provide a flexible and readily extendable implementation suitable for use in a new century.
The MaVerick project was started in 1999 on the comp.databases.pick newsgroup by a collection of multivalue users.
MultiValue databases have been around for about 30 years, starting off with The Pick Operating System. Youve probably heard of relational databases, well, MultiValue databases can be relational, but their method of storing data is much more flexible than the 2 dimensional table you normally associate with relational databases, i.e., you can store multiple fields within a field. On top of which, they are extremely fast in operation.
Enhancements:
- Multiple improvements were made to the basic compiler, the query language, the runtime, and the file system.
