Free advanced messaging software for linux

XPA Messaging provides seamless communication between Unix programs, including X, Tcl/Tk, and generic select() loops. XPA Messaging provides an easy way for users to communicate with these XPA-enabled programs by executing XPA client commands from a shell.
Because XPA works both at the programming level and the shell level, it is a powerful tool for unifying any environment, offering flexibility in choosing the best level at which to access XPA services.
A program becomes an XPA-enabled server by defining named points of public access through which data and commands can be exchanged with other client programs (and users). Using standard TCP sockets, XPA supports both single-point and broadcast messaging to and from these servers.
Enhancements:
- Ported to Intel icc and gcc 3.3 compilers.
- Upgraded to Tcl/Tk 8.4.
- Support has been added for generating man pages, PDF, and Postscript from the HTML pages.
- Potential buffer overflows in string handling have been fixed.
- There are numerous other bugfixes.

Advanced Strategic Command is a free, turn based strategy game. Advanced Strategic Command project is designed in the tradition of the Battle Isle series from Bluebyte and is currently available for Windows and Linux.

Advanced Strategic Command is distributed under the terms of the Gnu General Public License (the license Linux uses too), which basically means the game is free, the complete source code is available and you can do everything with it as long as it remains free.

Advanced game library project is a library designed to ease game development.
It uses the SDL library and provides 2D graphical functions, sound streaming and events functions, video streaming, AI engines, and map generator.
This software is primarily designed for LINUX.
This SDK uses the SDL library for the bitmap, sound and events system. SDL provides accelerated and portable interfaces for the video and sound hardware.
The abstraction of the low level layer makes possible the extension of adgali to other low level libraries like Allegro or GGI.
This library tends to provide useful functions for bitmap and sprite display, game GUI, game sound events and music stream , network management and video streaming.
Well, only a subset of these features are implemented for now.
Main features:
- underlying library:
- SDL
- General features:
- The library is thread safe and reentrant
- Error management system: adgali provides a system to trace the origin of an error
- Unified data streaming system: memory, files, network or archives are simple to manage and can provide the game datas
- A modular conception for the loaders (streaming system, images, fonts ...)
- A memory leak detection system
- A postmortem backtracing system
- A general parser for a general treatment of the configuration files and scripts (in the spirit of the GTK+ description files).
- All major features are designed as modules integrated with a general engine
- a dynamic loading system of modules or third part libraries (work in progress)
- A cache system is designed for all objects to accelarate object loading
- 2D graphics features are:
- 32 bits pictures management: 24 bits of colour, 8 bits of alpha
- image loading: support BMP, PCX, GIF, TGA, JPG, PNG, PPM, PNM, PGM, TIFF, XCF, XPM image formats
- unified fonts management: true type fonts (TTF using freetype 2) and bitmap fonts ( an image file and a text description file)
- Color separation, modification and combination for an image (RGB, green level, CMY and HSV)
- zone filling, copying, tiling, clipping with optionnal rotation and mirror
- color filling, mask-ing, key color alpha channel treatment
- lines drawing with clipping functions
- Graphical user interface:
- a tree organized bitmap hierarchy with an automatic refresh system to the viewport
- basic string printing

Perl Advanced TCP Hijacking is a collection of tools for inspecting and hijacking network connections written in Perl. It consists of a packet generator, an RST daemon, a sniffer, an ICMP redirection tool, an ARP redirection tool, an IDS testing tool and other.

If your system supports Perl just do the following steps:
cd modules
su
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install
If the script tell you it cant install all required modules automatically youll find that module on CPAN [http://www.cpan.org].

simple instant messaging (sim) is an IRC client specialized for use with bitlbee. It is based on sic (http://suckless.org). It reads commands from standard input and prints all server output to standard output.
simple instant messaging also multiplexes all channel traffic into one output, so you dont have to switch to different channel buffers. sim must be customized by editing its source code to insert the correct username, server, password, and identification information.
Enhancements:
- The command operator was changed.
- Some code simplifications were done.
- The output format was adjusted.

Lua Messaging Engine (LuME) is a set of scripts that offer abstract functions for communication via AOLs OSCAR protocol (as used by ICQ and AIM clients), Microsoft Messengers MSNP, and Yahoos YIM protocol. Lua Messaging Engine also includes utility functions for string operations, SHA hashing, and basic HTTPS communication.

An increasing number of software developers are making use of the simplicity and power behind employing a Lua script interface.

Meetroduction, LLC has been using a Lua script interface as a core design concept for the multi protocol messaging component of its proximity based people finder client: Meetro. Beyond that, the interface offers its users a flexible way to vastly extend the clients functionality.
