Free beyond 1.3 software for linux

beyond is a driver for the multimedia installation for Prof. Jill Scotts "Beyond Hierarchy" (Dortmund, Zeche Zollern, Summer 2000).

Geode is an Integrated Development Environment designed to facilitate development in the ESI Objects system under linux and (hopefully soon) other free and open operating systems.
ESI Objects is an object-oriented, open-source database design and development platform which--until now--required a Windows-based Client (IDE) for actual code development.
An Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for the ESI Objects language (object-oriented MUMPS) that works on linux and other UNIX-like Operating Systems.
GEODE is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for the ESI Objects system, and is designed to replace the existing Windows-only ESI Objects client IDE.
GEODE was developed from scratch, and is NOT a port of the open-sourced Windows IDE.
It is written in C, and requires GTK2+, GLIB, GNOME, and other standard libraries found on GNU/Linux and other popular operating systems.
This project consists of a fairly stable, working codebase that the author currently uses for his own development of ESI Objects (EO) code, yet which is under VERY active development to bring it in line with (and beyond) the feature set of the existing Windows-only IDE.
Main features:
- The Library and Class browser
- Property and Method editor windows
- Server Settings window
- Symbol Dump window (MUMPS/ESI Objects Command Interface)
- Object Documentation Pane (read-only at this point)

Brinance is a commandline financial planning and tracking program, hoping to be a functional replacement for something like GnuCash for those who prefer the command line.
Brinance does not have all the features of GnuCash, but it does have a few beyond being a checkbook register: scheduling transactions in the future, multiple accounts, recurring transactions, and a Perl module to allow just about any interface to the program to be easily written.
Enhancements:
- Recurring transactions were added, using a cron-like format.
- The file format was changed.
- Transfers were added.

Adun project is an extensible biomolecular simulation program that includes data management and analysis capabilities.

Adun provides advanced algorithms and protocols for molecular simulation which can be accessed from an intuitive user interface but also from a more flexible programmatic level. It is built on the Adun framework which is a powerful library for creating and manipulating simulations.

However it goes beyond just performing simulations by incorporating tools for analysis and management of simulation data aswell as providing mechanisms that allow the easy extension of its abilities. In many senses Adun is simply a structure that can incorporate any molecular simulation tools allowing it almost unlimited potential for growth.

Adun is a new extendible molecular simulation program that also includes data management and analysis capabilities. What follows is an overview of our main aims for the 1.0 version of our software. The current stable version is 0.6. The 1.0 target release date is early next year.

RenderMan is a RenderMan binding as a Perl 5.6 module.

SYNOPSIS

use RenderMan;

This RenderMan module implements a Perl 5.6 binding for the BMRT client library (libribout). It fully supports the client library. Therefore, this module has the following limitations: Error Handling callbacks are not implemented, Filter function callbacks are not implemented, and the TransformPoints function does nothing. Also, Blobby is not yet supported by BMRT 2.5.0.8.

The full RenderMan specification is way beyond the scope of this man page. Please refer to the documents below for more information about RenderMan. The Perl binding is identical to the C binding except a few minor points: All "parameterlist"s are passed as a reference to a hash (i.e. %params).

Anywhere that a functions arguments can be terminated by RI_NULL, you can simply choose to not include that RI_NULL argument, which is incredibly nice.
All array, matrix, and basis types are single-dimension arrays of doubles in this Perl binding. The order for 2-dimension types is first-row followed by second-row, etc.

You will typically want to run your RenderMan Perl script and pipe the results into any RenderMan-compliant renderer, such as "rgl", "rendribv", or "rendrib", which all come with the excellent BMRT backage by Larry Gritz.

If using the WinNT version of BMRT, you can specify a filename, "rgl" or "rendrib" as the argument to Begin(); and the output will be sent to a file or automatically piped to "rgl" or "rendrib" since the piping mechanism (and general functionality) of WinNTs command line parser is, uh, limited.

Beyond Linux From Scratch or BLFS in short, is a project that continues where the LFS book finishes. It assists users in developing their systems according to their needs by providing a broad range of instructions for installing and configuring various packages on top of a base LFS system.
Why would I want a BLFS system?
If you are wondering why you would want a BLFS system or dont know what LFS is then you dont want to be here just yet - you should head over to the LFS Project Homepage where all will be explained.
What can I do with my BLFS system?
Nearly anything! An LFS system is primed to become a system that fits whatever need you have. BLFS is the book that takes you down your own custom path. You could build an office workstation, a multimedia desktop, a router, a server, or all of the above! And the best part is you only install what you need.
Enhancements:
- Version 6.2.0 of BLFS has been released. Version 6.2.0 is the complement to the LFS 6.2 book. More time has elapsed between the release of the previous version (6.1) and this one than in any other release cycle. Much of this is due to the fact that LFS 6.2 took much longer to be released than was originally anticipated. Many new packages have been introduced in the 6.2.0 version, as well as many updates, refinements and additions to the existing packages.

Ypost is a command line usenet binary file poster. It provides both uuencoding and yEnc encoding posting, speed throttling, and flexible segment reposting ability.

I wrote ypost because I wanted a command-line posting program that runs under
Linux command line, and the one that was available (newspost) didnt support yEnc or throttling. I did a few updates to newspost and resubmitted the changes, but I felt that beyond a cartain point, it made more sense for me to write a new system. I decided this partially because after having used C++ for the last few years, C leaves me very nervous - there are too many ways in which C++ is far safer than C (automatic destruction, etc) and I just felt a rewrite was in order.

The installation is pretty primative. Ypost is a simple program, I hope it will compile up on most machines. Just type "make" at the command line, and when its done, copy the "ypost" executable to wherever you like, I suggest /usr/local/bin.

Perl Pop3 is a POP3 server fully implemented in Perl.
The advantages over other POP3 servers are that it is not a memory hog, and can be used to connect to databases for authentication.
Also, its code is easy to extend for any other uses, like POP-before-SMTP and extended logging.
Main features:
- Does not read the mailbox into memory, it reads what it needs as it processes the mailbox, so its memory requirements are low.
- Most email delivery is just printing out to the client; this is done in a fast and efficient way.
- It uses the systems users in the default unix way, but it can be changed to read users off a database (using DBI/DBD). It is prepared to use the database right away and can be extended or configured to use existing systems.
- It can be use to solve the smtp authentication via popauth or relay-domains (with sendmail) so users can be permitted to send smtp mail after pop3 authentication. This has been an effective solution for roaming users.
- Logging can be extended beyond the use of text files to any other method available in Perl, including database systems.
- Also, security is not an issue, as input is strictly controlled.
Using an easily modifiable daemon as part of a e-mail solution can be of great advantage over other existing systems in other languages. Further development will also try to incorporate more easily configurable extensions and plugins, so rapid deployment and extensibility is achieved.
