Free book collection software for linux

C Comic Collection project is a GTK application for downloading, cataloging, and viewing Web comics. It uses a MySQL database.
To compile this software, just type "make".
It requires development libraries for gtk, gtk_imlib, cURL, mysql and pthreads. If youre on Linux these should come with your distrobution; I dunno for other OS. If you only have the runtimes and are using a 386 derivative (Pentium et al) you can get a binary from http://c-comiccollect.sourceforge.net.
Compilation will produce a binary called "gtk-cc"; copy this to your /usr/bin (youll need root privileges, copy to your ~/bin (you wont) or just run it from where it is (./gtk-cc &).
You can populate the database by running the included "comiccollection.sql" against an empty database. (mysql -u < username > < dbname > < comiccollection.sql). It even includes some comics to get you started!
Enhancements:
- Minor improvements - only really relevant if you view KeenSpace comics.
- Fixed file non-deletion problem
- Fixed KeenSpace file download problem

ABSTRACT

Code hierarchy generation for bean like Perl modules

PerlBean::Collection contains a collection of PerlBean objects in order to generate an hierarchy of Perl modules.

My cOLLection manager is a manager program for your collections. My cOLLection manager is a fast and easy to use frontend for gdbm with an ncurses interface.

The program was originally designed to organize a large music CD collection, but it is has no restrictions on the entry of any other large range of items. Its main goal is flexibillity.

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.

Book Layout Generator is a tool that comes handy when printing long documents in a book fashion.

Book Layout Generator tool generates the correct page sequence to print long documents in a book fashion.

You just need to specify how many pages are there in your document and whether to print 2 or 4 pages on each papersheet side (the latter requires cutting the sheets). You can optionally divide the document into sub-volumes and pack them separately. This tool will produce the exact sequence to feed your print dialog with.

If you need to print a book from bottom to top (some books are read from right to left), you can also check the proper option for doing that.

My Address Book is a web-based address book designed to help you keep a record of your friends addresses, providing a list of your contacts (which may be filtered), categories, details of a particular contact, export and import of data (e.g. from spreadsheets), and a Christmas card list.
To use My Address Book you need to have access to some web space that allows you to use PHP and MySQL. If you want your address book to be private (which is highly recommended!) you will need to set it up inside a password-protected directory in your web space.
Installation:
If you want to use My Address Book over the Internet so you can access your addresses wherever you are, you will need some web space which allows you to use PHP and MySQL. If you only want to use My Address Book on a single computer, you will need a web server (e.g. Apache) which supports PHP and you will need MySQL.
Enhancements:
- The dates of birth of contacts may now be stored.
