Free boss 2.0 software for linux

KVerbos helps users to study Spanish verb forms with this program.

It took a lot of time. But now a new version of KVerbos is coming into view. With KVerbos it is possible to train Spanish verb forms. The screenshots show some views of the new version.

The difference to the old program is that it now uses the data of the compjugador project. This means that a lot of Spanish verbs come with the program and it isnt necessary to enter them first anymore. The program can read .kvtlm files of the KVoctrain project. It collects the verbs out of these files and you can train them. It is already possible to select the tenses you want to train, too.

At the moment it isnt possible to store your verbselection. I hope this will come soon.

PostGIS adds support for geographic objects to the PostgreSQL object-relational database. In effect, PostGIS "spatially enables" the PostgreSQL server, allowing it to be used as a backend spatial database for geographic information systems (GIS), much like ESRIs SDE or Oracles Spatial extension.

PostGIS follows the OpenGIS "Simple Features Specification for SQL" and will be submitted for conformance testing at version 1.0.

PostGIS has been developed by Refractions Research Inc as a research project in open source spatial database technology. PostGIS is released under the GNU General Public License. Our list of future projects includes enhanced technology for data loading and dumping, user interface tools for direct data access and manipulation, and support for advanced topologies at the server side, such as coverages, networks, and surfaces.

There are now several open source tools which work with PostGIS. The uDig project is working on a full read amd write desktop environment that can work with PostGIS directly.

For internet mapping, the University of Minnesota Mapserver can use PostGIS as a data source. The GeoTools Java GIS toolkit has PostGIS support, as does the GeoServer Web Feature Server.

GRASS now supports PostGIS as a data source, through the PostGRASS driver. The JUMP Java desktop GIS viewer has a simple plugin for reading PostGIS data, and the QGIS desktop has good PostGIS support.

PostGIS data can be exported to several output GIS formats using the OGR C++ library and commandline tools (and of cource with the bundled Shape file dumper). And of course any language which can work with PostgreSQL can work with PostGIS -- the list includes Perl, PHP, Python, TCL, C, C++, Java, and more.

Installation:

Un-tar the PostGIS tar-ball in the contrib directory of your PostgreSQL source tree. You must untar the PostGIS source there or the Makefile will not work. You must have the PL/pgSQL prodedural language installed before installing PostGIS.

cd contrib
gunzip postgis-0.9.0.tar.gz
tar xvf postgis-0.9.0.tar
cd postgis-0.9.0
make
make install
createlang plpgsql yourtestdatabase
psql -d yourtestdatabase -f postgis.sql
psql -d yourtestdatabase -f spatial_ref_sys.sql

apoo project is an environment for a first course in assembly language programming.

It is implemented in Python and has the following components: apoo virtual machine is a virtual processor with a very simple architecture and instruction set that mimics almost all the essential features of a modern microprocessor.

As the aim is to teach assembly language, there is no machine code associated with the instruction set.

apoo Interface is a graphical environment that monitors the state of the machine during the execution of a program and allows the writing/editing/execution of programs in assembly language.

apoo Tutor is a module for grading of student programs based on a description of what the execution of the program should be for specified input data sets.

Oroborus basically is a really minimalistic window manager, which is about 75kb small on a PowerPC machine and about 63kb on an x86 machine. "Minimalistic" means that the Oroborus window manager doesnt provide some things other window managers provide.
So you will need some external tools also provided by this project.
The main improvement with this is that you gain much flexibility.
Main features:
- good default key bindings
- windows are moveable by keyboard
- highly configurable
- xpm-themable
- GNOME compatible
- NET_WM compatible
- sort of KDE compatible
- and many, many more...
Enhancements:
- New Release.
- Add some Themes (defold, bluecurve, mkultra, Elberg_Red, Elberg_Green, Elberg_Blue)
- Fix "oroborus -V".

speyes project is a South Park-inspired xeyes dockapp for WindowMaker.
It works as a dock app with WindowMaker, and as a normal X window with other window managers.
Enhancements:
- second release.

vines is a small application which draws vines on your X or SunView screen.
vines draws vines (wandering plants made up mostly of stems and leaves) on your X11 or SunView screen.
By default it draws in black and white, but color options (spring and fall) are provided.
The vines can grow across the top of your screen and down the side, down from the top of your screen until they reach the bottom, or start from the center and wander all over the screen forever.
Enhancements:
- added -z option (show version)
- added -F option (was described in README, but unimplemented!)
- added -x option (X11 synchronize)
- added -G option (growth rate)
- added -E option (edges, including bottom)
- added -P option (palette files, with samples in Vines/)
- beefed up -g option
- changed -h to -H for halt, added -h for help (like -?)
- revamped help
- various code cleanups
- various command line option and error message cleanups
- minor optimizations
- code now compiles cleanly (for X and linux, anyway)
- patched for ugly runtime bug on Dell/Linux 2.0.34/gcc 2.7.2
- added man page, CHANGES, MANIFEST, LEGALSTUFF
- added Imakefile, Makefile-noImake
- revamped README
- changed name to vines
- added sample leaf and stem template files (Sample.leaf, Sample.stem)

picoSQL project is the first Italian Open Source relational database management system.
The project of picoSQL was born in 1995. It was an ODBC driver for COBOL indexed files. It consisted of a DLL written in C++ on Windows 3.1 operating system. In the beginning the main effort was made in order to obtain a good compatibity with existing front-end (mainly the MS-Access, MS-Query and VisualBasic) and in order to see COBOL files as a normalized relational DB.
The obtained success concurs to develop ulteriorly the product, refining the query optimizer and implementing an extended SQL, to exclusion of the DDL (Data Description Language). A later version, called PicoDB, were devoloped on UNIX system in client/server architecture.
PicoSql is released under GPL license; it derives from PicoDB (that remains a Picosoft proprietary product) with the addition of some SQL-DDL statement (CREATE/DROP TABLE(INDEX) and excluding COBOL files compatibility). The C/C++ library that allow the database access from C/C++ programs using the ODBC 2.5 API is released under LGPL license; this allows to link the library with programs that are not under GPL.
PicoSQL can be used from Windows applications (like MS-ACCESS, MS-Query, VB etc.) in client/server modality using the ODBC driver picoSQLNet. It can moreover be used from appropriate Java programs through the JDBC driver comprised in the distribution. Finally it can be used from programs written in C and C++ through its set of ODBC 2.5 compliant API.
PicoSQL lacks at the moment of some common characteristics to the most common RDBMS (like the schema and catalogue concepts and the management of the user permissions who can be obtained anyway using the permissions of the host operating system) but they are just these lacks to make it particularly simple to install and to use and fast in the logons and the queries.
Installation:
The installation is particularly simple: if you have the binary distribution, is sufficient to extract the compressed files in one directory ( under Windows NT/2000/XP) and execute:
startTestDb.sh (Unix/Linux)
PicoSQL consists fundamentally in a program, picosqld, to activate through inetd (or xinetd) or picoserv. In such a way it becomes a net service binded to a port, that is to a entire number comprised between 1 and 65535; this number (as an example 6789) must always be specified on the command line of picosqld. As an example:
picosqld 6789
For the activation with inetd (or xinetd), you must see the relative documentation. picoserv is a simple program that replaces inetd, mainly for scopes of test or debugging: its usage is the following:
picoserv [-f] commandLine portNumber
In our case the activation of picosqld can be obtained with the following command line:
picoserv "picosqld 6789" 6789
To notice as the port number is specified two times, as an argument of picosqld and as an argument of picoserv.
When picosqld receive a connection request, it reads a configuration file to find the necessary informations. This file is a text file on Unix/Linux systems.
# Unix/Lunixthe file read for configuration is
$HOME/.picosql.ini
or, if this file is missing
/etc/picosql.ini
The file consists of sections and parameters. A section begins with the name of the section in square brackets and continues until the next section begins. Sections contain attributes of the form
name=value
The file is line-based - that is, each newline-terminated line represents either a comment, a section name or a parameter. Section and parameter names are not case sensitive. Only the first equals sign in a parameter is significant. Any line beginning with a semicolon (;) or a hash (#) character is ignored, as are lines containing only whitespace. Each section corresponds to a database and comprises information like user, password and DB location. In the following example there are two database declared, the former called picoSqlTest, is accessible by anyone while the latter, called rubrica is accessible only by user pico giving the appropriate password.
[picoSqlTest]
DataDirectory=/home/test.db
[rubrica]
DataDirectory=/home/rubrica.db
User=pico
Password=soft
PicoOdbcTrace=NO
SuspensiveLock=YES
; for picosql client only
server=localhost
port=6789
Enhancements:
- This version fixes a problem on authentication and a bug when the connection fails.
