GIMP Animation Package is a collection of Plug-Ins to extend the GIMP with capabilities to edit and create Animations as sequences of single frames.

Please note that gimp-gap 2.2.1 requires gimp 2.2 and glib 2.8 or higher. It is recommended to use gtk+ 2.8.

Additional Installation Notes:

This GIMP-GAP release includes sourcecode tarballs of external libraries :

- ffmpeg
- libmpeg3

Those libs are built automatically. Configuration options for those libs can be set by editing the
files:

extern_libs/configure_options_ffmpeg.txt
extern_libs/configure_options_libmpeg3.txt

Those configure_option files are read by the master .configure script

Installation:

./autogen.sh # includes the ./configure call
make
make install

GIMP is an acronym for GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is a freely distributed program for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition and image authoring.

Genomorama: Genome Visualization is a multi-scale, multi-genome, multi-platform visualization and analysis program. It provides a powerful yet easy to use interface that leverages the visualization power of modern computers (via OpenGL) and the substantial bioinformatic infrastructure provided by the NCBI (via the NCBI C toolkit).
Genomorama is written in portable, highly optimized C++ and comes in three "flavors" that allow it to run natively on (most) modern operating systems: OS X (using Carbon), Microsoft Windows (using MFC), and Linux (using Motif). Executables and source code are freely provided for all flavors.
Main features:
- High performance has not been sacrificed on the altar of portability
- OpenGL graphics take advantage of the video-game optimized graphics cards available in most desktop and laptop computers.
- C++ allows transparent and complete utilization of system resources (like memory).
- Native windowing toolkits (Carbon, MFC and Motif) for every operating system facilitate responsiveness and ease of use.
- A stand-alone, self-contained executable frees Genomorama from dependence on third party applications.
- Source code for all platforms is freely available.
- An attractive, full featured user interface
- Genomorama presents a clean, uncluttered user interface.
- Multi-scale rendering displays relevant details while maintaining readability.
- Use a keyboard or a mouse to efficiently zoom, pan and explore genomes of arbitrary size.
- Attractive WYSIWYG Postscript and GIF output formats yield publication quality images.
- Novel features to aid genome analysis
- In addition to the standard searching options (like query by sequence and gene name), Genomorama offers "forward and reverse" DNA hybridization based searches.
- Provide a pair of PCR primers, and Genomorama will output the amplicons.
- Provide a hybridization probe and Genomorama will find binding sites.
- Provide a pair of Padlock probes and Genomorama will identify binding locations
- Provide a set of PCR primer criteria (length, melting temperature, base composition, etc.) and Genomorama will find PCR primers.
- Genomorama can display and search an arbitrary number of genomes (limited only by computer memory).
- Harness the power of the NCBI toolkit to directly access and search the NCBI Entrez database.
- Compute melting profile, in addition to traditional base composition plots (i.e. %G+C, %A+T, etc).
Enhancements:
- This release fixes the following bugs: parsing gbk files that contain single base annotations on the complement strand;
- missed exact matches at 3 end of target sequence;
- fragile parsing of annotation range;
- downloading of very large Genbank records (i.e. human chromosomes);
- and omitted intergenic space following single base annotations (i.e. SNPs).
- Custom color records are now saved to and read from GBK files.
- An OS X Intel-specific executable has been added.
- The information dialog box has been made resizable.

City info search enables you to get all the information about any city in the USA with a mouse click.

Get all the information about any city in the USA with a mouse click. This includes geography, population, ethnic composition, housing, climate, hospitals, airports, etc.

Usage: highlight the name on any US city on a page. Right click the mouse. Choose Get City Info.

No annoing toolbars.

ASork Live Music Studio is a live cd with Debian GNU/Linux made of Morphix. ASork Live Music Studio is usefull for recording music either as a complete sofware studio or as a part in a more complex setup.
Main features:
- hard disk recorder
- midi composition tools
- drum loop programs
- vocoder
- other real time effect processing tools
It can boot and run directly from CD-ROM or be installed to hard disk with morphixinstaller. This means that the Linux audio architecture such as jack and alsa is pre-configured and easy to install.
Root privileges
There is no default root password set on the CD therefore is sudo used for super user privileges. Execute these commands in a terminal:
sudo sh
passwd
exit
su
HDD-Install
Start a terminal and get root privileges, as described above. Execute the command for starting the installer:
morphixinstaller
Keyboard configuration in X
If you want to set your x-windows-system to use another keyboard layout execute "setxkbmap < Keyboad language abrevation >". To set X to use swedish keyboard execute:
setxkbmap se
Jack
Some audio applications does not communicate directly with the soundcard. In that case is most commonly Jack is used as an interface witch enables multiply applications to output sound simultaneously. You need to manually start jack before starting applications such as ardour and jack-rack. Start jack grapical control:
qjackctl
Start jack in a terminal:
jackd -d alsa
There is an shortcut in the menu named "Jack Control", this is a graphical interface for the jack server. You might need to configure jack from this program in order to make it run well on your system.
NVIDIA video card
If you have NVIDA card boot Sork with the boot option xmodule set to nvidia. From the grub boot menu select More Boot Options->NV driver.
VESA cards is handled in the same way; select More Boot Options->VESA driver in the grub boot loader.

Pine is a tool for reading, sending, and managing electronic messages. Pine was designed by the Office of Computing & Communications at the University of Washington specifically with novice computer users in mind, but it can be tailored to accommodate the needs of "power users" as well.
Pine project uses Internet message protocols (e.g. RFC-822, MIME, SMTP, IMAP, NNTP) and runs on Unix and PCs.
