Free direct software for linux

Direct Access Provider Library in short DAPL is a transport-independent, platform-independent, high-performance API for using the remote direct memory access (RDMA) capabilities of modern interconnect technologies such as InfiniBand, the Virtual Interface Architecture, and iWARP.
This is the reference implementation of that specification by the DAT Collaborative who maintain the DAPL API.
Enhancements:
- Support was added for new IB verbs client register event.
- Some problems supporting create qp without recv cq handle or recv qp resources were fixed.
- Some timeout and long disconnect delay issues exposed during scalability tests were fixed.
- Minor build problems were fixed.
- Support for multiple IB devices was added to dat.conf to support IPoIB HA failover.
- Support for returning local and remote port information was added.
- The RPM spec file was cleaned up.
- Enviroment variables to configure connection management timers were added.

dctcd is a background-running wrapper for DCTC (Direct Connect Text Client) that automates the running of servers, gathers upload statistics, and works as a chat bot.
There are a few GUIs, some of them are graphical (dc_gui, dc_gui2, dc_qt, ...), other are text based client (danae, ldcc,...) and other are console frontend (rccp).
Enhancements:
- done log file contains upload log.
- fix the incorrect information sent to the UI when uploading a file bigger than 2GB (only the display is buggy, the transfer works).
- update .spec file to support fedora (based on Sammy Atmadja modification).

IsForth is a direct threaded Linux-only x86 Forth implementation coded in pure assembly using NASM macros to create forth high-level definitions.
All I/O is done with syscalls. IsForth is almost a complete replacement for both libc and libncurses.
To use the debugger say debug xyzzy and from within the debugger..
Space - single steps
Enter - enters into words that nest
Escape - exits debugger
Cursor - move cursor within current definition
h - run to cursor location
H - auto step to current location
While auto stepping + and - change the step speed
Enhancements:
- The finishing touches were put on the keyboard handling for special keys.

The aim of the program is to make it as easy as possible for people to do their own personal budgets and keep track of their finances.
Main features:
- Create a budget and organize budget items into categories.
- Nominate budget items to be paid from either a cash account or via a "Direct Debit" account which allows you to save for big ticket items and ensure timely payment of scheduled bills.
- Automatically calculates how much money you must put aside each fortnight to meet all your "Direct Debit" obligations.
- Automatically tells you how much money you must have in Direct Debit account to meet your obligatory payments on any particular date.
- Record and save expenses against each of your budget categories.
- Track how your expenses relate to your budget so you can determine if you are over or under-spending in any of your categories.
- Sort your records into categories or by date.
- Comes with realistic example to show how things work.
- Allows you to export any of your reports, records, budget and Direct Debit status to the Gnumeric Spreadsheet program where they can be either printed or used for more detailed analysis.
- Allows you to export any of your reports, records, budget and Direct Debit status to the AbiWord WordProcessor program where they can be printed or incorporated into a report.

python-dime project provides a way to parse and generate DIME messages.

Direct Internet Message Encapsulation (DIME) is a binary message format that can be used to encapsulate multiple payloads into a single message.

GtkDC is a client for the Direct Connect peer-to-peer network written in C using GTK+ widgets. GtkDC currently supports full hub management (chat and userlist) and search, but not transfers yet.

dc-qt is a graphical user interface for a direct connect client called DCTC which is available for Linux and other flavours of UNIX. As the name suggests, it is written using Qt. dc-qt is currently under development and should be considered beta software. dc-qt project is already quite usable, though.

The important features of DCTC are supported (except for virtual share -- we will never support that). Some included features are completely unrelated to DCTC, but are useful and convenient in your day-to-day file sharing activities. Exactly what is implemented and not is for us to know and you to find out (and wish for); the feature list changes quickly.
