Icon execute feedback replaces the zooming rectangle that is drawn if you activate an icon in konqueror for execution feedback. It removes the rectangle and instead zooms the icon bigger and fades it out while doing. Its like MacOS X execution feedback.
Currently works in Konqueror, Kicker and all file dialogs. You will need a machine > 600 MHz for this though, else the
animation may be slow.
This is a patch against kdebase-3.5.6 and kdelibs-3.5.6
So you have to recompile the two packages. Please only do
that if you are experienced enough with recompiling KDE.
Apply the patches as follows:
1. Get kdebase-3.5.6
2. Get kdelibs-3.5.6
3. Get this patch
4. Unpack all archives
5. Change to the dir you unpacked kdelibs
6. Execute "patch -p1 7. Recompile kdelibs
8. Install kdelibs (necessary as some header files changed)
9. Change to the dir you unpacked kdebase
7. Execute "patch -p1 8. Recompile kdebase
9. Install kdebase
10. Logout of kde and then login again.
11. Watch the icons zooming
Have fun. If you dont understand the step by step manual above please inform yourself about how to recompile KDE on kde.org
Enhancements:
- Slowed down the animation a bit

Regina is a Rexx interpreter that has been ported to most Unix platforms (Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, etc.) and also to OS/2, eCS, DOS, Win9x/Me/NT/2k/XP, Amiga, AROS, QNX4.x, QNX6.x BeOS, MacOS X, EPOC32, AtheOS, OpenVMS, SkyOS and OpenEdition.
Rexx is a programming language that was designed to be easy to use for inexperienced programmers yet powerful enough for experienced users. It is also a language ideally suited as a macro language for other applications.
I am not the author of Regina, but have assumed responsibilities for future maintenance with the full support of the author, Anders Christensen.
There are two major goals for Regina:
- become 100% compliant with the ANSI Standard.
- be available on as many platforms as possible
With the release of Regina 3.1, the first goal has been achieved. Regina now implements all ANSI features, as far as I know. Until an ANSI test suite is available, then youll have to take my word for it.
Enhancements:
- Integration of Florians Generic Call Interface (GCI) into Regina.
- Supported platforms to date are Windows, OS/2 and Linux.
- Fixed bug with TRACE F and its "conversion" into "N" on a subsequent call to TRACE BIF.
- Addition of Polish native language support courtesy of Bartosz Kozlowski.
- PARSE LOWER and PARSE CASELESS added.
- Major changes to EXIT handling
- Regina determines internal and external queues by the fact that external queues MUST have a @ in the name. Therefore any time a queue name is used; in RXQUEUE or ADDRESS...WITH, then if the queue name has a @ then Regina treats this as an external queue, and requires the RXSTACK server to be running.
- New BIF POOLID. Allows the current variable pool number to be obtained (effectively the level of called subroutines).
- VALUE BIF allows environment to be a number corresponding to a variable pool number. Therefore unEXPOSEd variables in any subroutine can be accessed.
- API functions Rexx*Dll() now implemented.
- Locale support for BIFs like TRANSLATE now supported, and can be overridden from command line. (-l switch)
- Algorithm for determining where a Rexx program is (either from command line, or a CALL statement called. Apart from a change in the precedence of directories an environment variable REGINA_SUFFIXES is used to supplement the file extensions that Regina uses to append to the passed file name. More details can be found in the Regina documentation.
- Regina OPTIONS can now be specified as an environment variable, which will set the
- default values for OPTIONS. The OPTIONS instruction can still be used and will override the defaults.
- A new OPTION has been added; CALLS_AS_FUNCS to allow programs that use the non-ANSI format of "CALL label(arg1,arg2)". Although this is implemented as an OPTION, it can only be set via the REGINA_OPTIONS environment variable!
- Another new OPTION; QUEUES_301 to duplicate the behaviour of Regina queues; both
- internal and external.
- Some memory leak fixes with INTERPRET and some "handle leaks" under Windows fixed.
- Initial support for SkyOS
- Fixed some old bugs: (documented in BUGS file) 19991216-29512, 20000319-63722, 36

Pioneer Linux is a desktop-oriented, Kubuntu-based distribution targeted at new as well as experienced Linux users. The product comes in two flavours: as a freely downloadable live and installation CD, and as a commercial boxed edition with CrossOver Office and technical support.
Test and try before you install Thats right, you can test Pioneer Linux running off the CD before you decide to perform an installation. This means that you can actually run your operating system and learn it before you install or make that critical decision to leave your previous operating system installation. ASPEN for older computers is not a live CD.
Burn CDs Yes take a look at our screenshots and youll see weve included a utility named K3b so you can burn your CDs or DVDs! K3b is a simple yet powerful tool thats simple to use
Browse the Internet safely Yes its safe! You can browse the Internet safely when you use Pioneer Linux. Its not the same anymore with people dropping viruses or keystroke loggers because of that old unsafe browser youve been using for years! Go wild and have fun!
Listen to music You can listen to your favorite music while working using the CD Player included or make cuts and create your own CD from your music! You decide, the tools are included!
Word processing and more! Yes thats right! Your Pioneer Linux operating system comes with OpenOffice.org that allows you to exchange documents with Word users. You even have the opportunity to run spreadsheets and create professional presentations. More? yes a database application is new with OpenOffice.org 2.0
Play some games Weve packed Pioneer with loads of games to help you kill some time. Want more than those included? Check the knowledge base for more games that can be run like Savage or Civilization.
Utilities Weve included some of the best utilities to manage your operating system today. These utilities come with even our basic ASPEN application so you can manage your system day-to-day!
Enhancements:
- Technalign, Inc. has released Pioneer Basic 2.1 of its base Linux operating system. Pioneer Basic 2.1 is being released on DVD. Technalign will continue to ship Pioneer Basic 2.0 for those users who do not wish to purchase a DVD drive for their systems. Pioneer Basic 2.1 is similar to Basic 2.0 with several exceptions. The biggest exception is that Pioneer 2.1 is based on Feisty and not Edgy while it continues to be based on Kubuntu. Adept is no longer incorporated as the update manager, but is now replaced with Synaptic per the business and consumer communities. Also notable are the Guarddog Firewall as well as the KlamAV anti-virus utilities that have been added and OpenOffice.org 2.2.

import_checker checks Python programs for circular (or recursive) imports.

Python is a fine programming language. There is one horrendous thing with it though, that bites even the most experienced python programmers every now and then: the scope of variables.

Weve been taught to use the keyword global, and heartily do so. Still, problems occur when running into a "recursive import" problem.

Example:

### program A ###

import B

var = 0

if __name__ == __main__:
var = 10
B.doit()

### module B ###

import A

def doit():
print A.var

### end of example ###

Module B will see A.var having value 0, even though in program A we assigned it a value of 10. Python is right and it is not a python bug, but it is $#@! confusing and it is being caused by the recursive import; A imports B, and B imports A.

The import_checker.py is a tool that detects recursive imports.

This problem only occurs for global variables in modules.

The best way of solving the problem is to put var into a new module C,
and import C from both A and B.

Eclipse FieldViewer is a structured viewer component that displays data entry fields for model objects in a user defined, form based layout.
Eclipse FieldViewer is similar to the TableViewer component from JFace. Eclipse Fieldviewer separates the model from viewers in a similar way using Content- and Labelproviders to bind the data to the fields of the viewer. A Fieldviewer can display an array of similar elements. Unlike a tableviewer only a single element is shown at a time. The layout of the fields is not predefined as in a tableviewer.
This widget can be used in software using other JFace components (eg RCP applications).
Main features:
- interface similar to that of a JFace-TableViewer()
- ContentProvider(), LabelProvider() and Font-/ColorProvider()
- fields can display text and/or image
- ViewerSorter() and ViewerFilter()
- semi-automatic layout for simple requirements
- fully configurable layout of fields if necessary
- editable fields using standard CellEditors
Unlike a table viewer the Eclipse Fieldviewer is not a widget that has very unique features by itself. An experienced programmer can easily create the fields from scratch or use a tool for this task.
An Eclipse Fieldviewer widget is nice if you have to display data from a database where the user decides which element to display. It is also very well suited if you combine a Tableviewer()/TreeViewer() with a FieldViewer() and the user can decide how he wants the data displayed. Editable fields in these widgets use CellEditors to change the contents of the underlying model so the corresponding code can be reused and is not specifically tied to a single field.
