Installation:
- Decompress and extract the provided *.tar.gz archive.
- This will create a folder ProMimport, containing all files necessary.
- Start the application by running the provided shell script start.sh.
- The import filter plugins delivered with your installation package are located in the Plugins folder inside the ProMimport directory.
- Load the plugins (which are packaged in *.jar files) that you want to use from within the running app. For that, use Load filter plugin.. from the Filters menu.
- 3rd party plugins, or plugins developed by you, can be added to the application in exactly the same manner.
- Once imported, filters are automatically added to the applications filter cache, and zre re-loaded on every successive startup. Further, all filter and application configuration data is transparently made persistent by the application.
- Thus, after importing all filter plugins necessary, you can safely delete the Plugins folder.
Enhancements:
- This is the initial release of the ProM framework under the new open source CPL license.
- Installers / disk images are provided for Windows and Mac OS X, while the provided source archive is also executable on all platforms supporting Java 5.0.
- Notice that this release depends on a Java runtime environment of version 1.5 / 5.0 or later.
- Prior JRE releases may yield unexpected errors.

JDBCImporter provides a consistent mechanism for importing data from a file to a database, exporting data from a database to a file, and generating data.

BORG is a combination calendar and task tracking system. The calendar supports simple todos. The Task Tracker goes way beyond todos.
BORG is basically meant to be a small self-contained Java application that you can run locally. Many users run BORG Calendar and Task Tracker from a thumb drive.
BORG actually stands for Berger-Organizer. Unfortunately, the name BORG seems to be a popular choice for software products, probably due to the number of Star Trek fans that write code. The fact that BORG calendar also seems to refer to the Microsoft Outlook calendar makes things even more confusing. Oh well....
Why would anyone want to use a home-grown calendar/task tracker when there are so many others out there, freeware and otherwise?
A potential BORG user might agree with the following:
- I use a calendar/task tracker to remind me to do everything in life that I have to do.
- I do not want to set up a web server just to see my calendar
- I do not want to access the internet to see my calendar
- I work on Linux, Windows and other OSs and would like any of my machines to run my calendar program
- I dont want to have to worry about my calendar not working if I upgrade linux, windows, glibc, mySQL, apache, < fill in any third-party software that causes things to stop working >, etc...
- I like open source software. Even if the developer(s) die, I can still build and enhance my calendar program.
Main features:
- Nice Month-at-a-time view
- To-Do list
- Month-print
- Repeating Appointments
- Private Appointments that do not show by default (for recording things like "rectal exam 2pm" that you dont need your friends/coworkers to see over your shoulder).
- The Task Tracker tracks issues and tasks through a set of states with start and end dates, sub-tasks, descriptions, and resolutions.
- Pop-up reminders
- Email reminders
- User tunable task types and state transitions in the task tracker
- Week and Day Views
- A simple address book
- File-based DB or MySQL DB
- XML import/export
- iCal import/export

Imsptool is a command line tool to communicate with an IMSP server. It allows you to create, delete, import, and export address books.
imsptool imports and exports using the LDIF format. Netscape Messenger and LDAP directory servers such as OpenLDAP use this file format directly.
IMSP is an internet protocol designed to complement IMAP. It stores additional mail user agent configuration information, including address books. IMSP is supported by very few mailers (Simeon by Esys Corp. and Mulberry are two I know of) and is considered obsolete. The ACAP protocol was designed to replace IMSP, but caught on yet.
X.500/LDAP is becoming the standard way to store large e-mail directories.
imsptool was developed to provide an easy way to use IMSP address books in Netscape Messenger. Additionally, it can be used to migrate IMSP address books to LDAP directories.
imsptool has been compiled and tested on Linux 2.2 and Solaris 2.7. It has been tested and works with the Cyrus IMSP server version 1.5a6.
Enhancements:
- imsptool.c: fixed buggy read_literal again, implemented mailing lists on import addressbook, implemented rename command

pyNetConv is a Python library created to help the conversion of some network file formats.
Since version 0.6, pyNetConv is capable to read/write (and convert from/to) the following file formats:
- Pajek network files (.net)
- Pajek cluster files (.clu)
- Cytoscape network files (.sif)
- Cytoscape node attributes files
- GML files
And from version 0.8 it is able to import tab-separated values exported by Affymetrix Micro Array Suite 5.0 (MAS5) and export this data as Cytoscape node attributes or expression data (.pval file).
pyNetConv is a library to create a software that is able to read/write networks in the formats supported by pyNetConv. If all you want is convert the files without the need create a program, then the Graphical user interface is for you. See the screenshots session to see how the GUI looks like.
Enhancements:
- Support for isolated (not connected) nodes in SIF format was added.
- The SIF, NET, and GML formats now support direction and isolated nodes.
- A NX2netconv() method was added (complementary to netconv2NX()) along with a new filter option in importSIF().
- It is now possible to import only selected interaction types.
