Free improved software for linux

silc improved is an SILC client without a user interface. silc improved does output via files and input throught FIFOs. Most features of SILC are implemented.
Commands:
/j < channel > join to a channel
/l [channel] leave the actual or named channel
/msg < nick > < message > send a private message
/set signed < on|off > Set signing of messages on/off
/set signal_detach < on|off > When SIGTERM or SIGINT is caught, si detaches the session
/query < nick > Start a query with the user, so all private messages are no longer written in the master channel. the query has his own directory under $silcidr/query/$username
/names prints the users of the actual channel
and all other silc commands ( unkown commands are directly send to the server )
Usage:
There are endless possibilities using si. i use in one window a multitail and in the other the python input shell, you can find in the CVS.
Installation;
first you had to install libsilc (http://silcnet.org)
cd $sourcedir
make
make install (as root)
When your SILC includes/libs are not in /usr/local/silc you had to specify them like this
make SILCINCLUDE=/path/to/silc/include SILCLIB=/path/to/silc/lib
Enhancements:
- This release has been ported to SILC toolkit 1.1.
- The code has been cleaned up.

Go-moku Apprentice project consists of a gomoku player learning from its own mistakes.
Thus, for starters it plays like crap, but it gets real good after only a few games. Its rather scary actually.
Enhancements:
- With version 0.5, the apprentice playing engine has improved somewhat.
- Making a winning move always gets a score of INT_MAX, and making a losing move always gets a score of INT_MIN.
- The improved playing engine cost me some computing power, but Ive also been playing with gprof which should negate that effect somewhat.

msn-pecan 0.0.19 offers you a very alternative MSN protocol plugin for libpurple. The current development of the MSN protocol plug-in seems to be lagging because of bad development decisions. This is a fork of that code with a much faster development process.
