The Xbox Linux Project aims to privide a version of GNU/Linux for the Xbox, so that it can be used as an ordinary computer.
Linux should make use of all Xbox hardware and allow to install and run software from standard i386 Linux distributions.
An Xbox with Linux can be a full desktop computer with mouse and keyboard, a web/email box connected to TV, a server or router or a node in a cluster.
You can either dual-boot or use Linux only; in the latter case, you can replace both IDE devices. And yes, you can connect the Xbox to a VGA monitor.
Main features:
- You can run Linux on your Xbox!
- You can do it without a modchip!
- You can do it without opening your Xbox!

Biblos is a powerful indexing tool that can manage your CD/MP3 collection as well as local directories. It records full information about each file on the specified media, and has a powerful searching tool that can help you find specific files. Also you can select from the database a list of files/dirs and Biblos will help you in copying them from the source media to the dir choosed.

Still the most important feature of this program is its portability : it is intended to run as well on a unix platform ( X Windows required ) as on any flavor of Microsoft Windows . So you can easily use for example your MSWindows created databases on a Linux platform .

Biblos it is a fully running program now and with no bugs . You can start creating your databases because the index files have reached maturity and the format will be supported in the future releases also . Try now the lastest release !

SWISH++ is a Unix-based file indexing and searching engine (typically used to index and search files on web sites).
SWISH++ project was based on SWISH-E although SWISH++ is a complete rewrite. SWISH++ was developed to circumvent my difficulties with using the SWISH-E package.
SWISH++ has been ported to compile and run under Microsoft Windows by Robert J. Lebowitz and Christoph Conrad.
Main features:
- Lightning-fast indexing
- Indexes META elements, ALT, and other attributes
- Selectively not index text within HTML or XHTML elements
- Intelligently index mail and news files
- Index Unix manual page files
- Index LaTeX and RTF documents
- Index ID3 tags of MP3 files
- Index non-text files such as Microsoft Office documents
- Apply filters to files on-the-fly prior to indexing
- Modular indexing architecture
- Index new files incrementally
- Index remote web sites
- Handles large collections of files
- Lightning-fast searching
- Optional word stemming (suffix stripping)
- Ability to run as a search server
- Easy-to-parse results format
- XML results format
- Generously commented source code
Enhancements:

LibMSWrite is a free, platform-independent C++ filter library that can read and write the Microsoft Write 3.0/3.1 document format. LibMSWrite library supports what is believed to be the complete featureset of the Write file format.

It is fully portable across 32-bit and 64-bit architectures and has no dependencies other than C++. Both Linux, Windows and any other system that supports C++ is supported (STL is not required).

It employs XML-based code generation techniques to simplify the process of manipulating binary Write data structures, in a portable manner.

What can LibMSWrite do for me?

LibMSWrite provides a comprehensive API that serves as a significant abstraction layer for the Microsoft Write file format. Its primary use is in the "backend" of Write Import and Export filters for office suites. LibMSWrite simplifies the creation of such filters because developers no longer need to know the innards of the Write file format.

LibMSWrite forms the basis of the Write filters for KWord >= 1. (http://www.koffice.org), the word processor that complements the K Desktop Environment (http://www.kde.org), which is the most popular free GUI for Unix-based systems (e.g. Linux, FreeBSD).

The LibMSWrite Project does not just provide a library. It also includes:

- mswrite2html: program which converts Write files to XHTML
- list.h: alternative linked list implementation to STL
- xmlparser.cpp: quick & dirty XML parser
- wmf.cpp: WMF parser and BMP-to-WMF converter

Microsoft Write ?

Microsoft Write was the word processor included in Microsoft Windows 3.x (now more than a decade old). With the notable exception of tables, it supported all of the features needed for writing simple documents (essays, book reviews, reports etc.). The Microsoft Write format is almost completely unrelated to the, now (2003) de-facto, Microsoft Word format.

Microsoft Write files usually have the extension .WRI. Although, there are some .WRI files that are actually RTFs.

LibMSWrite was written because there was a need to guarantee that Write documents could continue to be read in the face of diminishing compatibility for old, binary document file formats. For instance, this is important if you have 7 years worth of work in the format...

The LibMSWrite project is not endorsed by Microsoft.
