Free needs software for linux

TkNewsII is a QWK and NNTP echomail and Usenet news client.

This package needs a basic C compiler, Tcl/Tk (8.3 or later), BWidget (1.7 or later), and Snit (part of Tcllib). LaTeX and tex4ht are needed to build the documentation (PDF and HTML).

To build:

./configure [--with-bwlib=BWIDGETDIR] [--with-snitlib=SNITDIR] [standard configure options
make
make install

Youll need a $HOME/.TkNewsRc file, which will contain your news configuration information.

MyNews www provides a Web interface for MyNews.

MyNews www is a set of Perl CGI scripts to access the news stored in a MyNews server and to manage Web site subscriptions.

It needs the MyNews script to be installed.

Archimedes is an Open CAD for architects.

Archimedes is a Computer Aided Design (CAD) program developed side by side with architecture offices in order to fulfill all their needs.

This way, we hope to develop software better suited for architects than the currently widely used AutoCAD.

Kanaputs is an interpreter for Java. With Kanaputs you can use Java as an interpreted language: no more compilation, each instruction is executed when you write it.

It is a small programmation language to make script files above Java.

If you know Java and you dont want to learn a new script language like PERL, KSH, CSH, but you need powerful scripting features like TCL/TK then Kanaputs fits your needs. Moreover, Kanaputs is made to be integrated to your Java code, so each time you need something complex to do, you can make the algorithm in Java and call it from Kanaputs.

JPerfmeter is a Java Performance statistics monitor.

JPerfmeter is a simple performance statistics monitor in the style of perfmeter, full Java.

Note that JPerfmeter needs the rpc.rstatd daemon to be running on the system its monitoring (available on Solaris systems and other various UNIX/Linux systems).

Gnu Digital Signal Processor Simulator. To use the tool, currently youll need a C54x executable to load. You can compile binutils for the C54x and compile the test program in gDSPsims test directory to try things out.

Work is starting on the TMS320C55x but it still needs a lot of work to be useful for non-developers.

Katakana Table is a katakana table karamba theme. Useful for learning katakana. When one clicks on a character a passive popup will come up with the romaji and hiragana for that katakana.

If you middle click a character it will copy it to the clipboard. This theme uses unicode so your local probably needs to be utf8.

I havent tested that, im just speculating. works well with my hirgana table (http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=33568) which is due for a major reworking.
