Free plus 4 software for linux

plus4emu is a portable emulator of the Commodore Plus/4 computer. It supports Windows and POSIX platforms (32 bit Windows and 32 and 64 bit Linux have been tested).
The project implements accurate, high quality hardware emulation, but the system requirements are higher than that of most other emulators.
Enhancements:
- TED emulation improvements were made.
- The frame rate in full speed mode is now limited to a maximum of 50 Hz to improve performance.
- Some minor bugs were fixed.

Quanta Plus is a highly stable and feature rich web development environment. Quantas vision has always been to start with the best architectural foundations, design for efficient and natural use and enable maximal user extensibility.

We recognize that we dont have the resources to do everything we would like to so our target is to make it easy for you to help make this the best community based desktop application anywhere. Pretty much everything in Quanta is designed so you can extend it.

Even the way it handles XML DTDs is based on XML files you can edit. You can even import DTDs, write scripts to manage editor contents, visually create dialogs for your scripts and assign script actions to nearly any file operation in a project. You can even look at and communicate with a wide range of what happens inside Quanta using DCOP.

Quanta is based on KDE so this means it is network transparent from any dialog or project. It can use not only FTP but other KDE KIO slaves from file dialogs or in project settings. For instance if you want secure access try the fish KIO slave that uses SSH.

Just enter fish://[user]@domain in any dialog or select fish in your project settings. Here on this site you will find information on using Kommander to visually build dialogs you can extend Quanta with. These applications talk to each other using an IPC (Inter Process Communication) called DCOP (DEsktop Communication Protocol).

Of course I realize this can sound like alphabet soup techno-babble to some web developers, but heres what it means. When you are using Quanta and realize you would like to do something and you want to ask "Can I do this?" you can expect the answer will not only be yes, but it will probably be even cooler than you hoped for.

Not included on this site are other tools you can use with Quanta for revision control and reviewing and merging changes in files. Those applications are Cervisia and Kompare, and if they are not installed and you install them Quanta will use them.

We would like to think that there are rich rewards to be found here for those willing to explore new ways of doing things, or perhaps in some cases old ways that are just new to you.

Getopt::Plus is a Perl module with options wrapper with standard options, help system and more.

FILE_SIZE_HUMAN

Map from file size in bytes to human name, as hashref, keys being name (full name, lowercase, no trailing s) and abbrev (one/two-letter abbreviation).
Option Types

Permissable values to the type field of an option specifier.

OPT_FLOAT

OPT_INT

OPT_STRING

OPT_FDLEVEL

OPT_BOOLEAN

Error Codes

ERR_OK

Not an error at all. Hence the name.

ERR_ABNORMAL

Not so much an error as a non-erroneous circumstance worthy of signalling, e.g., grep finding no matches.

ERR_UTILITY

Again, not really an error, rather a utility function being called --- e.g., the --help or --version. This gets an error code because it is almost certainly an error to call from batch scripts.

ERR_USAGE

The program was called wrong.

ERR_IO_READ

Some problem reading from disk or network (system read).

ERR_IO_WRITE

Some problem writing to disk or network (system write).

ERR_DB_READ

Some problem reading from db or similar (application read).

ERR_DB_WRITE

Some problem writing to db or similar (application write).

ERR_EXTERNAL

Some problem with an external application.

ERR_INTERNAL

An internal logic error (the sort of thing that should never happen, but has been caught by an internal assertion or sanity check).

ERR_INPUT

Some problem with the input file (which was read fine, but contains bad data).

wxSand is a Falling Sand Game is a particle toy - you can play with different elements, explore how they interact, and, in some reimplementations, make your own elements.

It is great fun to make interactive structures, ecosystems, and toys in a Falling Sand Game.

First of all, mad props go out to the original creator of this game. Great idea. I only wish I could read Japanese... Heres a link to the original, or at least as close to the original as I can find (Again, without knowing how to read Japanese.)
http://ishi.blog2.fc2.com/blog-entry-158.html

Having wasted hours of productivity on the Java verison of the Falling Sand Game, I began to think of improvements that could be made from the original. No source was available for the original, and Java isnt my choice programming language, that I decided to start de novo with C/C++ and the cross-platform wxWidgets.

(I leave it to you Java fans out there to make your own improved Falling Sand Game.)

I tend to feel that The Falling Sand Game should be more of a Zen experience than anything else. I also belive that the game should be as cyclic as possible, so that environments can run and evolve for long periods of time. Finally, I realized the close connection of The Sand Game with the game of Life: Whereby, with a few very simple rules, and some starting conditions, you can create a very unpredictable outcome.
Of course, the original is pretty sweet. So Ive make a version with my own rules, and one with the original rules, and then one with the original rules plus some neat extra items. I have implemented many, many more interactions and elements than the original version. Discover them as you play.

Version 2 has no fire (Versions 3 & 4 do, though.) I dont like how easy it is to destroy everything. It also doesnt have any free-moving characters. I feel they distract attention from the evolution of the field.

Originally, I didnt want to make this Open Source. I think it takes away from the mysticism of the game. Those of you that are so inclined should be able to see the simple algorithm. Note the close connection with the game of Life. Also note the impossible situations, like unequalized water levels. These arent shortcomings of the game, but instead interesting artifacts of the rules of this alternate reality!

Globus Toolkit is an open source software toolkit used for building grids. It is being developed by the Globus Alliance and many others all over the world.
A growing number of projects and companies are using the Globus Toolkit to unlock the potential of grids for their cause.
The open source Globus Toolkit is a fundamental enabling technology for the "Grid," letting people share computing power, databases, and other tools securely online across corporate, institutional, and geographic boundaries without sacrificing local autonomy. The toolkit includes software services and libraries for resource monitoring, discovery, and management, plus security and file management. In addition to being a central part of science and engineering projects that total nearly a half-billion dollars internationally, the Globus Toolkit is a substrate on which leading IT companies are building significant commercial Grid products.
The toolkit includes software for security, information infrastructure, resource management, data management, communication, fault detection, and portability. It is packaged as a set of components that can be used either independently or together to develop applications. Every organization has unique modes of operation, and collaboration between multiple organizations is hindered by incompatibility of resources such as data archives, computers, and networks. The Globus Toolkit was conceived to remove obstacles that prevent seamless collaboration. Its core services, interfaces and protocols allow users to access remote resources as if they were located within their own machine room while simultaneously preserving local control over who can use resources and when.
The Globus Toolkit has grown through an open-source strategy similar to the Linux operating systems, and distinct from proprietary attempts at resource-sharing software. This encourages broader, more rapid adoption and leads to greater technical innovation, as the open-source community provides continual enhancements to the product.
Enhancements:
- This release adds a new reliable file transfer client. It has been upgraded to SpiderMonkey version 1.60, GPT 3.9, and OpenSSH 4.5p1 with the high performance patch, and ported to Mac OS X / Intel x86.
- Test coverage, credentials handling in the security module, and handling of XML schema have been improved.
- An authorization portal framework has been introduced.

jOggPlayer is an open source platform independant Graphical Ogg Vorbis Player. Developed using Java, so if your system has a Java2 VM you can use this app. You can now listen to your Oggs using an app that is NOT bloated. In fact this app/let should be able to run on a web page after you set your java security permissions.
I programmed this because I wanted a Java Graphical Vorbis Ogg player. I did it for myself and thought I would share it with you. My first priority was to get something that worked and looked reasonable. There are still some outstanding issues that I want to fix or work on. Dont expect a WinAMP style playlist, Playlists are harder to be made than the actual player.
Main features:
- plays files from your hard drive or
- plays songs from a URL
- plays streams from jRoar ogg streams (version 1.1 only)
- individual file play or multiple file looping play
- sequential or random play
- in applet volume control that goes to 11!
- visual song progress indicator
- playlist songs have a favourite selection box (version 1.1 only)
- displays ogg file information comments in a mouse-over popup window (song name, artist etc.)
- unlimitted size playlist that can transparently include files and/or URLs
- user selectable directory recursion on file load... just choose a dir from the load file dialog
- can load a file, URL or a whole directory of files on startup
- can save and load your playlist to a file
- can read your m3u playlist for ogg files
- user selectable fonts, colours, and background textures
- needs Java 1.2 or higher
- works behind a proxy/firewall (see the starting documentation)
- PLUS it sounds great!
