Free oscar software for linux

Pidgin, previously known as Gaim, is a multi-protocol instant messaging client for Linux, BSD, MacOS X, and Windows. Pidgin messenger is compatible with AIM and ICQ (Oscar protocol), MSN Messenger, Yahoo!, IRC, Jabber, SILC, Gadu-Gadu, GroupWise Messenger, and Zephyr networks.
Pidgin users can log in to multiple accounts on multiple IM networks simultaneously. This means that you can be chatting with friends on AOL Instant Messenger, talking to a friend on Yahoo Messenger, and sitting in an IRC channel all at the same time.
Pidgin supports many features of the various networks, such as file transfer, away messages, typing notification, and MSN window closing notification. It also goes beyond that and provides many unique features.
A few popular features are Buddy Pounces, which give the ability to notify you, send a message, play a sound, or run a program when a specific buddy goes away, signs online, or returns from idle; and plugins, consisting of text replacement, a buddy ticker, extended message notification, iconify on away, spell checking, tabbed conversations, and more.
Pidgin runs on a number of platforms, including Windows, Linux, and Qtopia (Sharp Zaurus and iPaq).
Pidgin integrates well with GNOME 2 and KDE 3.1s system tray, as well as Windowss own system tray. This allows you to work with Pidgin without requiring the buddy list window to be up at all times.
Pidgin is under constant development, and releases are usually frequent. The latest news regarding Pidgin can be found on the news page.
Enhancements:
- libpurple:
- Core changes to allow UIs to use second-granularity for scheduling. Pidgin and Finch, which use the glib event loop, were changed to use g_timeout_add_seconds() on glib >= 2.14 when possible. This allows glib to better group our longer timers to increase power efficiency. (Arjan van de Ven with Intel Corporation)
- No longer linkifies screennames containing @ signs in join/part notifications in chats
- With the HTML logger, images in conversations are now saved. NOTE: Saved images are not yet displayed when loading logs.
- Added support for QIP logs to the Log Reader plugin (Michael Shkutkov)
Pidgin:
- Ensure only one copy of Pidgin is running with a given configuration directory. The net effect of this is that trying to start Pidgin a second time will raise the buddy list. (Gabriel Schulhof)
- Undo capability in the conversation window
- The formatting toolbar has been reorganized to be more concise.
- A new status area has been added to the top of conversations to provide additional detail about the buddy, including buddy icon, protocol and status message.
- Show idle times in the buddy list as days, hours, seconds
Finch:
- Theres support for workspaces now (details in the manpage)
- Theres a new custom window manager, Irssi
- Some improvements for tab-completion, tooltip and the password entries
- Some bugs regarding search results fixed
- A new DBus-script to create a docklet for finch
- Support for showing empty groups in the buddy list (Eric Polino)

ptyaim is a very simple, extra special curses client for AOLs Instant Messenger (AIM) and ICQ services, plus Internet Relay Chat (IRC). ptyaims project interface is somewhat inspired by naim. However, it uses no code from naim.
The latest version of ptyaim has been tested on Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Solaris, Tru64 Unix, Mac OS 10.3, and Microsoft Windows 2000. Most likely, it will work on other platforms, too.
Enhancements:
- This new version of ptyaim features improvements to the OSCAR plugin, including support for group chat.
- The TOC plugin has also been removed.

DJWrap is an open format for combining several mp3s into one (wrapping) , without losing information about where the songs begin and where they end, or what file names they had, allowing them to later be turned back into separate files.
The idea of DJWrap is in many ways the same as the AlbumWrap (ALBW) format, and the MP3Wrap format, though DJWrap has some extra features.
libdjwrap is a library that eases the handling of these wrapped files. It can parse DJWrap, AlbumWrap and MP3Wrap files, as well as output DJWrap files. It can be incorporated into software which wants a more intelligent handling of wrapped files. This would mainly be music players and CD writing software.
The library, libdjwrap, comes with a tool, aptly named djwrap. It gives a command line interface to various functions of the library, allowing a user to extract songs from a DJWrap, AlbumWrap or MP3Wrap file, as well as create their own DJWrap files.
There is also a graphical tool, using libdjwrap, for handling wrapped files. Its due for release any time now.
Enhancements:
- There is a bug in DJWrap 0.9.3 that became apparent when its used in MooseWrap.
- A function in the library returns the wrong value at a point, which makes software using DJWrap stop before writing a wrap do disk.

Tinyquizz project is a deliberately simplistic tool to produce self-assessment quizzes. Quizzes consist of a single entirely self-contained XHTML file. There is no need for a web server, PHP, database server, or e-learning platform to run them. A simple web browser is enough. It even fully works offline.
Quizzes produces by Tinyquizz can only be used for self-assessment because the answers are contained in the quizz file.
How does Tinyquizz work ?
Quizzes are written in XML, that is raw text with tags to delimit sections. For instance here is a question (tags are in bold):
< question>
< statement>You can cross when the light is < /statement>
< answer correct="no">Red< /answer>
< answer correct="yes">Green< /answer>
< /question>
Once you wrote the quizz you transform it with an XSLT processor or using the online transformer which does not require any installation.
Any basic text editor is ok to write Tinyquizz quizzes. However you may prefer to use a dedicated XML text editor such as Jaxe which can additionally ensure that the syntax is correct. Indeed you need to use the right tag at the right place
Enhancements:
- Input widgets are now locked once the result is displayed.
- A new reset button has been added.
- A new optional < justification > tag can now be added after each answer to provide the user with individualized feedback.
- Disc bullets are used for answers when there is no correct answer.
- New reference documentation is now available on the Web site as well as in the distribution.

Spartan-style ICQ clone written in Python.
INSTALLATION
unpack the source code into directory you want py-icq to be stored in.
cd YOUR_DIR; gunzip -c py-icq-(release_num).tar.gz | tar xfv -
cd py-icq
sudo make install
what actually happens is tiny shell script created in your bin catalog, that calls python interpreter with ./src/main.py as aparameter.
at this point, your shell may want you to rehash search paths and hopefully you can run the client.

OSCAR version 4.0 is a snapshot of the best known methods for building, programming, and using clusters. OSCAR Cluster project consists of a fully integrated and easy to install software bundle designed for high performance cluster computing.

Everything needed to install, build, maintain, and use a modest sized Linux cluster is included in the suite, making it unnecessary to download or even install any individual software packages on your cluster.

Simple PHP Calendar is a a simple, extensible PHP calendar class. The project focuses exclusively on generating an HTML representation for a given month. It is meant to be easily extended for use in other applications, such as input widgets for forms, or full event calendaring applications. Its output is completely customizable via CSS.
A simple example
After downloading the class and including it in your PHP script, youre ready to start using it. The constructor requires two paramets, a year and month. The following code produces a very plain looking calendar.
1 require_once( class.Calendar.php );
2 $cal = new Calendar (2004, 3 );
3 echo "".$cal->getFullMonthName()."";
4 echo $cal->display();
Customizing the display
You can use two methods to change how the calendar is displayed. Use setTableWidth to define how wide to make the table, in pixels or as a percentage of the screen. Use setDayNameFormat to change how weekdays are displayed in the header row using strftime formats.
1 require_once(class.Calendar.php);
2 $calendar = new Calendar (2004, 4);
3 $calendar->setTableWidth(50%);
4 $calendar->setDayNameFormat(%A);
5 echo "".$calendar->getBriefMonthName().";
6 echo $calendar->display();
Final Example
You can use CSS selectors to control the formatting of all aspects of the calendar, including adding borders and how empty boxes display. Lets wrap our talbe in a div named calendar and use the following styles.
/* overall table */
#calendar table {
border:1px solid #fff;
padding: 0;
margin:20px;
}
/* the day headers across the top */
#calendar th {
background: #565;
color: #fff;
margin: 3px;
padding: 2px 5px;
}
/* how days this month will look, make dates appear in top right */
#calendar td {
background: #eee;
color: #000;
padding: 2px;
margin:0;
height:60px;
text-align:right;
vertical-align:top;
border:1px solid #fff;
}
/* these are the days falling outside this month */
#calendar td.notInMonth {
background: #999;
}
Enhancements:
- The documentation has been polished.
- An example has been added for extending the class to customize how a calendar grid will display.
