Free total conversion software for linux

i.Task is a little task viewer for Linux. Source is included under the LGPL license. The distribution includes binaries for GCC3 based systems and the source code.
The external library Lgi is required to build from the source, but a binary of that is included.
Enhancements:
- Added a status bar with total CPU%, Mem and a tasks count.
- Added a copy command that outputs all the task information and totals to the clipboard in a nicely formatted text table.
- Fixed a crash when a process exits during the update phase.
- Added colour coding of tasks so you can see which belong to you.
- Added a history tab for CPU and Mem usage.

This is a simple dockapp that monitors the following: the amount of users logged in, the total number of processes, the number of running (or alive) processes, the total number of forks and the system load average.
Installation:
make
su
make install
This will install the binary (wmmisc) in /usr/X11R6/bin.
Enhancements:
- src/dockapp_util.c: Properly get the user count.
- src/*.c: Clean-ups, removed unused/dead code, etc

Iris is a video conversion utility in C++ that works as a front-end to mencoder. Iris Video Conversion Utility can run in command-line or graphical modes and currently supports conversion to DVD MPEG, DivX AVI and VCD MPEG
This software intends to ease video conversion to common formats.
Help Wanted / TODO
- Cancel button does not always work
- More output formats
- Reset values for command-line format paramater
- re-work stderr redirection
- catch and identify mencoder conditions

Vstr is a safe and fast string library for C. Vstr string library is designed for network communication. Its design uses chunks of ptr+length data, so adding, substituting, and deleting data are all fast operations.
This model also allows it to do automatic referencing for mmap() areas of memory. Shortcut APIs are included to mmap() a file into a Vstr string, and read()/write() data to/from a Vstr string. Another big feature of the library is a POSIX and ISO 9899:1999 compliant printf() like function, which can also be extended with user supplied formatters that are gcc warning compatible.
The total API is over 280 functions, but laid out in a easy to remember manner, including data parsing functions, a non-destructive split() function, and conversion functions (among others).
Main features:
- a printf like function that is fully ISO 9899:1999 (C99) compliant, also having %m as standard and POSIX i18n parameter number modifiers. It also allows gcc warning compatible customer format specifiers (and includes pre-written custom format specifiers for ipv4 and ipv6 addresses, Vstr strings and more)
- splitting of strings into parameter/record chunks (a la perl).
- substituting data in a Vstr string
- moving data from one Vstr string to another (or within a Vstr string).
- comparing strings (without regard for case, or taking into account version information)
- searching for data in strings (with or without regard for case).
- counting spans of data in a string (the equivalent of strspn() in ISO C).
- converting data in a Vstr (Ie. delete/substitute unprintable characters or making a Vstr string lowercase/uppercase).
- parsing data from a Vstr string (Ie. numbers, or ipv4 addresses).
- easily parsing and wrapping outgoing data in netstrings, for fast and simple (and hence less error prone) network communication
- the ability to cache aspects of data about a Vstr string, to both simplify and speedup use of the string.
- the ability to have empty data as part of the string, this is somewhat useful for representing file transfers as a string as you can represent the file data as empty data in the string.
Enhancements:
- Bytemap functions were added to accelerate parsing.
- Custom formatters were sped up with a hash.
- Workarounds were added for a hidden Linux UIO 2GB limit and GCC 4.x symbol aliasing brain damage.
- Solaris build fixes were made along with a fix for a problem with loading zero-sized files with vstr_sc_*_file() and a couple of other minor problems.

FLAC is a lossless compression method for audio files. Using it, one is able to reduce the filesize and keep the same audio quality as a regular WAV file (CD quality).

The FLAC format is open source, and can be read without any problem by such applications as Amarok or Kaffeine.

Wav and Flac conversion contains two service menus: one to convert WAV files into FLAC, and one to convert FLAC files into WAV.

You will need the FLAC application to be installed on your system to use these service menus.

gulog is a GTK UUCP log and traffic monitor. It shows the traffic generated by a uucico session.

Gulog shows (helped by a GTK interface) the actual traffic generated by a uucico session
the outgoing/incoming file
outgoing/incoming bytes
outgoing/incoming transfer rate
the number of files transmitted/received from a total of n files

Just type make. If you got errors, please check the Makefile for compiler flags, includes and libraries, if theyre appropriate to your system.

TEA Total is a very small 128 bit private key based encryption/decryption system which uses the block variant of TEA (Tiny Encryption Algorithm).

TEA is said to be several times faster than DES, as well as being much smaller and possibly more secure. It also isnt encumbered by any patents and the reference implementation is in the public domain.

Currently TEA Total only supports encryption and decryption of files (with optional compression and/or Base64 ASCII encoding). I am writing a set of TEA based encrypted tunnel programs which will allow you to wrap applications such that their input and output will be transparently forwarded over a network in encrypted form.

About the name: TEA Total is a play on the TEA encryption algorithm which is at the heart of the package, and the phrase "tee total"; a term used to refer to a person who does not drink alcohol. This is appropriate because I am tee total myself.

To build TEA Total in a Unix type environment, edit config.inc to select the options you want to build, your install prefix, and your architecture type, then type make. Check that the compares succeed, then run make install (possibly as root).

After it builds, it will run through a set of self tests. Read the output carefully to make sure that they have all passed.

Note that the Makefile uses some GNU-Makeisms, so on systems which have pmake or something else by default, you may have to install gnu make instead and run it with "gmake".

If you are building on a currently unsupported architecture type, you will need to add a new architecture type description to config.inc and arch.h.

The program can be installed using "make install".
