Free read faster software for linux

lispreader is a small library for reading expressions in Lisp syntax. It has originally been written to facilitate simple exchange of structured data between processes but its main purpose is now to provide a framework for reading configuration files.
To simplify interpretation of the data read, lispreader also provides functions for simple matching of expressions against patterns.
lispreader is also used in at least one application to read and write data files. Lisp syntax is very suitable for doing this, especially if the data is organized hierachically.
Version restrictions:
lispreader is not a Lisp system in that it cannot, by itself, interpret Lisp expressions. It only provides a subset of the features of libraries like Guile of librep (namely the reading of expressions) and does thus not compete directly with those.
If all you need is a simple way to read Lisp expressions without interpreting them with Lisp semantics, you will probably be satisfied with lispreader.
Enhancements:
- #?(number) pattern
- lisp_free can handly arbitrarily nested lists without recursion.
- Memory allocation can now be controlled with the allocator interface.
- An allocator is included which is very fast and low-overhead, but only allows freeing all data at once.
- A new memory mapping Lisp stream type is implemented, which about doubles parsing speed.

wxDownload Fast (also known as wxDFast) is an open source download manager.
Besides that, it is a multi-threaded download manager. This means that it can split a file into several pieces and download the pieces simultaneously.
Created in C++ using the wxWidgets(wxWindows) library.
Main features:
- Faster downloads (with Segmented/Multi-threaded/Accelerated transfers)
- Download resuming (Pause and restart where you stopped)
- Download scheduling
- Organizes files you have already downloaded
- View server messages (HTTP, FTP, file://). No HTTPS support.
- Available in multiple languages and easily translated. Now available in Portuguese [Brazil], Spanish, English and German
- Connection to FTP servers which require a password
- Calculates the MD5 checksum of downloaded files so they can be easily verified

Mr. Persister is a simple, small, object relational mapping API capable of reading Java objects from, and writing Java objects to relational databases. It was first released july 2004.
Main features:
- Fast! (Faster than Hibernate)
- Read objects of any size in just 3-5 lines of code.
- Automatic and manual mapping of objects to database tables.
- No config files required.
- SQL as query language.
- Automatic connection and transaction management
- (via DAO commands).
- Automatic connection and transaction management
- (via connection and transaction scoping).
- Automatic SQL generation for most trivial tasks.
- Batch updates of multiple objects.
- Compound primary key support.
- Partial object reading and writing.
- Read Filters.
- Simplifies trivial JDBC tasks.
- Interleave custom JDBC with Mr. Persister operations.
- Fully Pluggable Design.
- Well Tested. 290 unit tests were executed against each supported database.
Enhancements:
- Mr. Persister now uses JDK 5.0.
- Some important bugs have been fixed, and the software now enables annotation-based class-to-database mappings both as an alternative and a supplement to automatic and programmatic mapping.

Feedn Read (FnR) is a free Java based open source newsfeed reader. It is powered by the Sun ROME syndication framework and therefore supports all current formats (RSS 0.90, 0.91, 0.92, 0.93, 0.94, 1.00, 2.00, ATOM 0.30 and 1.00).
It disposes of an intuitive, fast and responsive user interface using eclipse technologies, i.e. JFace and SWT. Thus it combines the platform independent Java world on one hand with a fast native user interface on the other hand.
Main features:
- Multi threaded application environment
- Multi language support (german and english attended at the moment)
- Multi tab style reading
- Tree based favorite management
- Newsfeed retrieval and update
- Newsfeed aggregation
- Scheduling for automatic newsfeed retrieval
- Easy news filtering
- Easy favorite filtering
- Archive support (recognizes already read news)
- Newsfeed caching support
- RSS enclosure support
- Podcast support
- System tray support
- System tray notifications
- Internal web browser
- OPML import
- OPML export
- Customizable interface

Morseall allows you to control any computer using only the mouse buttons. It allows you to produce keystrokes by tapping Morse codes with just a single button or with a three-button mouse for faster entry.
Morseall is designed for disabled users who can only move one muscle.
Morseall can also be used with wearable laptops, tablets, or handhelds where a keyboard would be inconvenient or unavailable.
Main features:
- Anyone who can press a switch can use Morseall!
- You can go faster if you can control two or three buttons
- An Iambic Keyer is available for ultra-fast coding
- Audio feedback is given for each dot and dash
- Characters can be read aloud as they are typed for verification
- It works with a standard mouse! No custom hardware needed.
- On-line help is always visible for looking up codes
- Takes over the mouse so disabled users can maintain control.
- Code Timing is adjustable from within the program (seven dots=faster)
- A Configuration file allows you to set defaults (/etc/morseall.conf)
- A Reset feature helps users recover if the terminal gets stuck
- Visual feedback on your morse code timing as you key it
- Morseall is Free Software, Licensed under the GNU GPL
Enhancements:
- The most-recent code sequence is kept visible, for better sanity checking.
- A repeat code is available for users who cant hold it in for the normal repeat (some sip/puff users need this)

Spreadsheet::Read enables reading the data from a spreadsheet.

Spreadsheet::Read tries to transparantly read *any* spreadsheet and return its content in a universal manner independent of the parsing module that does the actual spreadsheet scanning.

For OpenOffice this module uses Spreadsheet::ReadSXC

For Excel this module uses Spreadsheet::ParseExcel

For CSV this module uses Text::CSV_XS

For SquirrelCalc there is a very simplistic built-in parser
