Free software 2.1 software for linux

Ivy is a simple protocol and a set of open-source libraries and programs that allows applications to broadcast information through text messages, with a subscription mechanism based on regular expressions.
Ivy libraries are available in C, C++, Java and Perl, on Windows and Unix boxes and on Macs. Several Ivy utilities and hardware drivers are available too.
Ivy is currently used in research projects in the air traffic control and human-computer interaction research communities as well as in commercial products. It is also taught to CS students.
Ivy is a CENA product.
Main features:
- Ivy is not based on a centralised server. Actually, Ivy is mostly a communication convention, implemented through a collection of libraries for various languages and platforms. The current version of the Ivy protocol is version 3, which has been stable for the last 3 years.
- Language bindings are available in C (Unix and Windows), C++ (Mac, Unix, Windows), Java and Perl. There have been successful uses through the C library
- Messages are formatted in text, and subscriptions are based on regular expressions. Plans to move to an XML-based subscription language are on their way.
- From the programmers point of view, Ivy is an information broadcasting channel. The main functions are:
- connecting to a bus. Example: IvyInit (b, "192.126:2011")
- sending a message. Example: IvySend (b, "HELLO %s", world)
- binding a message pattern to a callback function. Example: IvyBind (b, "HELLO (.*)", cb)
- the main loop. Example : IvyLoop ()
- Subscriptions are managed on the emitters side, which limits the actual network traffic.
- Direct point-to-point messages are also available.
- Ivy was designed by a research group in Human-Computer Interaction, with the goals of connecting applications written on different toolkits/languages/platforms (such as an OpenGL application on a SGI connected to a PerlTk application on a Linux box), while keeping it simple: no server to be lauched and supervised, a simplistic API, and a communication model compatible with classical event-based GUI progamming. We think we have somewhat reached our goal...
Enhancements:
- This release mostly contains bugfixes and code cleanup.

Job Costing Software project is the first step to improving profitablity on your projects. A web-based job costing product makes it easy to view or update your job costs quickly.
View your project cost status in real time to make more accurate decisions. Export your costs to an excel spreadsheet for reporting or printing.

Everybody knows how important it is to create an accurate estimate of a jobs total costs. Unfortunately, most project managers are so busy they dont have time to gather the information needed to accurately calculate costs as the job progresses.
Job costing software makes the cost projections for you, freeing up your time to better manage the project.
Enhancements:

timeclock software is an application for employees to use as a timeclock. An employee time and attendance system keeps track of when your employees sign in and out of work.

This information can then be compiled to produce the total hours worked and the amount that the employees should be paid.

Timeclock-software.nets free software product will be a simple solution to allow your employees to record their time in one central location for easy access.

Contractor Software allows contractors to manage their projects and interact with customers online. A contractor can post each task of a project. Each task has a start date and estimated completion date.

The client can then always know where the project is and leave comments for the contractor on each task. The contractor can also reply to the client with a follow up comment. This enhances communication and also leaves a record for reference later.

Software::Packager::Aix is the Software::Packager extension for AIX 4.1 and above.

SYNOPSIS

use Software::Packager;
my $packager = new Software::Packager(aix);

This module is used to create software packages in a Backup-format file (bff) suitable for installation with installp.

This module creates packages for AIX 4.1 and higher only. Due to the compatability requirements of Software::Packager multiple components in the same package are not supported. This may be changed at some point in the future.

This module is in part a baised on the workings of the lppbuild scripts. Where possible Ive worked from the standards, where I had no idea what they were talking about I refered to the lppbuild scripts for an understanding.

As such Id like to thank the writers of lppbuild version 2.1. I believe these scripts to be written by Jim Abbey. Who ever it was thanks for your work. It has proven envaluable. lppbuild is available from http://aixpdslib.seas.ucla.edu/
