Free software for macintosh software for linux

Early Macintosh Image LoadEr allows to boot linux-m68k from a floppy on a macintosh such as MacII or Quadra 610.
With it, you can create rescue disk, or remove the MacOS partition (needed by the legacy penguin booter) from your HD.
Create a floppy from rescue disk image
You can find floppy image from the package emile-rescue
Under linux, the command to dump image to floppy is:
# dd if=emile-rescue-x.y.bin of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 conv=sync
then, you can eject floppy with:
# eject /dev/fd0
If you are using MacOS, use MakeDebianFloppy AppleScript (you must use a floppy image with a size of exactly 1474560 bytes).
Enhancements:
- This release has improved SCSI support, allows you to create a bootable CD-ROM, adds Debian packaging, updates the PowerPC part (currently not usable), and introduces apple_driver (currently not usable).

WaveSurfer is an Open Source tool for sound visualization and manipulation. It has been designed to suit both novice and advanced users. WaveSurfer has a simple and logical user interface that provides functionality in an intuitive way and which can be adapted to different tasks.
It can be used as a stand-alone application for a wide range of tasks in speech research and education. Typical applications are speech/sound analysis and sound annotation/transcription. WaveSurfer can also serve as a platform for more advanced/specialized applications. This is accomplished either through extending the WaveSurfer application with new custom plug-ins or by embedding WaveSurfer visualization components in other applications.
Main features:
- Multi-platform - Linux, Windows 95/98/NT/2K/XP, Macintosh, Sun Solaris, HP-UX, FreeBSD, and SGI IRIX
- Flexible interface - handles multiple sounds
- Common sound file formats - reads, and writes WAV, AU, AIFF, MP3, CSL, SD, Ogg/Vorbis, and NIST/Sphere
- Transcription file formats - reads, and writes HTK (and MLF), TIMIT, ESPS/Waves+, and Phondat. Support for encodings and Unicode.
- Unlimited file size - playback and recording directly from/to disk
- Sound analysis - e.g. spectrogram and pitch analysis
- Customizable - users can create their own configurations. Localization support.
- Extensible - new functionality can be added through a plugin architecture
- Embeddable - WaveSurfer can be used as a widget in custom applications
- Scriptable - hosts a built-in script interpreter
Enhancements:
- Mouse- and key binding updates:
- shortcuts keys for recording
- support for multiple popup events (shift-left-button and right-button are now the default on all platforms)
- Misc. bug fixes including zoom in/out mixup

mod_crescent is the core of the crescent virtual community system.
Tested on Solaris, OpenBSD, Linux and Win32. It has a high speed cache to make your db happy.
Whats this Crescent thing anyway?
Crescent is a virtual community system. A few years back the buzz word was "portal", later came "content management systems." Crescent loosely fits into those categories as well. But Crescents main goal is to provide the foundation for online, interactive communities.
Crescent consists of mod_crescent, an apache module that provides authentication support; the CFS abstraction and its handlers and user management tools.
The CFS which stands for "Crescent File System" works much like the file structure on your home PC. At the very top level is the root folder, the contents of this folder and all other folders in Crescent are displayed in the main part of the browser window. Much like the Windows Explorer or the Macintosh finder the CFS uses different icons to visually represent the various file types found in each folder.
Clicking on some of these icons will lead to things with which you can interact such as surveys and forums while others will lead to other directories, which will, most likely, contain more icons.
Under Crescent, everything is done through the CFS Crescent can easily be configured to provide as few or as many of its features as you would like to use.
Enhancements:
- Apache 1.3
- PHP
- MySQL
- ImageMagick

AMaViS-ng is a modular rewrite of amavisd and amavis-perl. It scans email for malicious code inside attachments and archive files, stopping delivery if malicious code is found.

Most people will say: "A virus scanner? For UN*X? Why? Viruses do not work in a UNIX environment." On the first glance they are right (even if there are at least two viruses which run under Linux - well, actually they are Trojan Horses)

On the second view though, imagine a heterogene network environment where can exist UNIX and Windows systems.Now think of an UN*X server that serves Windows and/or Macintosh workstations via a POP3 service. Would it not be nice to ensure attachments coming via email are scanned for viruses before they reach a system they are able to infect? Well - that is what this package is for. It resides on the server that handles your incoming mails. When a mail arrives, instead of being delivered via procmail directly, is parsed through a script that extracts all attachments from the mail, unpacks (if needed) and scannes them using a professional virus scanner program.

NoteCase is a hierarchical note manager (aka. outliner). NoteCase project helps you organize your everyday text notes into a single document, with individual notes placed in the tree-like structure (each note can have its sub-notes, ...).

SWFT (pronounced Swift) is a simple web application designed as a more secure modern replacement for FTP and SFTP. SWFT allows for easy and secure upload and download of files through the HTTPS feature of any standard web browser. SWFT is written in php. SWFT stands for Simple Web File Transfer.
Each single file gets a unique Id and Password for download. Multiple file transfer requires multiple Ids or the use of ZIP files. Swft automatically remembers file names and extensions. Ids do not need to match the file name, so multiple files with the same name can be uploaded with different Ids. Password protection is enforced to reduce abuse.
The default swft configuration allows each file to be downloaded 5 times or to remain available for 24 hours, whichever comes first. Defaults can be changed by editing the simple configuration file, but will eventually be accessable through the administrators web interface. These auto housekeeping settings make for easy maintainance by removing stale uploads.
Upload can be done without ceasing administrative rights, and the confidentiality of data being guaranteed.
Swft is a php web application and therefore cross platform. It should work on any webserver with PHP 4 or newer. Limitations to file size are only controlled by the PHP configuration.
The interface is very plain, but easy to understand and will support easier website integration and CSS style sheets in future versions.
The documentation is incomplete, but Install and Howto are included with the download
Main features:
- Its freely licensed under the QPL.
- Since its written in php, it doesnt require you to recompile your web server (although you might want to make a few configuration adjustments).
- Since its written in php, its platform independent. It will run on any system that supports php4 or better, such as Windows, Linux, Macintosh, and BSD.
- Its specifically designed to be simple and secure.
- It doesnt require a big application framework or other complex install procedure.
- It works without cookies.
Enhancements:
- Windows doesnt have /dev/null, so that was not a good assumption to make if we want swft to be cross-platform
- Example config file had a bunch of typos in it
- $HTTP_SERVER_VAR is depreciated, using $_SERVER instead

frob 3D viewer project is a 3D object point/wireframe/polygon viewer - called frob3dv for lack of a better name.

I wrote this version mainly to learn c++. Also it was the first program I wrote after I got a PC (and put linux on it), but it has a long history. Many years ago I wrote a few stacks in Hypercard (on a Mac SE) for editing and displaying 3d shapes. I then ported it to modula-2 , using the free MacMETH compiler, then MOPS, a great free object-oriented programming language and application framework for the mac.

That is where it got most of its current class hierarchy. At that stage it was still only a wire-frame viewer. I then ported it to c++ for the macintosh using the Macintosh Programmers Workshop. When I wiped Windoze off my PC and put an operating system (linux) on it, I ported it to X and added the polygon drawing.
