Catch the Furball project is an icebreaker board game for friends to play around a computer.

It features a freshly-generated board for each game, an eclectic collection of cards, and beautiful pictures of Cambridge University.

The distribution is intended both to allow Web masters to quickly set up their own copy of the game, and to allow tinkerers to use the game engine to make their own games.

It includes the editor used to create game data.

Ctcompares project purpose is to allow you to compare several sets of C code trees on a token basis, rather than on a line by line basis. The programs help to identify similarities between snippets of code in both trees.
Enhancements:
- The comparison method has been completely rewritten.
- A database is now used to hold 16-token "tuples" as keys; the result attached to each key is the list of source files which have that tuple.
- Tuples with multiple files from different source trees indicate potential code similarity.
- These are then fully tested to find actual code similarity.

PHTP is a simple, effective, and highly customizable FTP client with an HTML interface. It can be implemented on a remote server to allow files to be downloaded directly to it, as it is able to make connections with any FTP server.
Enhancements:
- This release uses sessions. The design has been changed.
- A config file, multi-language support, and a queuelist have been added.

ScrollKeeper project is a cataloging system for documentation on open systems.

It manages documentation metadata (as specified by the Open Source Metadata Framework(OMF)) and provides a simple API to allow help browsers to find, sort, and search the document catalog.

It will also be able to communicate with catalog servers on the Net to search for documents which are not on the local system.

Mozilla::PromptService is a Perl interface to the Mozilla nsIPromptService.

SYNOPSIS

use Mozilla::PromptService;

Mozilla::PromptService::Register({
Alert => sub {
my ($parent, $title, $dialog_text) = @_;
# do something smart on alert ...
},
# Prompt callback should return result
Prompt => sub { return "Prompt Result" },
DEFAULT => sub {
my ($name, $parent, $title, $dialog_text) = @_;
# some other confirmation is needed
}
}

Mozilla::PromptService uses Mozilla nsIPromptService to allow perl callbacks on prompt events.

For a much more detailed information on nsIPromptService see documentation on mozilla.org

xlHtml converts an Excel spreadsheet file (.xls) into highly-optimized HTML. It includes scripts to allow it to be used as a Netscape or mutt plugin and as a xls handler for Apache.

The program currently supports string, blank, boolean, error, integer, floating point, hyperlinks, and formula cells.

It can also output in XML, tab delimited, or comma separated values (CSV).

mod_log_spread is a patch to mod_log_config to allow logging to multicast groups. It utilizes the group communication toolkit Spread, developed at Johns Hopkins Universitys Center for Networking and Distributed Systems.

mod_log_spread was developed to solve the problem of collecting consolidated access logs for large web farms.

In particular, the solution needed to be scalable to hundreds of machines, utilize a reliable network transport, allow machines to added or dropped on the fly, and impose minimal performance impact on the webservers.
