The Amsterdam Compiler Kit 6.0 pre3
The Amsterdam Compiler Kit is a fast, lightweight and retargetable compiler suite and toolchain. more>>
The Amsterdam Compiler Kit or in short just ACK, is a fast, lightweight and retargetable compiler suite and toolchain written by Andrew Tanenbaum and Ceriel Jacobs, and was Minix native toolchain. The ACK was originally closed-source software (that allowed binaries to be distributed for Minix as a special case), but in April 2003 it was released under a BSD open source license.
The ACK achieves maximum portability by using an intermediate byte-code language called EM. Each language front-end produces EM object files, which are then processed through a number of generic optimisers before being translated by a back-end into native machine code.
Unlike gccs intermediate language, EM is a real programming language and could be implemented in hardware; a number of the language front-ends have libraries implemented in EM assembly. EM is a relatively high-level stack-based machine, and one of the tools supplied with ACK is an interpreter capable of executing EM binaries directly, with a high degree of safety checking. See the em document referenced below for more information.
ACK comes with a generic linker and librarian capable of manipulating files in the ACKs own a.out-based format; it will work on files containing EM code as well as native machine code. (You can not, however, link EM code to native machine code without translating the EM binary first.)
Installation:
To install the ACK, you need to download the source package and compile it.
Version 5.6 compiles cleanly on Linux, but it has had little testing so far. The installation instructions are complex but straightforward provided you follow the instructions. Please read the README; it provides a detailed walk-through of the compilation process, telling you what to type at each stage.
Enhancements:
- Support has been added for generating CP/M binaries using the 8080 code generator.
- The various optimisers have been beaten into shape, and its now possible to use them on all platforms; a basic peephole optimiser has been set up for the 8080.
- The floating point system has been confirmed working on the pc86 and linux386 platforms.
- ANSI compatibility has been improved, binary sizes have been reduced, and there are many bugfixes everywhere.

MetalServe SVN 250
MetalServe provides a standalone IRC DCC file server. more>>
MetalServe provides a standalone IRC DCC file server.
MetalServe is a standalone DCC file server that can be used to share files on Internet Relay Chat (IRC) networks such as EFNet and Undernet. Unlike the only available similar Unix program, iroffer, which offers "packs" of files, MetalServe offers single files similar to the way the SDFind, SPRJukebox, and OmenServe scripts for mIRC, a Windows IRC client, work.
The motivation for writing this program arose because the masquerading Linux router between my desktop IRC client and the IRC servers in the Internet made sending files even harder than getting files. Additionally, the router was hosting the files to be offered anyway, so why not let the serving application run on the router as well. However the only available application as of the time of this writing (April 2002) was iroffer, which, as mentioned, operates in a different manner than desired.
I took a look at the available IRC clients and their scripting capabilities but in the end "standard" ircII 4.4M, BitchX, Epic etc. didnt look powerful enough, had too many security holes etc. and various other aspects, including speed and independency, gave me reason enough to write a dedicated server application in C. In other words, I preferred the "precision screwdriver" approach.

Net::Google::Response 1.0.1
Net::Google::Response is a simple OOP-ish interface to the Google SOAP API search responses. more>>
Net::Google::Response is a simple OOP-ish interface to the Google SOAP API search responses.
SYNOPSIS
my $service = Net::Google->new(key=>LOCAL_GOOGLE_KEY);
my $session = $service->search();
$session->query(qw(Perl modules));
# You are probably better off calling
# $session->results() but if you want
# the raw response object(s) here ya go :
my $responses = $session->response();
my $count = scalar(@$responses);
# $r is a Net::Google::Response object
foreach my $r (@$responses) {
print sprintf("%s : %sn",$r->searchQuery(),$r->estimatedTotalResults());
}
Provides a simple OOP-ish interface to the Google SOAP API for searching. This package is used by Net::Google.
The Net::Google::Response object is used to contain response information provided by the Google search service in response to a search query. The Response object allows the client program to easily access the data returned from a search.
Response data is accessed using methods with identical names to the elements of a search response (as documented in the Google Web APIs Reference, section 3). For instance, the first example in the SYNOPSIS section, above, would return the estimated number of total results for the query.
Response objects may contain other response objects, where an element would return an array of other elements. For instance, calling $response->resultElements() will return a reference to an array of Net::Google::Response objects, each one representing one result from the search.
The Response module will automatically provide methods for the search response, as described by the service WSDL file. The results format is described by the Google APIs documentation, to which you should refer for the most up-to-date information. As of the April 8th, 2002 release of the Google APIs, the methods below are provided for each search result.

DateTime::Format::Roman 0.03
DateTime::Format::Roman is a Perl module with roman day numbering for DateTime objects. more>>
DateTime::Format::Roman is a Perl module with roman day numbering for DateTime objects.
SYNOPSIS
use DateTime::Format::Roman;
my $formatter = DateTime::Format::Roman->new(
pattern => %d %f %b %y );
my $dt = DateTime->new( year => 2003, month => 5, day => 28 );
$formatter->format_datetime($dt);
# 5 Kal Jun 2003
This module formats dates in the Roman style.
The Romans expressed their dates in relation to three fixed dates per month. For example: the Ides of March was the 15th of that month; 14 March was called "2 Ides", 13 March was called "3 Ides", etcetera. The days in the second half of the month were named after the first day of the next month, the "Kalends"; e.g. 16 March was called "17 Kalends of April".
METHODS
new( pattern => $string )
Creates a new formatter object. The optional formatting pattern defines the format of the output of format_datetime(). If no formatting pattern is given, a reasonable default is used.
format_datetime($datetime)
Retruns the formatted string. This method can be called on a formatter object (created by new()), or it can be called as a class method. In the latter case, the default pattern is used.
PATTERN SPECIFIERS
The following specifiers are allowed in the format strings given to the new() method:
%b
The abbreviated month name.
%B
The full month name.
%d
The day of the month as a decimal number (including 1 for the fixed days).
%D
The day of the month, written as a number plus the corresponding fixed day.
%f
The fixed day part of the date.
%m
The month as a decimal number (range 1 to 12).
%y
The year as a decimal number.
If a specifier is preceded by O or o, numbers will be written in uppercase and lowercase Roman numerals, respectively.
The %f specifier accepts an additional argument of 1 digit, specifying the length of the output:
%0f : abbreviated name (e.g. "Kal")
%1f : full name (e.g. "Kalends")
%2f : one-letter abbreviation (e.g. "K")

The AFU Knoppix CD contains software for the operating modes of PSK31, RTTY, SSTV, FAX, APRS and packet radio. Additional applications for Sat tracking, logging, locator referencing and antenna computation are also included.
The idea for this CD came in April 2003 after a lecture by Klaus Knopper during the Ulmer Linux Expo.
The CD is targeted for radio enthusiasts, the Linux operating system and the applications on this CD are structured so that they can run from the CD without effecting the installed existing system software. *
Surely Linux for most radio amateurs may be an unfamiliar operating system. Most computer users however have no problems with the use of the programs or the KDE Desktops as it configures easy via the KDE menu - > KNOPPIX.

AGNULA (acronym for A GNU/Linux Audio distribution, pronounced with a strong g) is the name of a project funded by the European Commission. The AGNULA/DeMuDi project is coordinated by the Centro Tempo Reale in Firenze and involves important research centers and institutions.
AGNULAs main task will be the development of two reference distributions for the GNU/Linux operating system completely based on Free Software (i.e. under a FSF approved Free Software license) and completely devoted to professional and consumer audio applications and multimedia development.
One distribution will be Debian-based (DeMuDi) and the other will be Red Hat-based (ReHMuDi). Both will be available on the network for download and on CD. The project started on the 1st April 2002 and will last for two years. In the second year the project will also extend to hardware platforms other than PCs (e.g. PowerPCs, 64-bit architectures).

FuseNRG 0.04
FuseNRG allows you to mount Ahead Nero NRG files on your Unix system with FUSE. more>>
FuseNRG allows you to mount Ahead Nero NRG files on your Unix system with FUSE. On the mounted directory, there will be an ISO file, equivalent to the original NRG file. Such ISO file can be mounted with fuseiso or burned to a CD with cdrecord or even Ahead Nero itself.
Advantages over nrg2iso:
it does not require extra disk space for the ISO file
it does not require extra memory for the ISO file
you dont have to wait for the file to be converted (conversion is done on the fly)
Example:
$mkdir ../testNRG

Yet Another Financial Manager 0.1
Yet Another Financial Manager (YAFM in short) is application to track Your expenses and incomes. more>>
Yet Another Financial Manager (YAFM in short) is application to track Your expenses and incomes. That way You know how much and for what You are spending, and if You are in line with retirement savings. All made in EASY and COMFORTABLE way.
The Difference
There are many programs to help manage Your finances.
So, why You should use YAFM?
First it is designed to be easy to use. It is not aimed to track every penny You spend, this would be annoying.
Second: it should be used as a tool to track spendings as exactly as You need. Don’t be stressed if some expences are not tracked or You have entered their approx value. YAFM is about helping You to know roughly how much and for what You are spending not making You feel bad, that expenses and incomes are not balanced up to penny. If You have enough patience to keep data 100% accurate - You will have very accurate results, good for You, but YAFM will not make troubles about coffee and doughnut this morning, You have forgot to enter.
YAFM BETA is free software, but version 1.0 will be commercial software. If You decide to donate me some money I promise You to get free 1.0 license. You can donate any amount, but if You would ask me how much I would say - 10 USD (1.0 pricing is not fixed but price will be somewhere between 10 and 20 USD).
This application is powered with Ruby on Rails and operated with browser locally. You need to have Ruby interpreter and sqlite installed. This means it can be run in Windows, Unix/Linux or Mac OS X environments.
For Windows (which I expect be to main platform for most users) there are sqlite .dlls provided with program.
Well… I’m using this program for myself from April 2006. I think for many people program like YAFM will be useful, so I decided give a try to release. Of course I’m releasing much more polished version than I use everyday, and also with much features missing. But I will successfully release next versions.

Jikes RVM is a compiler that translates JavaTM source files as defined in The Java Language Specification into the bytecoded instruction set and binary format defined in The Java Virtual Machine Specification.
You may wonder why the world needs another Java compiler, considering that Sun provides javac free with its SDK. Jikes has five advantages that make it a valuable contribution to the Java community: [OSI Certified Logo]
* Open source. Jikes is OSI Certified Open Source Software. OSI Certified is a certification mark of the Open Source Initiative.
* Strictly Java compatible. Jikes strives to adhere to both The Java Language Specification and The Java Virtual Machine Specification as tightly as possible, and does not support subsets, supersets, or other variations of the language. The FAQ describes some of the side effects of this strict language conformance.
* High performance. Jikes is a high performance compiler, making it ideal for use with larger projects.
* Dependency analysis. Jikes performs a dependency analysis on your code that provides two very useful features: Incremental builds and makefile generation.
* Constructive Assistance. Jikes strives to help the programmer write better code in two key ways. Jikes has always strived to provide clear error and warning text to assist the programmer in understanding problems, and now with release 1.19 Jikes helps point out common programming mistakes as documented in Effective Java.
Abridged from a FAQ entry which was adapted from some material by Lou Grinzo for an article he wrote.
The fact that Jikes is a high-performance, highly compatible Java compiler that can be used on almost any computing platform makes it an interesting program and worth investigating for almost any Java programmer. But Jikes is also notable because it lies at the center of two events: the adoption of open source philosophy and practice by large corporations, and the continued growth of Java for Linux.
Its worth pointing out that Jikes is not, and is not intended to be, a complete development environment -- it is simply a command line compiler. It should not be considered a replacement for more complete tools, such as Source Navigator or IBMs VisualAge for Java which provide sophisticated graphical IDEs (Integrated Development Environments).
The Jikes compiler was released in binary form in April 1997 on the IBM alphaWorks site. Jikes for Linux was released on 15 July 1998. The response was overwhelming -- Jikes had more downloads in the three months after the announcement than in the fifteen months before the announcement.
Around the end of March 2002, IBM opened a fledgling community hosting location attached to their developerWorks site with Jikes as a founding member. Approximately 3 years later this server was decommissioned and the most active projects migrated into SourceForge.net hosting options. During those three years Jikes was the #1 most popular project every month, often by a large margin. We approached nearly 250,000 downloads while residing at dw/oss, and had been consistently tallying triple digit daily downloads.
Release of Jikes for Linux was soon followed by requests to open up the source. Many notes and comments from users suggested this would be a good idea. The source was released under a liberal license in December 1998 to make a very visible demonstration of IBMs commitment to open standards and to Java Technology, to make Jikes more reliable and accessible, to encourage more widespread use of Java Technology, to encourage standardization of Java Technology, and to gain some experience actually running an open source project. This marked the start of one of IBMs first efforts in the open source arena.
The original alphaWorks version of Jikes was written by Philippe Charles and Dave Shields of the IBM T. J. Watson Research Center. For awhile after the release of the source they continued to work on the compiler as contributors; however, shortly after the project migrated to developerWorks Open Source Server they were officially moved off onto other projects within IBM. Today there are no IBMers who work on Jikes as part of their job description. Jikes survives today soley based on the free time contributions of members of the open source community.
The source code is available under IBMs Public License, which has been approved by the OSI (Open Source Initiative) as a fully certified open source license. The project provides access to the complete CVS development tree, which includes not only Jikes, but also the source for the Jacks Test Suite and the Jikes Parser Generator used to build Jikes. Jikes is included in many Open Source Operating Systems. The Jacks Test Suite is a replacement for the Jikestst package.

OpenDarwin 7.2.1
OpenDarwin is the core of Mac OS X. more>>
Darwin is the core of Mac OS X. The Darwin kernel is based on FreeBSD and Mach 3.0 technologies and provides protected memory and pre-emptive multitasking. Darwin runs on PowerPC-based Macintosh computers and a version is also available for x86-compatible computers.
Apples open source projects allow developers to customize and enhance key Apple software. Through the open source model, Apple engineers and the open source community collaborate to create better, faster and more reliable products for our users.
Beneath the appealing, easy-to-use interface of Mac OS X is a rock-solid foundation that is engineered for stability, reliability, and performance. This foundation is a core operating system commonly known as Darwin.
Darwin integrates a number of technologies, most importantly Mach 3.0, operating-system services based on 4.4BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution), high-performance networking facilities, and support for multiple integrated file systems.
Since it was first released in March 1999, Darwin has been the open-source OS technology underlying Apples Mac OS X operating system, with all development being managed and hosted by Apple at http://developer.apple.com/darwin/.
Since Apples Mac OS X releases are based directly on the live Darwin CVS repository, it has been necessary to have a fairly comprehensive procedural framework in place for registering and managing Darwin developers to ensure a good level of quality control. While this system has served its intended purpose quite well, it is desirable to further increase the collaboration between Apple and the open source community beyond the current model.
OpenDarwin.org, jointly founded in April 2002 by Internet Systems Consortium, Inc. (ISC) and Apple, is an attempt to take cooperative Darwin development to the next level. Membership in the OpenDarwin project and access to its works are open to everyone.
The project is also fully independent, with control over its own web site, project news, bug tracking information and CVS repository, as well as any other services that the community owners may wish to provide. Neither Apple nor ISC take any responsibility for, or exercise any editorial control over, the OpenDarwin project.
Many OpenDarwin members are either Apple employees or Darwin Committers, who have an active interest in merging technologies from OpenDarwin.org into Darwin and Mac OS X releases. With OpenDarwin, project members have greater latitude in producing incremental updates or interim releases of Darwin.
The mission of the OpenDarwin project is to innovate and explore new technologies while still remaining relevant, through its informal connection to www.opensource.apple.com, to the mainstream computing environments that Apple provides. It complements Apples infrastructure by allowing increased participation by the community.
Enhancements:
- Install script has been enhanced to allow user creating, setting root password
- AuthenticAMD cpus are now properly detected
- cvs from upstream feature releases
- locate from NetBSD
- at/atrun synced with FreeBSD-5
- various unix software has been updated.
- ODTulipDriver, a driver for tulip-based ethernet controllers, has been added.
- ncutil, a network configuration tool for Darwin, has been updated to version 2.1

PDL::Slatec 2.4.3
PDL::Slatec is a PDL interface to the slatec numerical programming library. more>>
PDL::Slatec is a PDL interface to the slatec numerical programming library.
SYNOPSIS
use PDL::Slatec;
($ndeg, $r, $ierr, $a) = polyfit($x, $y, $w, $maxdeg, $eps);
This module serves the dual purpose of providing an interface to parts of the slatec library and showing how to interface PDL to an external library. Using this library requires a fortran compiler; the source for the routines is provided for convenience.
Currently available are routines to: manipulate matrices; calculate FFTs; fit data using polynomials; and interpolate/integrate data using piecewise cubic Hermite interpolation.
Piecewise cubic Hermite interpolation (PCHIP)
PCHIP is the slatec package of routines to perform piecewise cubic Hermite interpolation of data. It features software to produce a monotone and "visually pleasing" interpolant to monotone data. According to Fritsch & Carlson ("Monotone piecewise cubic interpolation", SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis 17, 2 (April 1980), pp. 238-246), such an interpolant may be more reasonable than a cubic spline if the data contains both "steep" and "flat" sections. Interpolation of cumulative probability distribution functions is another application. These routines are cryptically named (blame FORTRAN), beginning with ch, and accept either float or double piddles.
Most of the routines require an integer parameter called check; if set to 0, then no checks on the validity of the input data are made, otherwise these checks are made. The value of check can be set to 0 if a routine such as chim has already been successfully called.
If not known, estimate derivative values for the points using the chim, chic, or chsp routines (the following routines require both the function (f) and derivative (d) values at a set of points (x)).
Evaluate, integrate, or differentiate the resulting PCH function using the routines: chfd; chfe; chia; chid.
If desired, you can check the monotonicity of your data using chcm.
EOD # un-confuse emacs
# if define chbs, then add something like the following to point 3: # # or use chbs to convert a PCH function into B-representation # for use with the B-spline routines of slatec # (although no interface to them currently exist). #
# add function definitions after finishing the first pp_addpm(), since this # adds a =head1 FUNCTIONS line at the end of the text

Invasion 3D 1.0.3
Invasion 3D is a free multi-platform 3D arcade game, based on OpenGL and SDL and available for Windows and Linux. more>>
Invasion 3D is a fun and addictive 3D arcade game!
The idea for Invasion 3D came during the summer of 2004, when I was working in New Jersey. I had been playing a lot of old arcade games on the MAME arcade emulator.
I had fun playing the original Taito Space Invaders game, but I was frustrated with the inability to shoot more than a single bullet at once with this game. I decided it would be fun to play a modern, 3-D version of Space Invaders with some serious weapons which would allow for massive alien destruction, as it should be.
At first I thought of using my Jax3D engine to render this game, but in the end I decided to learn something new and use OpenGL. I got started by looking at NeHes OpenGL Tutorials and wrote this game in my spare time during April and May of 2005.
Main features:
- Realistic physics simulation
- Challenging and fun gameplay
- Stunning visual effects
- Multiple weapons
- Massive Destruction
- Hidden bonuses
- 20 Waves with over 2,000 invaders
- Both Windows and Linux versions
- Free to Distribute to Anyone!

Gentoo Linux 2007.0
Gentoo Linux uses an enhanced BSD ports-style package system. more>>
Gentoo Linux, a special flavor of Linux that can be automatically optimized and customized for just about any application or need. Extreme configurability, performance and a top-notch user and developer community are all hallmarks of the Gentoo experience.
Thanks to a technology called Portage, Gentoo Linux can become an ideal secure server, development workstation, professional desktop, gaming system, embedded solution or something else -- whatever you need it to be. Because of its near-unlimited adaptability, we call Gentoo Linux a metadistribution.
Portage is the heart of Gentoo Linux, and performs many key functions. For one, Portage is the software distribution system for Gentoo Linux. To get the latest software for Gentoo Linux, you type one command: emerge --sync.
This command tells Portage to update your local "Portage tree" over the Internet. Your local Portage tree contains a complete collection of scripts that can be used by Portage to create and install the latest Gentoo packages. Currently, we have more than 8000 packages in our Portage tree, with new ones being added all the time.
Portage is also a package building and installation system. When you want to install a package, you type emerge packagename, at which point Portage automatically builds a custom version of the package to your exact specifications, optimizing it for your hardware and ensuring that the optional features in the package that you want are enabled -- and those you dont want arent.
Portage also keeps your system up-to-date. Typing emerge -u world -- one command -- will ensure that all the packages that you want on your system are updated automatically.
Portage will keep your Gentoo Linux system as "up-to-date" as you desire. And because of this, experienced Gentoo users dont pay too much attention to "new versions" of Gentoo Linux -- after all, the latest and greatest version of Gentoo Linux is always available by typing an emerge --sync command.
Theres no need to wait several months for a "new version" of Gentoo Linux to be released because Gentoo Linux is continually updated and refined and these improvements are immediately made available to you.
Main features:
- Support for x86, AMD64, PowerPC, UltraSparc, Alpha and MIPS processors
- LiveCD-based installation for x86, AMD64, PowerPC, UltraSparc and Alpha
- Latest stable KDE and GNOME
- Various optimized Linux kernels
- Very modern GNU development environment
- Excellent filesystem support: ReiserFS, XFS, ext3, EVMS, LVM
- Excellent hardware support: NVIDIA, Creative Labs Live! and Audigy
- Modular OpenGL and compiler sub-system (supports multiple co-existing versions)
- Clean, dependency-based system initialization scripts
- New "hardened" Gentoo security initiative
- more than 8000 packages of the latest and greatest software
- Enhanced Portage capabilities
It all began with Extra Time. Time to explore, Time to discover, Time to experiment. Thats how the creator of Gentoo, Daniel Robbins stepped into the world of Linux. He started with Debian Linux, setup a couple of applications, learnt the ins & outs of Linux and as most Linux users do, tried out a couple of distributions and settled to help out with a distro called Stampede Linux.
Soon he was into Stampede development and working on their package management system. After a period of time and due to certain issues, he moved on and decided that he would create his own distribution.
Thus, Enoch was born. Daniel wanted Enoch to be a blazingly fast distro with capabilities to completely automate the package creation and upgrading process. Soon there was a #enoch on irc.freenode.net and 10 developers helping with the distro. Over a period of time, as Enoch started improving, they felt that it needed a new name.
They called it Gentoo Linux. Around about the time Gentoo was moving to its 1.0 release, Daniel bought a new, fast machine. The motherboard model had a faulty chip that caused Linux to lock up when idle and because of that, Gentoo Linux development came to a complete halt.
Since there wasnt anything going on with Gentoo, Daniel switched to FreeBSD. He liked what he saw. Especially the "Ports" system. And he returned to the Linux world. Along with the help of other developers like Achim Gottinger, Gentoo was back on track & charging ahead.
The whole package management system was redesigned & called Portage. Gentoo has been in active development ever since, with tons of features being continually added over the years. Teams of volunteers help keep Gentoo on the bleeding edge and patched to ensure maximum security & stability.
The Gentoo development model was extended with a complete project-based approach where each project develops independently but cooperatively with other Gentoo projects. Regular meetings between the project leads (called "project managers") keep the development high-paced. The Gentoo Foundation has been created to provide financial caretaking, juridical protection and oversee general Gentoo development to keep it in line with the Social Contract.
In April 2004, Daniel decided to resign from his development responsibilities within Gentoo. We are all very grateful for all the work that Daniel has put in Gentoo and wish him the best.
Gentoo still continues to grow, evolve and improve itself - new projects are added, new developers are joining, new packages are added every day. The Gentoo developer and user community is undoubtedly Gentoos strongest value.
Enhancements:
- After several delays, the Gentoo Release Engineering team is proud to announce the release of Gentoo Linux 2007.0, code named Secret Sauce. This release includes a completely rewritten version of the Gentoo Linux Installer on the AMD64 and x86 live CD and live DVD images. It also includes GNOME 2.16.2, KDE 3.5.5, Xfce 4.4, Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.3, OpenOffice.org 2.1.0, and the 2.6.19 Linux kernel. Updated hardware support is among the highlights of the x86 release. Besides the many updated office and productivity packages x86 also brings an update to glibc 2.5. On amd64 you can enjoy updated 32-bit emulation libraries improving support for many closed source applications and browser plugins.
