easy to install trial software / shareware for linux

RAR 3.80 / 3.90 Beta 4 is a well-known and extremely powerful archive utility for everyone. It allows you to manage and control archive files. Console RAR supports archives only in RAR format, the names of which usually have a ".rar" extension. ZIP and other formats are not supported. Windows users may install GUI RAR version - WinRAR, which is able to process much more archive types.
The trial version has a 40-day usage limit.

Major Features:

1. RAR introduces an original compression algorithm. It allows higher compression ratios than other PC archiving tools, especially on executable files, object libraries, large text files, etc.
2. RAR offers an optional compression algorithm highly optimized for multimedia data.
3. RAR provides functionality for creating a solid archive, which can raise the compression ratio by 10% 50% over more common methods, particularly when packing large numbers of small files.
4. RAR offers the ability to create and change SFX archives using default and external SFX modules.
5. RAR offers the ability to create a multi-volume archive as SFX.
6. RAR offers a number of service functions, such as setting a password, adding archive and file comments. Even physically damaged archives may be repaired and an archive may be locked to prevent further changes. Authenticity information may be added for additional security and RAR will store information on the last update and name of the archive.

Enhancements:

• WinRAR version for Windows x64 is available. If you use Windows x64, it is strongly recommended to install 64 bit WinRAR version. It provides a higher performance and better shell integration than 32 bit version.
• RAR compression speed is improved for multi-core and multi-CPU systems. This improvement is most noticeable in Windows Vista and Windows 7 operating systems.
• "Remove duplicate folders from extraction path" option in "Settings/Compression" dialog is replaced by more universal "Remove redundant folders from extraction path" option. This option will eliminate redundant archive name based folders from extraction path if you unpack an archive with "Extract to DestName" context menu command and if archive root folder contains only one folder and no files.
• Changes in "Extraction path and options" dialog:
• • "New folder" button creates a new subfolder in currently selected folder;
  • F2 key renames a selected folder in the folders tree;
  • F5 key updated the tree pane contents;
  • Del key removes a selected folder in the folders tree.
  • You can enable "Show seconds" option in "Settings/File list" dialog if you wish to see seconds in file dates in file list in WinRAR shell.
  • "Where to check for SFX archives" options group in "Settings/Integration/Context menus items" dialog lets you to control processing of SFX archives in context menus. For example, if you frequently right click ".exe" files on slow network disks, you can turn off "Network disks" options to minimize the delay before displaying the context menu.
  • If you sort files by name in the file list in WinRAR shell, WinRAR will use the new logical file name sorting, same as in Windows Explorer, considering digits in file names by their numerical value. So files will be sorted as 1.txt, 2.txt, 10.txt instead of previous 1.txt, 10.txt, 2.txt. This new sort behavior is available in Windows XP Service Pack 2 and newer.
  • Ctrl+W key combination can be used to close the main WinRAR window also as WinRAR viewer windows. "View as Windows text" shortcut in WinRAR viewer changed from Ctrl+W to Ctrl+I.
  • New command line switch -rdisables recursion completely. So rar a -rarc dirname command will add only the empty dirname folder and ignore its contents. By default, if dirname does not include wildcards, RAR adds its contents even if -r switch is not specified.
  • If used when extracting, the new command line switch -ai forces RAR to ignore file attributes. When using this switch, extracted files will always have attributes assigned by operating system to a newly created file by default.
  • If output file name is not specified in "cw" command, console RAR will send comment data to stdout.
  • When compressing stdin data with -si[name] switch, RAR sets modification time of archived entry to current system time. Previous RAR versions did not fill this field, resulting in meaningless modification time for stdin.
  • Message displayed when you place the mouse cursor on WinRAR tray icon includes the archive name now. Previously only time left and total percent were displayed for archiving operations.
• Bugs fixed:
• • WinRAR could fail to open tar or tar.gz archive if such archive contained a file larger than 8 GB;
  • WinRAR context menu did not work properly in Windows 7 beta if icons in context menus were enabled and user clicked a file inside of Windows 7 Library folder;
  • previous WinRAR versions failed to rename files having 5 or more continuous spaces in the name. WinRAR shell does not display such spaces for safety reasons, because they can hide an actual file extension. But this security measure prevented the rename command to work properly.

You can specify what kind (format) of documents to index, location of documents (a website, a directory on server, single webpage, etc.). You can define the level of importance (weight) of various document properties and parts that are taken into account during searching.

ESP conquered a mission-critical printing function. Without their persistent approach, we would be left with no option for printing dot-matrix from the MacOS X environment.
Our issue revolved around printing custom form sizes to Epson and Okidata printers. User-defined custom pages never worked properly and always rotated ninety degrees.
Now that we are using the excellent ESP Print Pro Multi-User software, our office is able to completely migrate to OS X. We appreciate the effort and admire the problem solving prowess of the folks at ESP.

Lunar Domination is a financial strategy game that combines traditional war strategy elements with business and finances. Lunar Domination pits you against a challenging opponent in a fight for the domination of the lunar ore market. Unlike most strategy games that you are probably used to, Lunar Domination has no weapons or violence of any kind. The only weapon that is available to you in this game is your mind.
Lunar Domination is based on the concept of a market economy, and revolves around the competition between you and your opponent. In order to defeat your opponent, you must be the first to fill the ore quotas of two of the three clients in the scenario. Accomplishing this involves buying land, constructing buildings, and of course mining and selling the ore to the clients. Six different buildings with a unique approach to game economy, land management and resource management combine to create a challenging and rewarding experience.
Main features:
- Quick introductory tutorial so you can start playing in just ten minutes.
- Turn based gameplay, so you can take your time to weigh your decisions.
- Adjustable difficulty level to make the game challenging, but not too hard.
- Large and small scenarios so you can pick how long you want to play.
- Runs on most computers including laptops, 3D graphics card not required.
Installation instructions:
If your distribution is LSB compliant, the installer will create a program group and desktop shortcut for you. Otherwise you will have to create a shortcut manually, or run the game from the command line.
To run the game from the command line, you must run the shell script named "launch_lunar_domination" that is located in the games install directory. Running the executable directly will not work.
Known issues:
To run the game you must have libc version 2.4 or higher installed. Recent versions of most Linux distributions meet this requirement. If you have an older version of a distribution, an appropriate update should be available for it from its maintainers to upgrade to libc 2.4.
If you are running the 64-bit version of Ubuntu, you will need to install the package "ia32-libs" if you have not done so already. This package provides support for running 32-bit applications. Other 64-bit Debian based distributions (including Debian itself) may require installation of this package as well if it was not installed by default.

Easysoft ODBC-SQL Server Driver provides ODBC access to SQL Server for ODBC-enabled applications running on Linux and major Unix platforms.
Easysoft ODBC-SQL Server Driver supports SQL Server 7, SQL Server 2000, and SQL Server 2005, and is fully compatible with the unixODBC Driver Manager, which is included in the standard product distribution.
ODBC Access to SQL Server from Unix and Linux
The Easysoft ODBC-SQL Server Driver connects Unix and Linux applications to SQL Server databases. Download our SQL Server ODBC driver to connect Perl, PHP, Python, C and any other ODBC-enabled language, interface or application to SQL Server.
Easysoft keep the ODBC-SQL Server Driver current with the latest version of SQL Server.
SQL Server 2005 support:
- MARS The Easysoft ODBC-SQL Server Driver supports Multiple Active Result Sets (MARS), enabling your Linux/Unix applications to have more than one pending request per connection, and, in particular to have more than one default result set open per connection. The MARS feature removes the restriction present in earlier versions of SQL Server in which an open default result set blocks the driver from sending requests to the server until the entire result set is consumed.
- XML data type The Easysoft ODBC-SQL Server Driver supports the XML data type, a SQL Server 2005 data type that allows ODBC applications to use an XQuery to query the contents of an XML document stored in SQL Server, check that the document conforms to an XML schema, and even modify the contents of the XML document in place.
- Large-value data types The Easysoft ODBC-SQL Server Driver supports the varchar(max), nvarchar(max) and varbinary(max) data types. These data types enable SQL Server to store and retrieve large character, Unicode and binary data more efficiently.
- Snapshot transaction isolation levels The Easysoft ODBC-SQL Server Driver supports the snapshot isolation level. When reading rows modified by another transaction, snapshot isolation enables a user to retrieve the version of the row that existed when the transaction started.
- SQL Server Express The Easysoft ODBC-SQL Server Driver supports SQL Server Express, the free, easy-to-use, lightweight version of SQL Server 2005.
In addition, the Easysoft ODBC-SQL Server Driver provides these features:
- Easy access to SQL Server data The Easysoft ODBC-SQL Server Driver installation leads you through the process of creating your first data source and tests the new data source by retrieving some remote SQL Server data.
- Detect available SQL Server instances The Easysoft ODBC-SQL Server Driver includes a diagnostic program that uses the SQL Server Browser or SQL Server 2000 listener service to detect and report the SQL Server instances that are visible from your client machine. You can therefore verify that your SQL Server instance is available before configuring your ODBC data source.
- Access SQL Server from Perl, PHP, Python and C Use the Easysoft ODBC-SQL Server Driver with the Perl DBI and DBD::ODBC modules, PHP, PEAR DB, the Python mxODBC interface, C and any other ODBC-enabled programming language or interface.
- Connect Linux/Unix Applications to SQL Server Access SQL Server databases from Apache, ApplixWare, Informatica, OpenOffice.org, StarOffice and any other ODBC-enabled application.
- 32-bit and 64-bit SQL Server driver Both 32bit and 64bit versions of the Easysoft ODBC-SQL Server Driver are available, where appropriate.
- ODBC 3.51 support The Easysoft ODBC-SQL Server Driver complies with the ODBC 3.51 specification. The ODBC-SQL Server Driver supports all ODBC 3.51 API calls. The driver also supports applications written using earlier versions of ODBC.
- Unicode support The Easysoft ODBC-SQL Server Driver is a Unicode ODBC driver that provides both Unicode and ANSI access to SQL Server databases.
- unixODBC support The Easysoft ODBC-SQL Server Driver is compatible with and includes unixODBC, the open source ODBC Driver Manager for non-Windows platforms. The Easysoft ODBC-SQL Server Driver installation can automatically install the driver into unixODBC, making the ODBC-SQL Server Driver immediately available to your ODBC applications. The unixODBC project is currently led by Easysoft developer Nick Gorham and we have many years of experience in supporting and testing our drivers with unixODBC.
- Thread-safety The Easysoft ODBC-SQL Server Driver is thread-safe and therefore safe to use behind multi-threaded applications.
- ODBC diagnostic logging The Easysoft ODBC-SQL Server Driver lets you generate diagnostic trace logs that help you troubleshoot problems by monitoring the ODBC calls your application makes.
