high quality trial software / shareware for linux

VisualRoute helps determine if a connectivity problem is due to an ISP, the Internet, or the web site you -- or your customers -- are trying to reach, and pinpoints the network where a problem occurs.
VisualRoute 2005 is available in five specialized editions, enabling on-demand connectivity analysis from a single computer, a remote server, a remote customer desktop or multiple points on a global network.
All editions include integrated traceroute, ping tests, reverse DNS and Whois lookups, and display the actual route of connections and IP locations on a global map.
Main features:
- Analyzes Internet/Intranet connectivity
- Locates the source of poor network response time (latency)
- Answers the question: Why can?t I reach a website?
- Locates poor connection quality (packet loss) and identifies the ISP responsible
- Answers the question: Is the slow performance due to my ISP or a problem on the Internet?
Enhancements:
- This update adds JavaScript support for the Server NOC and Server Pro editions.

Triptych is a fast-paced physics based block dropping game that will keep you coming back for more. Maneuver and rotate blocks as they fall so that 3 or more of a color are adjacent to each other.
By achieving this, the blocks will be destroyed and the player will collect points. As blocks are destroyed, connected blocks are freed to move independently and blocks above will fall to fill the empty spaces. Unlike other puzzle games, the game board is a living entity where the blocks obey the laws of physics. Every game is a unique experience!
If you are a fan of fun, dynamic and re-playable games then you owe it to your self to try Triptych, the gam
Full Version includes:
- Unlimited play past level 3
- Expert level available
- No more delay at the title screen. The game starts instantly!
- The High Score feature is enabled. Record your best scores!
- By supporting Chronic Logic, you make it possible for us to continue making games and upgrade our existing titles!

PureBasic is a new "high level" programming language based on established BASIC rules. PureBasic is similar to any other BASIC compiler you may have used, whether for the Amiga or PC. Learning PureBasic is very easy! PureBasic has been created for the beginner and expert alike. Compilation time is really fast. We have put a lot of effort into its realization to produce a fast, reliable and system friendly language.
The syntax is simple but the possibilities are endless with PureBasics advanced features, such as pointers, structures, procedures, dynamically linked lists and much more. The experienced coder will have no problem in gaining access to any of the legal OS structures or API objects.
PureBasic is a portable programming language which currently works on AmigaOS (680x0 and PowerPC), Linux, MacOS X (PowerPC) and Windows computer systems. This means that the same code can be compiled natively the three systems and still use the full power of each. There are no bottlenecks like a virtual machine or a code translator; the generated code produces highly optimized executables regardless of the OS on which it is compiled. The external libraries are mainly written in hand optimized assembler, which produces very fast commands, often much faster than the C/C++ equivalent.
Main features:
- Huge set of internal commands (800+) to quickly and easily build any application or game
- All BASIC keywords are supported
- Very fast compiler which creates highly optimized executables
- No external DLLs, runtime interpreter or anything else required when creating executables
- Procedure support for structured programming with local and global variables
- Access to full OS API for advanced programmers
- Easy but very fast 2D game support trough dedicated libraries (DirectX, SDL, ...)
- Easy and high quality 3D support based on OGRE
- Optimal use of the available hardware by using highly optimized (assembly) commands
- Source code is portable between AmigaOS, Windows, MacOS X and Linux, for games and applications
- Dedicated editor and development environment
- Integrated debugger to easily trace programming bugs.
Technical Features:
- 486, Pentium (Pro, II, III) support
- Built-in arrays, dynamically linked lists, complex structures, pointers and variable definitions
- Supported types: Byte (8 bits), Word (16 bits), Long (32 bits), Float (32 bits) and also user defined types (structures)
- Built-in string types (characters)
- Constants, binary and hexadecimal numbers supported
- Expression reducer (grouping constants and explicit numbers together)
- Standard arithmetic support in respect of sign priority and parenthesis: +, -, /, *, and, or, lsl, asl, lsr, asr
- Very fast compilation (about 300 000 lines/min on a P200)
- Procedure support for structured programming with local and global variables
- All Standard BASIC keywords: If-Else-EndIf, Repeat-Until, etc.
- External library support to manipulate objects like BMP pictures, windows, gadgets, SDL, etc.
- External libraries are fully written in hand optimized assembler for maximum speed and compactness
- The Linux API functions are fully supported as if they were BASIC keywords
Inline assembler
- Precompiled structures with constants files for extra fast compilation
- Configurable CLI compiler
- System friendly, easy to install and use
