B5I2ISO is a very simple utility to convert a BlindWrite BIN image
to the standard ISO-9660 format.

Wheeew... finally, after looking for quite sometime... this hack is
done.
Okay... for those of you who might wonder what this utility for,
CCD2ISO is a CloneCD image file to ISO image file converter. As I
now move to Linux entirely, I still need some migration, specially
for my existing CloneCD images, I want to use them in Linux, and I
can't find any converter to convert them to ISO to be mountable by
Linux, so I try to make one...

The bchunk package contains a UNIX/C rewrite of the BinChunker
program. BinChunker converts a CD image in a .bin/.cue format
(sometimes .raw/.cue) into a set of .iso and .cdr/.wav tracks.
The .bin/.cue format is used by some non-UNIX CD-writing
software, but is not supported on most other CD-writing programs.
CDI2ISO is a very simple utility to convert DiscJuggler image to
the standard ISO-9660 format.

BitTorrent is a tool for distributing files. It's extremely easy
to use - downloads are started by clicking on hyperlinks. Whenever
more than one person is downloading at once they send pieces of
the file(s) to each other, thus relieving the central server's
bandwidth burden. Even with many simultaneous downloads, the
upload burden on the central server remains quite small, since
each new downloader introduces new upload capacity.
Background file allocation - missing file space is allocated in
the background, and hashes are checked only for pre-existing data.
Multitracker addition - .torrent file can now specify multiple
trackers Preferences menu - lets you conveniently configure the
GUI client Status light - gives you important information about
the torrent at a glance
It is a GTK2-based Viewer/Editor for BitTorrent meta files for UNIX operating
systems. It is able to get information from tracker(s), check file(s), show
detailed information and modify some of it inside .torrent files.
The main purpose of GTorrentViewer is to give the ability to see and modify
information inside .torrent files without starting any download. Besides, the
ability to get seeds and peers for the open torrent, see information from
scrape system of the trackers and check the files if you alredy have them.

Twindy is a window manager influenced by the workflow of the
Tracktion (http://www.rawmaterialsoftware.com/tracktion) DAW
software for OSX and Windows.
The idea with that software (as I see it) is that everything should
be on screen at once - there shouldn't be a mass of windows
obscuring each other's contents like you get with other sequencers.
Twindy is basically the result of me wondering whether you could use
the same basic principle to create a window manager (although it
maybe departs from the 'everything on one screen' idea with it's use
of tabbed windows).
If you're not familiar with Tracktion, Twindy's probably closest to
Ion in terms of window managers, but with less flexibility in
placing windows, and a bit more eye-candy.
Twindy relies heavily on the JUCE (http://www.rawmaterialsoftware.com/juce)
library to handle graphics, file loading, and pretty much everything
else. The version included here (based on v1.42) has been *very slightly*
modified by me (search for 'Twindy' comments), so that Twindy gets
notified when new windows open.

KDocker will help you dock any application in the system tray. This means you
can dock openoffice, xmms, firefox, thunderbolt, eclipse, anything! Just point
and click. Works for both KDE and GNOME (In fact it should work for most modern
window managers that support NET WM Specification. I believe it works for XFCE,
for instance)
All you need to do is start KDocker and select an application using the mouse
and lo! the application gets docked into the system tray. The application can
also be made to dissappear from the task bar.
KDocker supports the KDE System Tray Protocol and the System Tray Protocol from
freedesktop.org
Very few apps have docking capabilities (e.g. Yahoo! and XMMS don't have any).
Even if they do, sometimes they are specific to desktops (working on KDE but
not on GNOME, and vice versa). KDocker will help you dock any application in
the system tray. This means you can dock OpenOffice.org, XMMS, Firefox,
Thunderbird, etc. Just point and click. It works for KDE, GNOME, XFCE, and
probably many more.

CCP is a program that reads configuration files and upgrades them.
It takes a oldfile (typically the old configuration file currently in
use) and a newfile (typically the default new configuration file) and
optionally a template (a file which tells ccp how the generated
configuration file should look like. It is generated on-the-fly if a template
isn't supplied, so it is usually not needed). CCP first reads all the
configuration options and values in the new file, then in the old file,
then it either generates the template or reads the supplied template
file, finally it merges the files into one - creating a new
configuration file that has the changes that was made to the old file
but also the new options that is included in the new file.
CCP is completely independent of the program that created the
configuration file, and can be used for many different purposes. For
instance it can be used to merge changes between an old user-edited
configuration file and a .rpmnew file generated by rpm when a
rpm was upgraded.

For instance, I've used:
* SmartDimmer http://www.acc.umu.se/~erikw/program/
* NVclock http://www.linuxhardware.org/nvclock/
but it is supposed to work also with others, since you can configure the
applet.

Email is an ever increasing stream of information. Most people do not have time
to read all the email that they might be interested in. This is where lurker
can help.
After being subscribed to interesting mailing lists, lurker archives all
incoming mail into a database. Old mail can also be imported. Once mail is in
the database, lurker can help you search the unending noise for those gems you
need to read.
A web-browser is used to interact with lurker. This makes lurker useful for
mailing list administrators, who can deploy lurker on the host of several
related lists. It also enables private users to access their lurker
installation from anywhere in the world.
Lurker is not just another mailing list archiver. It is capable of handling
gigabytes of mail without slowing down. Lurker has been designed to scale to
support sites with thousands of concurrent users and hundreds of new messages
a second. If you run a high-volume mailing list archive, you should seriously
consider lurker for this alone.
To facilitate finding interesting data, lurker supports:
- full keyword search by body, subject, author, ...
- a graphical representation of message relationships
- charts of the current activity about a topic
- searching lists or queries around an estimated time
- signature verification to confirm the author
- messages markup to find related information
As one would expect, lurker also supports file attachments, multiple languages,
message threading, gpg key photo ids, a transactional database, automatic
timezone detection, render caching, xml customization with xslt and css,
multiple front-ends (3-tier deployment), and many other buzz words.
Lurker works best with mozilla, internet explorer, konqueror, safarri, opera,
and lynx. Other browsers, most notably netscape4, can use lurker, but it will
be quite ugly. Lurker has been tested on Linux, *BSD, Solaris, MacOS X, and
windows/mingw. However, it is easiest to setup in Debian/GNU Linux.

Viewglob is a filesystem visualization add-on for Bash and Zsh
when used in windowing environments. It controls a graphical
display listing the contents of certain directories, with file
selections, which are relevant to the active shell+terminal. The
display updates dynamically when the command line or environment
of the current shell changes or when the user switches to a
different terminal. It can track multiple shells, local and
remote.
The package has three communicating parts:
* vgseer, client:
Supervises an interactive shell and keeps track of command line
and environment changes.
* vgd, server daemon:
Mediates information exchange between any number of vgseer
processes (local or remote) and a Viewglob display.
* vgmini and vgclassic, graphical displays:
List the contents of directories relevant to the currently active
shell, highlighting file selections and potential name completions.
A convenience script 'viewglob' is provided as a startup shortcut.

wbumount has two goals:
(1): Make a "statement" how i would deal with the "umount - device is busy"-problem
on the free desktop.
(2): To provide a simple tool which makes life easier for people using the linux
desktop - until someone comes up with a better solution.
wbumount helps unix destop users to find out, which processes block unmounting
or ejecting devices (such as cdroms, usb-harddisks...).
wbumount only deals with mount points which are under user control ("user"-option
in fstab or mtab).

Imediff2 is an interactive, user friendly 2-way merge tool in text
mode - essentially an easy-to-use replacement for sdiff. In other
words, you give it two slightly different text files and merge
them with a nice user interface.
The program lets you scroll around the document much like with the
popular less pager and highlights the changed sections as you go.
You can then choose which version of the differing part will end
up in the merged version; first, second or optionally, if the
'unresolved' mode is enabled, both.

This tool copies all required files for a movie title from a DVD on your
harddisk for further processing with libdvdreads image mode (e.g. transcode).
It automatically selects the title with longest duration - but you can also
pick a specific one. The tool determines the correct title set (VTS-VOB files)
for the selected title, clones the navigation information (IFO files) and
extracts (decodes) the data into new video object streams.

This tool tries to find a suitable clipping border for a series of gray images.
It is very useful to automatically extract clipping values for transcoding a
movie if the source frame is encoded with black bars.
A border around an image is defined by a rectangular and homogenous valued area
extending from each edge of the image (e.g. the black bars around a movie
frame). For each image the largest clip border is determined and the smallest
common region of the image series is returned. Empty images or images with no
valid clipping region are ignored.
To cope with noisy regions in the black border areas, the region finding
algorithm does not simply cut away all regions with purely zero values, but it
uses a threshold in the absolut gradient sum along rows and columns as a hint
for the begin of real image contents.
You need a frame processing tool like transcode to actually perform the
clipping operation.

mpglen is a simple tool to read in one or more mpeg files and report the
number of frames and GOPs it finds.
I wrote it because the mpeg format does not include any length information
in it's header, and to convert an mpeg to a known size (S)VCD, you need to
know the length to select the optimum bitrate.

This is the second public release of QSync (0.3).
The GUI is looking better, and there are many fewer bugs than before,
but downloading through rsync (which is what most people will use QSync
for) works very well. This version does not depend on the system rsync
binary at all - it uses a built-in version of rsync.
So, what doesn't work?
The syncing portion of QSync isn't quite right yet. When downloading
files that already exist in up-to-date form on the client side, the
rsync operation will complete successfully, but the progress info will
not be updated for said files. This is a feature that will be implemented
in subsequent versions of QSync. Uploading files will also come in later
versions, as I'm guessing most people are less likely to use this feature.

POE is an event-driven networking and multitasking framework for Perl.
It has been in active development since 1996, with its first open
release in 1998. O'Reilly's 'The Perl Conference' (now OSCON's Perl
track) named POE 'Best New Module' in 1999.
POE has been used in mission-critical systems such as internetworked
financial markets, file systems, commerce and application servers. It
has been used in projects ranging from a few lines of code to tens of
thousands.
POE is compatible with perl versions as old as 5.005_03. This may
change as it becomes harder to support old versions of Perl over time.
POE includes an evolving component framework. Components are
high-level, modular, reusable pieces of programs. Several components
have been published on the CPAN, and more are listed on POE's web
site. See: http://search.cpan.org/search?query=POE&mode=dist
POE includes components and libraries for making quick work of network
clients, servers, and peers. A simple stand-alone web application
takes about 30 lines of code, most of which is your own custom logic.

mkCDrec (Make CDROM Recovery) makes a bootable (El Torito) disaster
recovery image, including backups of the Linux system to one or
more CD-ROM(s) (multi-volume sets).
Otherwise, the backups can be stored on another disk, NFS disk,
or (remote) tape. After a disk crash or system intrusion, the
system can be booted from the CD-ROM and one can restore the
complete system as it was. It also features disk cloning, which
allows one to restore a disk to another disk (the destination
disk does not have to be of the same size, as it calculates the
partition layout itself). Currently, ext2, ext3, minix, msdos,
fat, vfat, reiserfs, xfs and jfs filesystems are supported.
One Button Disaster Recovery (OBDR) is also supported as recovery
method.
This package includes also the mkCDrec utilities. These are optional
for mkCDrec itself, but are an added value for rescue and recovery
purposes. The utilities are staticly compiled and include parted,
memtest, partimage, gpart, and recover. Memtest86 is also available
for memory testing.
Redet allows the user to construct regular expressions and test
them against input data by executing any of a variety of search
programs, editors, and programming languages that make use of
regular expressions. When a suitable regular expression has been
constructed it may be saved to a file.
Redet stands for Regular Expression Development and Execution Tool.
For each program, a palette showing the available regular expression
syntax is provided. Selections from the palette may be copied to
the regular expression window with a mouse click. Users may add
their own definitions to the palette via their initialization file.
Redet also keeps a list of the regular expressions executed, from
which entries may be copied back into the regular expression under
construction. The history list is saved to a file and restored on
startup, so it persists across sessions. So long as the underlying
program supports Unicode, redet allows UTF-8 Unicode in both test
data and regular expressions.

London Law is an online multiplayer adaptation of the classic Scotland Yard
board game (also see Wikipedia), first published by Ravensburger in 1983. The
game is unusually asymmetric; one player controls the movements of the criminal
Mr. X as he tries to evade Scotland Yard, while another one to five players
control five detectives trying to track him down. Mr. X has an advantage in
access to transportation routes, and his precise location remains hidden for
most of the game. The detectives have only the advantage of superior numbers,
so they must work in concert to limit the criminal's options. London Law
features an attractive map overlaid on high-resolution satellite imagery.

String::Approx lets you match and substitute strings approximately. With this
you can emulate errors: typing errorrs, speling errors, closely related
vocabularies (colour color), genetic mutations (GAG ACT), abbreviations
(McScot, MacScot).
NOTE: String::Approx suits the task of string matching, not string comparison,
and it works for strings, not for text.
If you want to compare strings for similarity, you probably just want the
Levenshtein edit distance (explained below), the Text::Levenshtein and
Text::LevenshteinXS modules in CPAN. See also Text::WagnerFischer and
Text::PhraseDistance. (There are functions for this in String::Approx, e.g.
adist(), but their results sometimes differ from the bare Levenshtein et al.)

A dosbox frontend written in PyKDE.
Rather than concentrating on dosbox configuration management over multiple
games, this frontend concentrates on file management.
This frontend is designed to separate the freshly installed files from the
changed file, configuration files, and saved games. Every game entry in the
frontend is split between two different archives. The first archive is a
zipfile created upon entry to the frontend. This is meant to save a fresh
install. The secondary, or extras archive, is a tarball whose contents are
generated from an rdiff-backup of the leftover or changed files relative to the
install archive.

Free Tennis, a free tennis simulation.
The most notable features of Free Tennis are:
* Real tactics are useful in the game. For example, it is best to
take the net with a slow, low shot (backspin); it is best to play
diagonal when you are decentered horizontally, in order not to give
angles; you should get back to center and behind the baseline after
the shot, in order not to be caught in No-Man's-Land when the
opponent hits
* The A.I. is very advanced and reflects those tactics
* You have total control over the parabola described by the shot
* The graphic gestures are realistic and elegant
* Different players have different skills
* The game is developed by a former tennis player
* Free Tennis is Free Software (which means more than simply
'open-source'). It is released under the GPL license. Should
you need another license, please ask the author.
* For instructions: http://freetennis.sourceforge.net/manual.html

Logapp is a wrapper utility that helps supervise the execution of
applications that produce heavy console output (e.g. make, CVS
and Subversion). It does this by logging, trimming, and coloring
each line of the output before displaying it. It can be called
instead of the executable that should be monitored; it then starts
the application and logs all of its console output to a file. The
output shown in the terminal is preprocessed, e.g. to limit the
length of printed lines and to show the stderr output in a different
color. It is also possible to automatically highlight lines that
match a certain regular expression. The output is therefore
reduced to the necessary amount, and all important lines are easy
to identify.

Lkmonitor is a tool for monitoring and managing linux's kernel.
It has been developed for GNOME, using Glib and Gtk libraries in
C Language.
lkmonitor tries to offer detailed information about the
characteristics of the system, such as types of cpu, state of the
memory and/or the file system registered in kernel.
lkmonitor is an open source project with information about the
source code and software architecture in order to ease the
development of new features.
Small but functional frontend to the source control program git.
qgit, a git GUI viewer.
With qgit you will be able to browse revisions history, view patch
content and changed files, graphically following different
development branches.
Main features
* View revisions, diffs, files history, files annotation, archive
tree.
* Commit changes visually cherry picking modified files.
* Apply or format patch series from selected commits, drag and
drop commits between two instances of qgit.
* Associate commands sequences, scripts and anything else executable
to a custom action. Actions can be run from menu and corresponding
output is grabbed by a terminal window.
* qgit implements a GUI for the most common StGIT commands like
push/pop and apply/format patches. You can also create new patches
or refresh current top one using the same semantics of git commit,
i.e. cherry picking single modified files.
Hotwire is a shell replacement for gnome-terminal/xterm + sh + ssh
for developers and system administrators. Hotwire is somewhat like
Windows PowerShell, but graphical, and also a little like MacOS X
Automator, but text based.
Crystal Space is a free (LGPL) and portable 3D Development Kit
written in C++. It supports: true six degree's of freedom, colored
lighting, mipmapping, portals, mirrors, alpha transparency,
reflective surfaces, 3D sprites (frame based or with skeletal
animation), procedural textures, radiosity, particle systems,
halos, volumetric fog, scripting (using Python or other languages),
8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit display support, OpenGL and software
renderering, font support, hierarchical transformations, etc.
CEL (or Crystal Entity Layer) is a set of plugins and applications
built on top of the Crystal Space SDK. CEL provides a set of
commonly used abstractions to specifically help with writing games.
CEL introduces the notion of an 'entity' which can be any kind of
(visual or non-visual) object in a game. CEL also comes with a lot
of useful plugins for 3rd/first person camera handling, physics,
movement system, quest system, and so on.
Written in C++, CEL can also be interacted with via Python or Xml.
Using CELstart it is also not neccessary to use C++. This means
that since the base code is C++, CEL is fast while being extremely
easy to use from within Python and/or Xml.
FMOD3 is a cross platform audio library and toolset to let you easily

wxScintilla implements the Scintilla editing control (see
http://scintilla.sourceforge.net/) with the wxWidgets API. It's
derived from wxStyledTextCtrl and has the same functionality
and a similar API.
This applications is a very simple editor with syntax highlighting
for writing and compiling Cg shaders.
Since 0.3 version there are also calltips for all Cg functions.
They will appear on the screen when you write an opening bracket
after function name. You can also show them by CTRL+SHIFT+SPACE
shortcut (as Visual Studio has by default). The application also
supports highlighting for semantics.
It helps me working with shaders, maybe will be helpful for you.

Doodle is a desktop search engine for Linux. It searches your
hard drive for files using pattern matching on meta-data. It
extracts file-format specific meta-data using libextractor and
builds a suffix tree to index the files. The index can then be
searched rapidly. It is similar to locate, but can take
advantage of information such as ID3 tags. It is possible to do
full-text indexing using the appropriate libextractor plugins.
It also supports using FAM to keep the database up-to-date.

user-provided object symbols are defined.
ShapeFusion is a scenario editor for the AlephOne game engine,
compatible with the original Bungie engines Marathon 2 and Marathon
Infinity. It's specialized on editing the scenario Shapes file
(the component holding game graphics and animations) and thus must
be used side by side with other editors, mainly a map editor.
Support for the scenario Sounds file is in progress.
So far ShapeFusion allows to:
* export color tables;
* import, export and delete bitmaps;
* add, delete and edit frames;
* add, delete and edit sequences.
ShapeFusion is written in C++ using wxWidgets and can therefore
run on many operating systems, mainly Linux, MacOS X and Windows.
We are ufficially supporting Linux and MacOS X.
ShapeFusion is free software, released under the terms of the GNU
General Public License.
I wrote it because I had a few concert DVDs laying around, and
wanted to get their audio tracks into my portable music player.
At the time, existing Linux-based tools meant ripping the video
first, then extracting the audio. They made none of this easy.
Who has time for such nonsense? Devidify makes things easy.
Feed it a shiny disc and it spits out WAV, MP3, or Ogg Vorbis
files.
