293 rxvt-unicode dist list(rxvt-unicode) cvs-pod(doc/rxvt.1.pod,) cvs-pod(doc/rxvt.7.pod,FAQ) cvs-pod(src/urxvt.pm,Perl) cvs-co(Changes)
294 rxvt-unicode is a clone of the well known terminal emulator rxvt.
295
296 <p>If you have a problem, please have a look at the
297 <a href="http://cvs.schmorp.de/rxvt-unicode/doc/rxvt.7.html">FAQ</a>
298 <em>first</em>.</p>
299
300 Its main features (many of them unique) over rxvt are:
301
302 <ul>
303 <li>Stores text in Unicode (either UCS-2 or UCS-4).</li>
304 <li>Uses locale-correct input, output and width: as long as your system supports the locale,
305 rxvt-unicode will display correctly.</li>
306 <li>Daemon mode: one daemon can open multiple windows on multiple displays, which
307 improves memory usage and startup time considerably.</li>
308 <li>Embedded perl, for endless customization and improvement opportunities, such as:
309 <ul>
310 <li>Tabbed terminal support.</li>
311 <li>Regex-driven customisable selection that can properly select shell arguments, urls etc.</li>
312 <li>Selection-transformation and option popup menus.</li>
313 <li>Automatically transforming the selection once made.</li>
314 <li>Incremental scrollback buffer search.</li>
315 <li>Automatic URL-underlining and launching.</li>
316 <li>Remote pastebin, digital clock, block graphics to ascii filter and
317 whatever you like to implement for yourself.</li>
318 </ul>
319 </li>
320 <li>Crash-free. At least I try, but rxvt-unicode certainly crashes much less often than
321 rxvt and its many clones, and reproducible bugs get fixed immediately.</li>
322 <li>Completely flicker-free.</li>
323 <li>Re-wraps long lines instead of splitting or cutting them on resizes.</li>
324 <li>Full combining character support (unlike xterm :).</li>
325 <li>Multiple fonts supported at the same time: No need to choose between
326 nice japanese and ugly latin, or no japanese and nice latin characters :).</li>
327 <li>Supports Xft and core fonts in any combination.</li>
328 <li>Can easily be embedded into other applications.</li>
329 <li>All documentation accessible through manpages.</li>
330 <li>Locale-independent XIM support.</li>
331 <li>Many small improvements, such as improved and corrected terminfo, improved secondary screen modes,
332 italic and bold font support, tinting and shading.</li>
333 <li>Encapsulation of privileged operations in a separate process (improves security).</li>
334 <li>Optimised for local <i>and</i> remote connections.</li>
335 </ul>
336
337 <br />
338 And its main <em>missing</em> features (which users request but are not (yet?) implemented) are:
339
340 <ul>
341 <li>Complex script support, such as arabic or tibetian - more info is needed. (use mlterm)</li>
342 <li>Right-to-Left rendering - more info is needed. (use mlterm)</li>
343 <li>IIIMF (Intranet/Internet Input Method Framework) support. (use scim)</li>
344 </ul>
345
346 <br />
347
348 There is an IRC channel for discussion on <a
349 href='irc://irc.freenode.net/rxvt-unicode'><tt>irc.freenode.net
350 #rxvt-unicode</tt></a>.
351
352 libptytty dist list(rxvt-unicode) cvs-pod(doc/libptytty.3.pod) cvs-co(Changes)
353 libptytty is an offspring of rxvt-unicode that handles pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling
354 in mostly OS-independent ways, so it's less of a hassle for you :)
355
356 gtkbfc cvs-pod(README)
357 Gtk+ bash file chooser replacement.
358
359 <b>gtkbfc</b> is a hack that replaces the dreaded, slow and hard-to-use GTK+
360 file chooser by a rxvt-unicode window with a little script that lets you use
361 readline tab-completion to enter filenames.
362
363 Again, its a dire hack and will not work with all programs. It does work
364 for gimp, firefox, gedit at least, though.
365
366 Async-Interrupt cpan cvs-pod(Interrupt.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent)
367 Allow C/XS libraries to interrupt perl asynchronously.
368
369 This is a module implementing a rarely-needed, very advanced technique
370 to interrupt a running perl interpreter from another thread, or similar,
371 context, at very low overhead.
372
373 CV cpan cvs-pod(bin/cv,) cvs-co(Changes)
374 Gtk2::CV is a perl module that implements an image viewer.
375
376 It comes with its own demo app, named <tt>cv</tt>, which is loosely
377 modeled after the classic <tt>xv</tt>, although it displays images much
378 faster than the great original. Stable releases are also found on CPAN.
379
380 kgsueme cpan list(kgsueme) cvs-co(Changes)
381 This perl module is about reverse engineering the
382 <a href="http://cvs.schmorp.de/kgsueme/doc/protocol.html">protocol</a>
383 (<a href="http://cvs.schmorp.de/kgsueme/doc/protocol.xml">xml source</a>)
384 of the popular <a href="http://kgs.kiseido.com">Kiseido Go Server</a>.
385
386 It features a sample Gtk+2 client (<a
387 href="http://kgsueme.schmorp.de/screenshot.jpg">screenshot</a>), a gtp
388 and a igs interface. It mostly focuses on documenting the protocol and
389 delivering a stable reference implementation which makes it easy to write
390 your own clients, bots and so on. It also contains Gtk2 modules for
391 KGS-independent rendering of beautiful Go boards. For a introduction to
392 the game of go, look <a href="http://playgo.to/interactive/">here</a>.
393
394 Net-Knuddels cvs-pod(Net/Knuddels.pm,)
395 This perl module provides an API for group communications using the
396 <a href="http://www.knuddels.de/">www.knuddels.de</a> protocol. It is outdated
397 and only provided as reference.
398
399 This module implements the knuddels.de chat protocol. Since it was created
400 the protocol changed in unknown ways, so this module no longer works. It is
401 provided as reference, though, in case the protocol didn't change much,
402 so one can learn about the protocol.
403 It could be used to write Knuddels clients, bots and even servers
404 (although the latter doesn't make much sense, the protocol is rather
405 ugly. If you want to implement your own group communication server, use
406 IRC instead).
407
408 AnyEvent-IRC cpan-elmex git-pod(lib/AnyEvent/IRC.pm,) git-co(Changes) git-co(samples/anyeventirccl) git-co(samples/anyeventirc) list(anyevent)
409 This module provides an alternative to the Net-IRC and Net-IRC2
410 modules. Its design rationale is offering a 100% non-blocking
411 callback-based interface, RFC-compliant parsing and a lightweight
412 approach to modularity and reusability.
413
414 Guard cpan cvs-pod(Guard.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
415 This small module implements scope and object guards, that is, code blocks
416 that are executed when a scope is being exited (or an object is destroyed).
417
418 Much effort was invested into these guards behaving "sensibly" in the
419 presence of thrown exceptions, errors and other adverse conditions, as
420 well as into good performance.
421
422 Net-IRC-Server cvs-pod(Net/IRC/Server.pm,)
423 This module provides a simple API for handling the IRC Protocol
424 aiming at implementing lightweight IRC-Servers.
425
426 PApp-SQL cpan cvs-pod(SQL.pm,)
427 Absolutely easy yet fast and powerful SQL access.
428
429 This module wraps the DBI prepare/bind/execute calls into a single "sql_exec" call,
430 complete with statement caching, so you get the efficiency of prepare, the safety
431 of using placeholders and the speed of bound result values in a simple call.
432
433 Example:
434
435 <pre>
436 my $st = sql_exec \my ($id, $name),
437 "select id, name from db where name like %",
438 "pfx%";
439 while ($st->fetch) {
440 print "$id $name\n";
441 }
442 </pre>
443
444 libcoro cvs-co(README) cvs-co(coro.h)
445 This C-library implements coroutines (cooperative multitasking) in a
446 portable fashion.
447
448 As long as your system implements the <tt>ucontext</tt> (Unix) or the
449 older <tt>sigaltstack</tt> interfaces it should work out of the box, with
450 minimal configuration (it consists of only a single <tt>.h</tt> and a
451 single <tt>.c</tt> file). It is known to run on a wide variety of unix
452 systems (SunOS, IRIX, GNU/Linux, HP-UX) and also on Windows, does not use
453 any assembly language and is architecture-independent.

506 Faster cpan cvs-pod(Faster.pm,)
507 A perl module that makes perl run, well, faster, using a very primitive just in time compiler.
508
509 As the name implies, using this module makes your perl program run
510 faster. Actually, much slower initially, as it compiles every function
511 to C and later to a shared object, but then you can expect a performance
512 increase by 10-50%, depending on what your program does.
513
514 liblzf cvs-co(README) cvs-co(lzf.h) dist
515 LibLZF is a very small data compression library.
516
517 It consists of only two .c and two .h files and is very easy to
518 incorporate into your own programs. The compression algorithm is very,
519 very fast, yet still written in portable C. More info and the latest
520 release can be found at the <a href="http://liblzf.plan9.de">LibLZF

537 Algorithm-FEC cpan cvs-pod(FEC.pm,) cvs-co(README.fec) cvs-co(Changes)
538 Perl module implementing forward error correction using Vandermonde matrices
539
540 AnyEvent cpan cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent.pm,) cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent/Intro.pod,Introduction/Tutorial) cvs-pod(lib/AE.pm,AE) cvs-co(Changes) cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent/Util.pm,AnyEvent::Util) cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent/Handle.pm,AnyEvent::Handle) cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent/Socket.pm,AnyEvent::Socket) cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent/DNS.pm,AnyEvent::DNS) cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent/Impl/EV.pm,AnyEvent::Impl::EV) cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent/Impl/Event.pm,AnyEvent::Impl::Event) cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent/Impl/Glib.pm,AnyEvent::Impl::Glib) cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent/Impl/Tk.pm,AnyEvent::Impl::Tk) cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent/Impl/Perl.pm,AnyEvent::Impl::Perl) cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent/Impl/Qt.pm,AnyEvent::Impl::Qt) cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent/Impl/EventLib.pm,AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib) cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent/Impl/Irssi.pm,AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi) cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent/Impl/IOAsync.pm,AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync) cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent/Impl/POE.pm,AnyEvent::Impl::POE) list(anyevent)
541 This module offers a simple API for I/O, timer, signal, child process
542 and completion events, independent of a specific event loop.
543
544 <p>This module allows module authors to use those events internally
545 without forcing users of the module to use a specific event loop, without
546 adding noticable overhead. Currently supported event loops are EV, Event,
547 Glib/Gtk2, Tk, Qt, Event::Lib, Irssi, IO::Async and POE (and thus also
548 WxWidgets and Prima). It also comes with a very fast (see benchmarks in
549 the main manual page) Pure Perl event loop and doesn't rely on XS, which
550 ensures that your program will always run even when no C-based event loop
551 is available.</p>
552
553 <p>In addition to the event core (which might be all you need), AnyEvent
554 comes with an optional, fully asynchronous, pure-perl DNS resolver
555 library supporting UDP, TCP and EDNS0, with many utility functions to
556 "just resolve" stuff without having to instantiate even a resolver object
557 (and including an equivalent of C<getaddrinfo>).</p>
558
559 <p>The AnyEvent::Socket offers utility functions to make handling TCP
560 connections (100% non-blocking, including DNS resolution, with both IPv4
561 and IPv6) and addresses as easy as possible, to the point of making IPv6
562 completely transparent.</p>
563
564 <p>Lastly, AnyEvent::Handle offers a powerful framework for asynchronous and
565 buffered protocol handling. You can push multiple read event handlers
566 to parse your protocol and start TLS/SSL negotiation transparently (and
567 fully non-blocking) at any time, in both server and client mode.</p>
568
569 AnyEvent-FastPing cpan cvs-pod(FastPing.pm,) list(anyevent)
570 This module implements a very fast and relatively flexible
571 ping (ping as in icmp echo request).
572
573 This module allows you to quickly send ipv4 and ipv6 pings at a defined
574 rate to whole address ranges. It is fully event-driven (doesn't block
575 the perl interpreter) and can easily generate hundreds of thousands of
576 pings per second. Target specification is done by specifying one or
577 more address ranges, to which pings will be distributed according to a
578 least-load principle.
579
580 A command line utility (<tt>fastping</tt>) is included.
581
582 AnyEvent-HTTP cpan cvs-pod(HTTP.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent)
583 A simple and plain event based http and https client.
584
585 This module implements a simple, stateless and non-blocking HTTP
586 client. It supports GET, POST and other request methods, cookies and more,
587 all on a very low level. It can follow redirects supports proxies and
588 automatically limits the number of connections to the values specified in
589 the RFC.
590
591 It should generally be a "good client" that is enough for most HTTP
592 tasks. Simple tasks should be simple, but complex tasks should still be
593 possible as the user retains control over request and response headers.
594
595 The caller is responsible for authentication management, cookies (if
596 the simplistic implementation in this module doesn't suffice), referer
597 and other high-level protocol details for which this module offers only
598 limited support.
599
600 AnyEvent-MP cpan cvs-pod(MP.pm,) cvs-pod(MP/Intro.pod,Introduction/Tutorial) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent)
601 This Perl module (-family) implements a simple message passing framework for Perl.
602
603 Despite its simplicity, you can securely message other processes running
604 on the same or other hosts.
605
606 For an introduction to this module family, see the Intro manual page.
607
608 AnyEvent-DBI cpan cvs-pod(DBI.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent)
609 A relatively simple wrapper around DBI to make asynchronous
610 SQL requests.
611
612 This module implements asynchronous DBI access my forking or executing
613 separate "DBI-Server" processes and sending them requests.
614
615 It means that you can run DBI requests in parallel to other tasks.
616
617 AnyEvent-HTTPD cpan-elmex git-pod(lib/AnyEvent/HTTPD.pm,) git-co(Changes) list(anyevent)
618 A simple and plain event based http web application server Perl module.
619
620 This is a very basic HTTP server that allows the user/programmer to install
621 hooks for URL paths to generate the output. It uses AnyEvent to be easily
622 embeddable into other applications. The main objective was to make it
623 easier to make simple HTTP frontends in Perl for Perl programs and Perl modules.
624
625 AnyEvent-Feed cpan-elmex git-pod(lib/AnyEvent/Feed.pm,) git-co(Changes) list(anyevent)
626 A RSS/Atom Feed aggregator.
627
628 This module uses AnyEvent::HTTP and XML::Feed to fetch and parse RSS and Atom
629 feeds. It provides aggregation (detecting of new entries) to provide an easy
630 interface for simple feed readers.
631
632 AnyEvent-Twitter cpan-elmex git-pod(lib/AnyEvent/Twitter.pm,) git-co(Changes) list(anyevent)
633 Implementation of the Twitter API for AnyEvent.

645 A Perl module which allows editing any text via an editor in a separate process.
646
647 A utility Perl module that will start a terminal/editor for you and will
648 wait non-blocking for you to finish editing that file. Very useful to embed
649 content edititing in event based programs that have a AnyEvent compatible
650 event loop.
651
652 Array-Heap cpan cvs-pod(Heap.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)

686 Coro-Mysql cpan cvs-co(Changes) cvs-pod(Mysql.pm,)
687 Lets other threads run while doing mysql requests via DBD::mysql.
688
689 This perl module patches libmysqlclient/DBD::mysql at runtime to allow
690 multiple Coro-based threads to make database accesses concurrently,
691 instead of blocking the whole process.
692
693 Crypt-Twofish2 cpan cvs-pod(Twofish2.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
694 A Perl module implementing the twofish encryption algorithm in Perl. It has

704 A thin wrapper around <a href="/pkg/libev.html">libev</a>, a
705 high-performance event loop. Intended as a faster and less buggy
706 replacement for the Event perl module. Efficiently supports very high
707 number of timers, scalable operating system APIs such as epoll, kqueue,
708 solaris's ports, inotify, eventfd, signalfd, child/pid watchers and much
709 more.
710
711 A <a href="http://lists.schmorp.de/mailman/listinfo/libev">mailing
712 list</a> for discussion and support is now available.

728 A full-featured and high-performance (<a
729 href="http://libev.schmorp.de/bench.html">see benchmark</a>) event loop that
730 is loosely modelled after libevent, but without its limitations and bugs. It is
731 used, among others, in the <a href="http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gvpe">GNU Virtual Private Ethernet</a> and
732 <a href="http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/rxvt-unicode.html">rxvt-unicode</a> packages, and in
733 the Deliantra MORPG Server and Client.
734
735 Features include child/pid watchers, periodic timers based on wallclock
736 (absolute) time (in addition to timers using relative timeouts), as well
737 as epoll/kqueue/event ports/inotify/eventfd/signalfd support, fast timer
738 management, time jump detection and correction, and ease-of-use.
739 <p />
740
741 It can be used as a libevent replacement using its emulation API or
742 directly embedded into your programs without the need for complex
743 configuration support. A full-featured and well-documented
744 <a href="EV.html">perl interface</a> is also available.

750 Event-based fully asynchronous I/O library for C (used by IO::AIO).
751 Currently in BETA!
752
753 <p>Libeio is a full-featured asynchronous I/O library
754 for C, modelled in similar style and spirit as <a
755 href="http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev.html">libev</a>. Features
756 include: asynchronous read, write, open, close, stat, unlink, fdatasync,
757 mknod, readdir etc. (basically the full POSIX API). sendfile (native on
758 solaris, linux, hp-ux, freebsd, emulated everywehere else), readahead
759 (emulated where not available).</p>
760
761 <p>It is fully event-library agnostic and can easily be integrated into any
762 event-library (or used standalone, even in polling mode). It is very
763 portable and relies only on POSIX threads.</p>
764
765 <p>Its code, documentation, integration and portability quality is
766 currently below that of libev, but should soon be ready for use in
767 production environments.</p>
768
769 libspf cvs-co(README)
770 Libspf is a C library that implements the <a
771 href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sender_Policy_Framework"> Sender
772 Policy Framework</a>. It allows software to identify and reject forged
773 envelope-from addresses, a typical nuisance in e-mail spam. SPF is
774 defined in Experimental RFC 4408.
775
776 This is not the original home of libspf, but its author (apparently)
777 has vanished for a few years now, and this place took over as a central
778 place to collect patches and possibly make releases.
779 <p />
780 James Couzens, if you read this and want to take over, feel free to
781 contact <a href="mailto:libspf@schmorp.de">me</a>, I'd be thrilled :)

786
787 EV-Glib cpan cvs-pod(Glib.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
788 This perl module embeds the default Glib mainloop into the EV event loop. This makes it
789 possible to use callbacks or modules using the Glib module (e.g. Gtk2 programs) within EV programs. Just
790 loading it suffices. See the <a href="/pkg/Glib-EV.html">Glib::EV</a> module for the reverse approach.
791
792 Glib-EV cpan cvs-pod(EV.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
793 This perl module patches the default libglib main loop context to use the EV module. This makes
794 it possible to use callbacks or modules using the EV module within Glib and Gtk2 programs. Just
795 loading it suffices. See the <a href="/pkg/EV-Glib.html">EV::Glib</a> module for the reverse approach.
796
797 Glib-Event cpan cvs-pod(Event.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
798 This perl module patches the default libglib main loop context to use the Event module. This makes
799 it possible to use callbacks or modules using the Event module within Glib and Gtk2 programs. Just
800 loading it suffices.
801
802 GPS
803 Undocumented, unreleased and unfinished-but-working interface to some GPS
804 devices in Perl.
805
806 Linux-DVB cpan cvs-pod(DVB.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
807 A perl module that implements a very direct interface to the Linux DVB
808 API. Also contains utility functions to decode SI data.
809
810 Devel-FindRef cpan cvs-pod(FindRef.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
811 A Perl module that tries to track down references to perl values. Can
812 be a great aid in debugging leak problems by showing where a value
813 is still being referenced.
814
815 BDB cpan cvs-pod(BDB.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
816 A Perl module implementing an interface to BerkeleyDB versions 4.4 and later.
817 Unlike the BerkeleyDB and DB_File modules, this module has a much more
818 C-like interface exposing all the features of the underlying library
819 and also executes all database changes asynchronously using a thread pool.
820
821 IO-AIO cpan cvs-pod(AIO.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
822 A Perl module that implements asynchronous I/O using pthreads. Apart
823 from AIO reading and writing, this module also allows asynchronous
824 <tt>stat</tt>, <tt>open</tt>, <tt>unlink</tt> (and more) calls,
825 which often are a substantial blocking problem. See also its (outdated)
826 brother <tt>Linux-AIO</tt>.
827
828 JSON-XS cpan cvs-pod(XS.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
829 JSON::XS implements JSON (http://www.json.org) for Perl. Unlike other
830 modules, its primary goal is to encode to syntactically correct JSON and
831 flag invalid JSON while decoding. It ensures round-trip integrity of
832 datatypes while being intuitive to use. Currently being the fastest of the
833 JSON encoders available for Perl, it supports a variety of format options,
834 such as single-line, ASCII-only or pretty-printed and can be tuned for
835 speed or memory usage. It comes with a wealth of documentation describing
836 usage and implementation details.
837
838 Games-Go-SimpleBoard cpan cvs-pod(SimpleBoard.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
839 A Perl module representing a go board.
840

952 fcrackzip cvs-co(fcrackzip.html)
953 <b>fcrackzip</b> is a zip password cracker, similar to fzc, zipcrack and others.
954
955 <h3>Why, the hell, another zip cracker?</h3>
956
957 Naturally, programs are born out of an actual need. The situation with
958 fcrackzip was no different... I'm not using zip very much, but recently
959 I needed a password cracker. "Sure", I thought, "there are hundreds of
960 them out there, I'll just gonna get one!". This wasn't so easy, in fact,
961 none of the zipcrackers I found were able to find the passwords, either
962 they didn't accept more than one zipfile, were awfully slow, or didn't do
963 brute force attacks (which I needed). The worst thing was: no source!.
964
965 <h3>Why is <i>no source</i> such a bad thing?</h3>
966
967 [insert big chapter about the free software spirit here ;)], anyway
968 people will never learn... You will find reasons why it's much better to
969 provide source to your programs here, at opensource.org, and here, at the
970 Free Software Foundation. Now, what are the features of fcrackzip?
971
972 <ul><li>
973 <p>FREE</p>
974
975 <p>It doesn't cost anything, it will run on many architectures, and
976 the source is freely available, so you can customise it to your
977 needs. If you make improvements, don't hesitate to mail them to me,
978 and I will include them in fcrackzip!</p>
979
980 <p>One goal of fcrackzip was to provide a free but still fast
981 zipcracker, so that other people can improve and contribute it
982 further, in an open developement style.</p>
983
984 <p>Other programs, like fzc, come not only without source, but the
985 executable is even encrypted, so improving it or customizing it is
986 difficult at best. (Maybe the programmers of other crackers don't
987 want that people see how crappy their code actually is? Nobody
988 knows for sure, but I see no other reason for this strange, but
989 common, behaviour)</p>
990
991 </li><li>
992 <p>FAST</p>
993
994 <p>On my old machine (a pentium-90), the portable C version is 12%
995 slower than fzc, the fastest cracker I could find. Small parts of
996 fcrackzip have been converted to x86 assembly, so it performs a bit
997 faster (around 4%) than fzc now, on the same hardware (note: this
998 is highly os/compiler dependent). Since the author of fzc claims
999 that it is written fully in assembler, further improvements might
1000 well be possible. Incidently, on my new P-II machine, fcrackzip is
1001 almost twice as fast as fzc ;)</p>
1002
1003 </li><li>
1004 <p>PORTABLE</p>
1005
1006 <p>fcrackzip was written in ISO-C, and should run on most platforms,
1007 even 64 bit ones (maybe after some tweaking). I'll be glad to hear
1008 about portability problems so I can fix them.</p>
1009
1010 </li><li>
1011 <p>FEATUREFUL</p>
1012
1013 <p>fcrackzip will, at some later stage at least, support many more
1014 useful operation modes than other crackers. It already supports
1015 multiple zip files with multiple files. Remember that the code is
1016 only a few hours old!</p>
1017
1018 <p>However, since version 0.2.0 fcrackzip also includes a mode to
1019 brute force cpmask'ed images, something no other program (that I
1020 know of) can do, so at least there is one feature other crackers
1021 don't have.</p>
1022
1023 <p>And you can always implement your own modes.</p>
1024
1025 </li></ul>
1026
1027 <h3>Caveat, Imperator!</h3>
1028
1029 <p>Naturally, there are also some drawbacks. At the moment, fcrackzip
1030 is a bit slower than necessary, and lacks some important (or nice)
1031 features, like automatic unzip-testing and others. On the other hand,
1032 fcrackzip-0.0.1 was hacked together in under ten hours, and you can
1033 always modify the source (and send me patches!!!) (I hope I've made it
1034 clear now ;)</p>
