278 __DATA__
279 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)
280 rxvt-unicode is a clone of the well known terminal emulator rxvt.
281
282 <p>If you have a problem, please have a look at the
283 <a href="http://cvs.schmorp.de/rxvt-unicode/doc/rxvt.7.html">FAQ</a>
284 <em>first</em>.</p>
285
286 Its main features (many of them unique) over rxvt are:
287
288 <ul>
289 <li>Stores text in Unicode (either UCS-2 or UCS-4).</li>
290 <li>Uses locale-correct input, output and width: as long as your system supports the locale,
291 rxvt-unicode will display correctly.</li>
292 <li>Daemon mode: one daemon can open multiple windows on multiple displays, which
293 improves memory usage and startup time considerably.</li>
294 <li>Embedded perl, for endless customization and improvement opportunities, such as:
295 <ul>
296 <li>Tabbed terminal support.</li>
297 <li>Regex-driven customisable selection that can properly select shell arguments, urls etc.</li>
298 <li>Selection-transformation and option popup menus.</li>
299 <li>Automatically transforming the selection once made.</li>
300 <li>Incremental scrollback buffer search.</li>
301 <li>Automatic URL-underlining and launching.</li>
302 <li>Remote pastebin, digital clock, block graphics to ascii filter and
303 whatever you like to implement for yourself.</li>
304 </ul>
305 </li>
306 <li>Crash-free. At least I try, but rxvt-unicode certainly crashes much less often than
307 rxvt and its many clones, and reproducible bugs get fixed immediately.</li>
308 <li>Completely flicker-free.</li>
309 <li>Re-wraps long lines instead of splitting or cutting them on resizes.</li>
310 <li>Full combining character support (unlike xterm :).</li>
311 <li>Multiple fonts supported at the same time: No need to choose between
312 nice japanese and ugly latin, or no japanese and nice latin characters :).</li>
313 <li>Supports Xft and core fonts in any combination.</li>
314 <li>Can easily be embedded into other applications.</li>
315 <li>All documentation accessible through manpages.</li>
316 <li>Locale-independent XIM support.</li>
317 <li>Many small improvements, such as improved and corrected terminfo, improved secondary screen modes,
318 italic and bold font support, tinting and shading.</li>
319 <li>Encapsulation of privileged operations in a separate process (improves security).</li>
320 <li>Optimised for local <i>and</i> remote connections.</li>
321 </ul>
322
323 <br />
324 And its main <em>missing</em> features (which users request but are not (yet?) implemented) are:
325
326 <ul>
327 <li>Complex script support, such as arabic or tibetian - more info is needed. (use mlterm)</li>
328 <li>Right-to-Left rendering - more info is needed. (use mlterm)</li>
329 <li>IIIMF (Intranet/Internet Input Method Framework) support. (use scim)</li>
330 </ul>
331
332 <br />
333
334 There is an IRC channel for discussion on <a
335 href='irc://irc.freenode.net/rxvt-unicode'><tt>irc.freenode.net
336 #rxvt-unicode</tt></a>.
337
338 libptytty dist list(rxvt-unicode) cvs-pod(doc/libptytty.3.pod) cvs-co(Changes)
339 libptytty is an offspring of rxvt-unicode that handles pty/tty/utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling
340 in mostly OS-independent ways, so it's less of a hassle for you :)
341
342 gtkbfc cvs-pod(README)
343 Gtk+ bash file chooser replacement.
344
345 <b>gtkbfc</b> is a hack that replaces the dreaded, slow and hard-to-use GTK+
346 file chooser by a rxvt-unicode window with a little script that lets you use
347 readline tab-completion to enter filenames.
348
349 Again, its a dire hack and will not work with all programs. It does work
350 for gimp, firefox, gedit at least, though.
351
352 Async-Interrupt cpan cvs-pod(Interrupt.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent)
353 Allow C/XS libraries to interrupt perl asynchronously.
354
355 This is a module implementing a rarely-needed, very advanced technique
356 to interrupt a running perl interpreter from another thread, or similar,
357 context, at very low overhead.
358
359 CV cpan cvs-pod(bin/cv,) cvs-co(Changes)
360 Gtk2::CV is a perl module that implements an image viewer.
361
362 It comes with its own demo app, named <tt>cv</tt>, which is loosely
363 modeled after the classic <tt>xv</tt>, although it displays images much
364 faster than the great original. Stable releases are also found on CPAN.
365
366 kgsueme cpan list(kgsueme) cvs-co(Changes)
367 This perl module is about reverse engineering the
368 <a href="http://cvs.schmorp.de/kgsueme/doc/protocol.html">protocol</a>
369 (<a href="http://cvs.schmorp.de/kgsueme/doc/protocol.xml">xml source</a>)
370 of the popular <a href="http://kgs.kiseido.com">Kiseido Go Server</a>.
371
372 It features a sample Gtk+2 client (<a
373 href="http://kgsueme.schmorp.de/screenshot.jpg">screenshot</a>), a gtp
374 and a igs interface. It mostly focuses on documenting the protocol and
375 delivering a stable reference implementation which makes it easy to write
376 your own clients, bots and so on. It also contains Gtk2 modules for
377 KGS-independent rendering of beautiful Go boards. For a introduction to
378 the game of go, look <a href="http://playgo.to/interactive/">here</a>.
379
380 Net-Knuddels cvs-pod(Net/Knuddels.pm,)
381 This perl module provides an API for group communications using the
382 <a href="http://www.knuddels.de/">www.knuddels.de</a> protocol. It is outdated
383 and only provided as reference.
384
385 This module implements the knuddels.de chat protocol. Since it was created
386 the protocol changed in unknown ways, so this module no longer works. It is
387 provided as reference, though, in case the protocol didn't change much,
388 so one can learn about the protocol.
389 It could be used to write Knuddels clients, bots and even servers
390 (although the latter doesn't make much sense, the protocol is rather
391 ugly. If you want to implement your own group communication server, use
392 IRC instead).
393
394 AnyEvent-IRC cpan-elmex git-pod(lib/AnyEvent/IRC.pm,) git-co(Changes) git-co(samples/anyeventirccl) git-co(samples/anyeventirc) list(anyevent)
395 This module provides an alternative to the Net-IRC and Net-IRC2
396 modules. Its design rationale is offering a 100% non-blocking
397 callback-based interface, RFC-compliant parsing and a lightweight
398 approach to modularity and reusability.
399
400 Guard cpan cvs-pod(Guard.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
401 This small module implements scope and object guards, that is, code blocks
402 that are executed when a scope is being exited (or an object is destroyed).
403
404 Much effort was invested into these guards behaving "sensibly" in the
405 presence of thrown exceptions, errors and other adverse conditions, as
406 well as into good performance.
407
408 Net-IRC-Server cvs-pod(Net/IRC/Server.pm,)
409 This module provides a simple API for handling the IRC Protocol
410 aiming at implementing lightweight IRC-Servers.
411
412 PApp-SQL cpan cvs-pod(SQL.pm,)
413 Absolutely easy yet fast and powerful SQL access.
414
415 This module wraps the DBI prepare/bind/execute calls into a single "sql_exec" call,
416 complete with statement caching, so you get the efficiency of prepare, the safety
417 of using placeholders and the speed of bound result values in a simple call.
418
419 Example:
420
421 <pre>
422 my $st = sql_exec \my ($id, $name),
423 "select id, name from db where name like %",
424 "pfx%";
425 while ($st->fetch) {
426 print "$id $name\n";
427 }
428 </pre>
429
430 libcoro cvs-co(README) cvs-co(coro.h)
431 This C-library implements coroutines (cooperative multitasking) in a
432 portable fashion.
433
434 As long as your system implements the <tt>ucontext</tt> (Unix) or the
435 older <tt>sigaltstack</tt> interfaces it should work out of the box, with
436 minimal configuration (it consists of only a single <tt>.h</tt> and a
437 single <tt>.c</tt> file). It is known to run on a wide variety of unix
438 systems (SunOS, IRIX, GNU/Linux, HP-UX) and also on Windows, does not use
439 any assembly language and is architecture-independent.
440

458 and leveraging only OpenGL for display and thus being easily portable.

490 be of some use.
491
492 Faster cpan cvs-pod(Faster.pm,)
493 A perl module that makes perl run, well, faster, using a very primitive just in time compiler.
494
495 As the name implies, using this module makes your perl program run
496 faster. Actually, much slower initially, as it compiles every function
497 to C and later to a shared object, but then you can expect a performance
498 increase by 10-50%, depending on what your program does.
499
500 liblzf cvs-co(README) cvs-co(lzf.h) dist
501 LibLZF is a very small data compression library.
502
503 It consists of only two .c and two .h files and is very easy to
504 incorporate into your own programs. The compression algorithm is very,
505 very fast, yet still written in portable C. More info and the latest
506 release can be found at the <a href="http://liblzf.plan9.de">LibLZF
507 Homepage</a>.

522
523 Algorithm-FEC cpan cvs-pod(FEC.pm,) cvs-co(README.fec) cvs-co(Changes)
524 Perl module implementing forward error correction using Vandermonde matrices
525
526 AnyEvent cpan cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent.pm,) cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent/Intro.pod,Introduction/Tutorial) 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/IOAsync.pm,AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync) cvs-pod(lib/AnyEvent/Impl/POE.pm,AnyEvent::Impl::POE) list(anyevent)
527 This module offers a simple API for I/O, timer, signal, child process
528 and completion events, independent of a specific event loop.
529
530 <p>This module allows module authors to use those events internally
531 without forcing users of the module to use a specific event loop, without
532 adding noticable overhead. Currently supported event loops are EV, Event,
533 Glib/Gtk2, Tk, Qt, Event::Lib, IO::Async and POE (and thus also WxWidgets
534 and Prima). It also comes with a very fast (see benchmarks in the main
535 manual page) Pure Perl event loop and doesn't rely on XS, which ensures
536 that your program will always run even when no C-based event loop is
537 available.</p>
538
539 <p>In addition to the event core (which might be all you need), AnyEvent
540 comes with an optional, fully asynchronous, pure-perl DNS resolver
541 library supporting UDP, TCP and EDNS0, with many utility functions to
542 "just resolve" stuff without having to instantiate even a resolver object
543 (and including an equivalent of C<getaddrinfo>).</p>
544
545 <p>The AnyEvent::Socket offers utility functions to make handling TCP
546 connections (100% non-blocking, including DNS resolution, with both IPv4
547 and IPv6) and addresses as easy as possible, to the point of making IPv6
548 completely transparent.</p>
549
550 <p>Lastly, AnyEvent::Handle offers a powerful framework for asynchronous and
551 buffered protocol handling. You can push multiple read event handlers
552 to parse your protocol and start TLS/SSL negotiation transparently (and
553 fully non-blocking) at any time, in both server and client mode.</p>
554
555 AnyEvent-FastPing cpan cvs-pod(FastPing.pm,) list(anyevent)
556 This module implements a very fast and relatively flexible
557 ping (ping as in icmp echo request).
558
559 This module allows you to quickly send ipv4 and ipv6 pings at a defined
560 rate to whole address ranges. It is fully event-driven (doesn't block
561 the perl interpreter) and can easily generate hundreds of thousands of
562 pings per second. Target specification is done by specifying one or
563 more address ranges, to which pings will be distributed according to a
564 least-load principle.
565
566 A command line utility (<tt>fastping</tt>) is included.
567
568 AnyEvent-HTTP cpan cvs-pod(HTTP.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent)
569 A simple and plain event based http and https client.
570
571 This module implements a simple, stateless and non-blocking HTTP
572 client. It supports GET, POST and other request methods, cookies and more,
573 all on a very low level. It can follow redirects supports proxies and
574 automatically limits the number of connections to the values specified in
575 the RFC.
576
577 It should generally be a "good client" that is enough for most HTTP
578 tasks. Simple tasks should be simple, but complex tasks should still be
579 possible as the user retains control over request and response headers.
580
581 The caller is responsible for authentication management, cookies (if
582 the simplistic implementation in this module doesn't suffice), referer
583 and other high-level protocol details for which this module offers only
584 limited support.
585
586 AnyEvent-DBI cpan cvs-pod(DBI.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(anyevent)
587 A relatively simple wrapper around DBI to make asynchronous
588 SQL requests.
589
590 This module implements asynchronous DBI access my forking or executing
591 separate "DBI-Server" processes and sending them requests.
592
593 It means that you can run DBI requests in parallel to other tasks.
594
595 AnyEvent-HTTPD cpan-elmex git-pod(lib/AnyEvent/HTTPD.pm,) git-co(Changes) list(anyevent)
596 A simple and plain event based http web application server Perl module.
597
598 This is a very basic HTTP server that allows the user/programmer to install
599 hooks for URL paths to generate the output. It uses AnyEvent to be easily
600 embeddable into other applications. The main objective was to make it
601 easier to make simple HTTP frontends in Perl for Perl programs and Perl modules.
602
603 AnyEvent-IGS cpan-elmex git-pod(lib/AnyEvent/IGS.pm,) git-co(Changes) list(anyevent)
604 A Perl module that interfaces to the International Go Server.
605
606 This module is an Anyevent-based interface to the International Go Server
607 protocol.
608
609 AnyEvent-EditText cpan-elmex git-pod(lib/AnyEvent/EditText.pm,) git-co(Changes) list(anyevent)
610 A Perl module which allows editing any text via an editor in a separate process.
611
612 A utility Perl module that will start a terminal/editor for you and will
613 wait non-blocking for you to finish editing that file. Very useful to embed
614 content edititing in event based programs that have a AnyEvent compatible
615 event loop.
616
617 Array-Heap cpan cvs-pod(Heap.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
618 A Perl module that implements C++ STL-like binary heap operations.

633
634 Convert-UUlib cpan cvs-pod(UUlib.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
635 Perl interface to the uulib library (a.k.a. uudeview/uuenview), which
636 allows easy decoding of multipart mime, uuencode and a whole lot of
637 differently encoded messages. You basically throw files at it, and
638 it extracts the files in them. This module is used by the popular <a
639 href="www.amavis.org">amavis virus scanner</a>.
640
641 Coro cpan cvs-co(Changes) cvs-pod(Coro.pm,) cvs-pod(Coro/AIO.pm,Coro::AIO) cvs-pod(Coro/AnyEvent.pm,Coro::AnyEvent) cvs-pod(Coro/BDB.pm,Coro::BDB) cvs-pod(Coro/Channel.pm,Coro::Channel) cvs-pod(Coro/Debug.pm,Coro::Debug) cvs-pod(Coro/EV.pm,Coro::EV) cvs-pod(Coro/Event.pm,Coro::Event) cvs-pod(Coro/Handle.pm,Coro::Handle) cvs-pod(Coro/LWP.pm,Coro::LWP) cvs-pod(Coro/MakeMaker.pm,Coro::MakeMaker) cvs-pod(Coro/RWLock.pm,Coro::RWLock) cvs-pod(Coro/Select.pm,Coro::Select) cvs-pod(Coro/Semaphore.pm,Coro::Semaphore) cvs-pod(Coro/SemaphoreSet.pm,Coro::SemaphoreSet) cvs-pod(Coro/Signal.pm,Coro::Signal) cvs-pod(Coro/Socket.pm,Coro::Socket) cvs-pod(Coro/Specific.pm,Coro::Specific) cvs-pod(Coro/State.pm,Coro::State) cvs-pod(Coro/Storable.pm,Coro::Storable) cvs-pod(Coro/Timer.pm,Coro::Timer) cvs-pod(Coro/Util.pm,Coro::Util) list(anyevent)
642 A large Perl module family that implements cooperative multitasking in
643 Perl. It supports filehandle and event abstraction and also implements
644 continuations as well as the necessary directives to implement a slightly
645 limited call/cc in Perl.
646
647 Coro-Mysql cpan cvs-co(Changes) cvs-pod(Mysql.pm,)
648 Lets other threads run while doing mysql requests via DBD::mysql.
649
650 This perl module patches libmysqlclient/DBD::mysql at runtime to allow
651 multiple Coro-based threads to make database accesses concurrently,
652 instead of blocking the whole process.
653
654 Crypt-Twofish2 cpan cvs-pod(Twofish2.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
655 A Perl module implementing the twofish encryption algorithm in Perl. It has
656 mostly been superceded by the Crypt::Twofish module. However, it supports
657 an easy and fast CBC mode natively.
658

665 A thin wrapper around <a href="/pkg/libev.html">libev</a>, a
666 high-performance event loop. Intended as a faster and less buggy
667 replacement for the Event perl module. Efficiently supports very high
668 number of timers, scalable operating system APIs such as epoll, kqueue,
669 solaris's ports, inotify, eventfd, signalfd, child/pid watchers and much
670 more.
671
672 A <a href="http://lists.schmorp.de/mailman/listinfo/libev">mailing
673 list</a> for discussion and support is now available.

689 A full-featured and high-performance (<a
690 href="http://libev.schmorp.de/bench.html">see benchmark</a>) event loop that
691 is loosely modelled after libevent, but without its limitations and bugs. It is
692 used, among others, in the <a href="http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gvpe">GNU Virtual Private Ethernet</a> and
693 <a href="http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/rxvt-unicode.html">rxvt-unicode</a> packages, and in
694 the Deliantra MORPG Server and Client.
695
696 Features include child/pid watchers, periodic timers based on wallclock
697 (absolute) time (in addition to timers using relative timeouts), as well
698 as epoll/kqueue/event ports/inotify/eventfd/signalfd support, fast timer
699 management, time jump detection and correction, and ease-of-use.
700 <p />
701
702 It can be used as a libevent replacement using its emulation API or
703 directly embedded into your programs without the need for complex
704 configuration support. A full-featured and well-documented
705 <a href="EV.html">perl interface</a> is also available.

712 Currently in BETA!
713
714 <p>Libeio is a full-featured asynchronous I/O library
715 for C, modelled in similar style and spirit as <a
716 href="http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev.html">libev</a>. Features
717 include: asynchronous read, write, open, close, stat, unlink, fdatasync,
718 mknod, readdir etc. (basically the full POSIX API). sendfile (native on
719 solaris, linux, hp-ux, freebsd, emulated everywehere else), readahead
720 (emulated where not available).</p>
721
722 <p>It is fully event-library agnostic and can easily be integrated into any
723 event-library (or used standalone, even in polling mode). It is very
724 portable and relies only on POSIX threads.</p>
725
726 <p>Its code, documentation, integration and portability quality is
727 currently below that of libev, but should soon be ready for use in
728 production environments.</p>
729
730 libspf cvs-co(README)
731 Libspf is a C library that implements the <a
732 href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sender_Policy_Framework"> Sender
733 Policy Framework</a>. It allows software to identify and reject forged
734 envelope-from addresses, a typical nuisance in e-mail spam. SPF is
735 defined in Experimental RFC 4408.
736
737 This is not the original home of libspf, but its author (apparently)
738 has vanished for a few years now, and this place took over as a central
739 place to collect patches and possibly make releases.
740 <p />
741 James Couzens, if you read this and want to take over, feel free to
742 contact <a href="mailto:libspf@schmorp.de">me</a>, I'd be thrilled :)

747
748 EV-Glib cpan cvs-pod(Glib.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
749 This perl module embeds the default Glib mainloop into the EV event loop. This makes it
750 possible to use callbacks or modules using the Glib module (e.g. Gtk2 programs) within EV programs. Just
751 loading it suffices. See the <a href="/pkg/Glib-EV.html">Glib::EV</a> module for the reverse approach.
752
753 Glib-EV cpan cvs-pod(EV.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
754 This perl module patches the default libglib main loop context to use the EV module. This makes
755 it possible to use callbacks or modules using the EV module within Glib and Gtk2 programs. Just
756 loading it suffices. See the <a href="/pkg/EV-Glib.html">EV::Glib</a> module for the reverse approach.
757
758 Glib-Event cpan cvs-pod(Event.pm,) cvs-co(Changes) list(libev)
759 This perl module patches the default libglib main loop context to use the Event module. This makes
760 it possible to use callbacks or modules using the Event module within Glib and Gtk2 programs. Just
761 loading it suffices.

774 is still being referenced.
775
776 BDB cpan cvs-pod(BDB.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
777 A Perl module implementing an interface to BerkeleyDB versions 4.4 and later.
778 Unlike the BerkeleyDB and DB_File modules, this module has a much more
779 C-like interface exposing all the features of the underlying library

781
782 IO-AIO cpan cvs-pod(AIO.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
783 A Perl module that implements asynchronous I/O using pthreads. Apart
784 from AIO reading and writing, this module also allows asynchronous
785 <tt>stat</tt>, <tt>open</tt>, <tt>unlink</tt> (and more) calls,
786 which often are a substantial blocking problem. See also its (outdated)
787 brother <tt>Linux-AIO</tt>.
788
789 JSON-XS cpan cvs-pod(XS.pm,) cvs-co(Changes)
790 JSON::XS implements JSON (http://www.json.org) for Perl. Unlike other
791 modules, its primary goal is to encode to syntactically correct JSON and
792 flag invalid JSON while decoding. It ensures round-trip integrity of
793 datatypes while being intuitive to use. Currently being the fastest of the
794 JSON encoders available for Perl, it supports a variety of format options,
795 such as single-line, ASCII-only or pretty-printed and can be tuned for
796 speed or memory usage. It comes with a wealth of documentation describing
797 usage and implementation details.
798

866 database.
867
868 basex
869 Very old, very portable ANSI-C program that implements something

881
882 wvsniff
883 Undocumented but nicely working wavelan sniffer that I wrote for use
884 with my cisco aironet card. If you get it working, praise yourself.

903 which new Perl classes can inherit. It's mainly used by AnyEvent::XMPP.
904
905 psycpp git
906 A project that was aimed to implement a PSYC server in C++.
907
908 This is a mostly abandoned project at the moment, however, the repository
909 contains interesting C++ code that might be useful to someone, especially
910 the C++ JSON implementation might be of interest. The project is mostly
911 dead at the moment though...

922 fcrackzip cvs-co(fcrackzip.html)
923 <b>fcrackzip</b> is a zip password cracker, similar to fzc, zipcrack and others.
924
925 <h3>Why, the hell, another zip cracker?</h3>
926
927 Naturally, programs are born out of an actual need. The situation with
928 fcrackzip was no different... I'm not using zip very much, but recently
929 I needed a password cracker. "Sure", I thought, "there are hundreds of
930 them out there, I'll just gonna get one!". This wasn't so easy, in fact,
931 none of the zipcrackers I found were able to find the passwords, either
932 they didn't accept more than one zipfile, were awfully slow, or didn't do
933 brute force attacks (which I needed). The worst thing was: no source!.
934
935 <h3>Why is <i>no source</i> such a bad thing?</h3>
936
937 [insert big chapter about the free software spirit here ;)], anyway
938 people will never learn... You will find reasons why it's much better to
939 provide source to your programs here, at opensource.org, and here, at the
940 Free Software Foundation. Now, what are the features of fcrackzip?
941
942 <ul><li>
943 <p>FREE</p>
944
945 <p>It doesn't cost anything, it will run on many architectures, and
946 the source is freely available, so you can customise it to your
947 needs. If you make improvements, don't hesitate to mail them to me,
948 and I will include them in fcrackzip!</p>
949
950 <p>One goal of fcrackzip was to provide a free but still fast
951 zipcracker, so that other people can improve and contribute it
952 further, in an open developement style.</p>
953
954 <p>Other programs, like fzc, come not only without source, but the
955 executable is even encrypted, so improving it or customizing it is
956 difficult at best. (Maybe the programmers of other crackers don't
957 want that people see how crappy their code actually is? Nobody
958 knows for sure, but I see no other reason for this strange, but
959 common, behaviour)</p>
960
961 </li><li>
962 <p>FAST</p>
963
964 <p>On my old machine (a pentium-90), the portable C version is 12%
965 slower than fzc, the fastest cracker I could find. Small parts of
966 fcrackzip have been converted to x86 assembly, so it performs a bit
967 faster (around 4%) than fzc now, on the same hardware (note: this
968 is highly os/compiler dependent). Since the author of fzc claims
969 that it is written fully in assembler, further improvements might
970 well be possible. Incidently, on my new P-II machine, fcrackzip is
971 almost twice as fast as fzc ;)</p>
972
973 </li><li>
974 <p>PORTABLE</p>
975
976 <p>fcrackzip was written in ISO-C, and should run on most platforms,
977 even 64 bit ones (maybe after some tweaking). I'll be glad to hear
978 about portability problems so I can fix them.</p>
979
980 </li><li>
981 <p>FEATUREFUL</p>
982
983 <p>fcrackzip will, at some later stage at least, support many more
984 useful operation modes than other crackers. It already supports
985 multiple zip files with multiple files. Remember that the code is
986 only a few hours old!</p>
987
988 <p>However, since version 0.2.0 fcrackzip also includes a mode to
989 brute force cpmask'ed images, something no other program (that I
990 know of) can do, so at least there is one feature other crackers
991 don't have.</p>
992
993 <p>And you can always implement your own modes.</p>
994
995 </li></ul>
996
997 <h3>Caveat, Imperator!</h3>
998
999 <p>Naturally, there are also some drawbacks. At the moment, fcrackzip
1000 is a bit slower than necessary, and lacks some important (or nice)
1001 features, like automatic unzip-testing and others. On the other hand,
1002 fcrackzip-0.0.1 was hacked together in under ten hours, and you can
1003 always modify the source (and send me patches!!!) (I hope I've made it
1004 clear now ;)</p>

1007 lsys is a program that interprets lindenmeyer-systems.
1008
1009 <p>lsys is a full-featured program that understands most of the syntax
1010 of the original l-systems language, which is far more complex and
1011 powerful than most available l-system interpreters.</p>
