My Software Projects

I'm afraid this page has gotten very out of date. Sorry.

Packages

• taboo -- Object system for Scheme, based on STklos and tinyCLOS.
• xextra -- Scheme library containing several add-ons to Xlib. One procedure allows multiplexed input from several X11 displays and consoles. An "imagepair" datatype keeps an image synchronized in both client and server, using shared memory if possible.
• ljwm -- Yet another simple window manager
• ssc -- Portfolio manager
• swt -- 3-D Doom-style walk-through of a Han Dynasty Chinese tomb.
• qfetch -- Fetch stock quotes from various web servers.
• bigloo I am hosting pre-release versions of Manuel Serrano's Bigloo scheme compiler with various patches (mostly my own.) applied.
• msnd -- You need this package to get a Turtle Beach Fiji or Pinnacle sound card to work. This is the last version of the Turtle Beach Multisound drivers, A.K.A pinlinux. Slightly newer than the version distributed with the kernel, the author (Andrew Veliath) seems to have dropped out of sight. You probably only need to install the msnd-ucode subpackage and update your /etc/conf.modules file with something like this:

  alias sound msnd_pinnacle
  options msnd_pinnacle cfg=0x250 io=0x210 irq=7 mem=0x0d8000

• newmon -- New version of the unix profil library that allows you to omit selected procedures from the call graph. This is vital if you are profiling a program in a language that uses a dispatching procedure to handle every function call. When the dispatch function calls a procedure that call is allocated to whatever procedure called the dispatching function.
• makeindex -- Create an HTML index of photographs.
• dismal -- The Dismal spreadsheet for emacs - DIS Mode Ain't Lotus.

Patches

• emacs-fixes -- I provide patches for several emacs bugs, specifically:
  • ange-ftp.el doesn't properly escape filenames containing spaces. This patch remedies the problem.
  • gnus-uu.el compensates for the problem in ange-ftp by converting any space in filenames into underscores. This patch disables such conversions.
  • Updates to scheme.el mode to properly indent the when and define-macro constructs.
  The RPM installs updated versions into the site-lisp directory.
• Patched Linux kernel for IBM Thinkpad 560. Enables an APM bug work-around.
• viewfax -- fax viewer with a `print' key.
• sc -- Spreadsheet program with topological sorting added.
• Crystal Space -- patches to cache rasterized images for quicker startup.

RPMs

• intlfonts - My RPM of the GNU international font collection.
• CJK - My RPM of a package that supports Chinese/Japanese/Korean text in LaTeX.
• bigloo - My RPM of the Bigloo Scheme compiler.
