Packaged Software
Free Software
In the course of our operations, or just as samples, we produce a few pieces of
software here and there as open source, free-as-in-beer software. This is
the list of all those items:
|
Title |
Description |
|
Arkane.Xkeys
|
A .NET library to drive the X-keys range of programmable keypads and other
devices from P. I. Engineering. |
|
Exim for OS/2
|
A port of the Exim mail transfer agent, version 1.89, to OS/2. Obsolete
and no longer supported or under active development. |
|
Formmail for .NET |
A formmail-compatible web form processing script for ASP.NET. |
|
Mouse Jiggler |
A very simple piece
of software whose sole function is to "fake" mouse input to Windows, and jiggle
the mouse pointer back and forth.
Useful for avoiding screensavers or other things triggered by idle detection
that, for whatever reason, you can't turn off any other way; or as a quick way
to stop a screensaver activating during an installation or when monitoring a
long operation without actually having to muck about with the screensaver
settings.

Port
I/O under OS/2 |
Not an actual library, but rather just some code I have remaining from my OS/2
2.x programming days that allows one to perform port I/O without actually having
to write a device driver, by taking advantage of the TESTCFG.SYS device driver
supplied with the system. Probably of minimal use to anyone these days, but for
what it's worth, here it is. Unsupported. |
Web Services
As a service (and example), we make some simple SOAP web services available for
public use. These services are as follows:
|
Title |
Description |
|
Bit
|
A web service which behaves like a
Tron-style bit - it answers
your questions, yes, or no. (Fairly pointless, although note that it doesn't
strictly alternate - its responses will vary depending on who else has been
talking to the bit recently. Available in both string and boolean flavours.) |
|
BOFH Excuses
|
A web service which returns excuses from the
Bastard Operator from Hell's excuse calendar. The particular excuses
provided by this service are taken from Jeff Ballard's BOFH excuse server,
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ballard/bofh/. |
|
.Sig Quotes
|
A web service which returns sample quotations from
Alistair Young's
personal stock of Usenet .sig quotes. From back in the day when Usenet was
worth reading, that is. |
