Programs

Programming is something I enjoy doing, and I have various programs from different times and for a few different operating systems, but most of them are not packaged or documented in an organized way. This would, I'm afraid, render as virtually useless to someone else some of the very programs that are of the most use to me. That leaves me wondering which programs I should make available. I have a few things available for BeOS on BeBits, so those should be presentable enough to present here.

Most of the Python programs list under BeOS will also work under Linux with very little modification. For some all that is needed is to change #!/bin/env python to #!/bin/usr/env python on the first line.

BeOS


Requires Title Description
bin src both Python sequence Program I threw together to renumber a sequence of numbered files from a digital camera. Numbers are padded with zeros to make sure ordering makes sense in directory listings. Optional prefix and suffix may be specified.
bin src both Python xpm2bin Converts graphics from xpm (X windows pixmap) to the format used by the BeOS version of XGalaga.
bin src both Python Launch Startup Launches programs in a startup folder.
bin src both Dvorak jas Dvorak keymap with some problems fixed on the numeric keypad.
bin src both ssh I just compiled this for beos a while back when I was looking for an ssh client. There are other version available on BeBits, but this has worked for me, so I haven't bothered to check them out.

Windows

Requires Title Description
bin src both TuilBar A Launch bar 7 icons long that may either float or snap to any screen corner. Larger view shows a run command line below the launch icons.
