Licence: Free for non-profit use (See COPYING file into the distribution)
VAX: Not Available - Alpha: DEC C 6.2, VMS 7.2-1 - MMOV 2.2

Mpeg audio layer 1, 2 and 3 real-time player. It's a near fully rewritten version based on the mpegaudio (FHG-version) package.The DCT algorithm in the synthesis filter is a rewritten version of the DCT first seen in the maplay package, which was written by Tobias Bading (bading@cs.tu-berlin.de).The rewrite was neccassary, because the GPL may not allow this copyright mix. The mpegaudio package was written by various people from the MPEG/audio software simulation group. The maplay is under GPL .. You can find the original source code and the mpegaudio package on: ftp.tnt.uni-hannover.de

It is only available with OpenVMS Alpha systems with a 16 bits sound card and MMOV (MultiMedia services for OpenVMS) installed (Alphastations 200, 250, 255, 500, 600).

The support of Compaq Ensoniq PCIAudio cards (PWS, XP900, DS10, DS20) is now available with MMOV 2.2 and they sound great.

   The JasPer software is a collection of utilities for image coding.
   Arguably, the most useful utility in the JasPer suite is the
   transcoder program. This particular program accepts image data in one
   format and generates image data in another format. The JasPer software
   can handle image data in a number of popular formats, including JPEG
   2000, PNM/PGM/PPM, Windows BMP, and Sun Rasterfile. Since the
   JPEG-2000 format is supported, the transcoder program can be used as a
   JPEG-2000 encoder or decoder.

JPEG 6B CROP (30-SEP-2000)

JPEG library - Author: The Independent JPEG Group
Licence: free usage and distribution. See README. file
VAX: DEC C 5.2, VMS 6.2 - Alpha: DEC C 5.2, VMS 6.2

This package contains C software to implement JPEG image compression and decompression. JPEG (pronounced "jay-peg") is a standardized compression method for full-color and gray-scale images. JPEG is intended for compressing "real-world" scenes; line drawings, cartoons and other non-realistic images are not its strong suit. JPEG is lossy, meaning that the output image is not exactly identical to the input image. Hence you must not use JPEG if you have to have identical output bits. However, on typical photographic images, very good compression levels can be obtained with no visible change, and remarkably high compression levels are possible if you can tolerate a low-quality image.

Version with enhanced Jpegtran tool allowing loseless rotation and cropping of Jpeg images).

TIMIDITY 0.2iM (24-FEB-2000)

Midi Player - Author: Tuukka Toivonen toivonen@clinet.fi
Licence: Gnu General Public Licence
VAX: DEC C 5.2, VMS 7.0 - Alpha: DEC C 5.2, VMS 6.2 - AMD audio or MMOV 2.0

NEW: Motif Interface on the original version of Timidity

TiMidity is a MIDI to WAVE converter that uses Gravis Ultrasound(*)-compatible patch files to generate digital audio data from General MIDI files. The audio data can be played through any sound device or stored on disk. On a fast machine, music can be played in real time.

You need MMOV 2.0 (multimedia Services for OpenVMS V 2.0) to play midi files in real time on good contidions on your Alphastation (and SYSNAM privileges to connect to Multimedia server; timidity is linked /notraceback to allow image installation with SYSNAM privilege).

Modified by Arne Bergseth (30 January 2000):
Modified AMD audio output to allow both buffers to be queued at the same time. Included Motif user interface in the program. Introduced mailbox I/O to communicate with Motif user interface. Minor changes to avoid compiler warnings.

Routines changed: AMD_A.C COMMON.C COMMON.H CONFIG.H GETOPT.C MOTIF.H MOTIF_C.C MOTIF_I.C MOTIF_I.C MOTIF_M.C RESAMPLE.C TIMIDITY.C WAVE_A.C

P. Moreau (23 February 2000):
New COMPILE_MMOV_MOTIF.COM to build on alpha with MMOV and Motif interface; Works great.

Added object and executables for Alpha VMS 6.2 with MMOV & Motif

Arne exes for VMS 7.x VAx & Alpha AMD are also here.

X11PERF 1.5 (2-FEB-2000)

X11 server performance test - Authors: Joel McCormack, Phil Karlton

Licence: free usage and distribution - See Copyright notice in source files
VAX: DEC C 5.2, VMS 6.2 - Alpha, DEC C 5.2, VMS 6.2 - Motif 1.2-4

The x11perf program runs one or more performance tests and reports timings
of the operations.
Many graphics benchmarks assume that the graphics device is used to display the
output of a single fancy graphics application, and that the user gets his work
done on some other device, like a terminal.  Such benchmarks usually measure
drawing speed for lines, polygons, text, etc.

Port done by David Mathog for VMS 7.2-1 motif 1.2-5, retro-ported for VMS 6.2 and Motif 1.2-4

XMBASE-GROK 1.4.3 (26-JAN-2000)

Graphical Resource Organizer Kit - Author: Thomas Driemeyer thomas@bitrot.de
Licence: Free usage and distribution (read README. file for details)
VAX: VMS 6.2, DEC C 5.2 - Alpha: VMS 6.2, DEC C 5.2

xmbase-grok, formerly just called "grok", is a simple database manager
and UI builder that can:

  *  keep phone and address lists (like a rolodex)
  *  store phone call logs
  *  keep todo lists
  *  manage any other database after simple GUI-driven customization
  *  customized data export, HTML export built in
  *  basic chart support

The VMS port has some limitations: sections and procedural databases are not available yet. However, in the current state grok is already very useful. Don't bother the author if you have questions about the VMS port.

    t1lib is a library distributed under the GNU General Public Library
    License for generating character- and string-glyphs from Adobe Type 1
    fonts under UNIX. t1lib uses most of the code of the X11 rasterizer
    donated by IBM to the X11-project. But some disadvantages of the
    rasterizer being included in X11 have been eliminated.
   The original distribution already contains support for OpenVMS. The
   version from this server contains one small fix to enable the use of
   absolute pathnames for font files on OpenVMS. (Martin P.J. Zinser)

   ImageMagick TM, version 5.1.0, is a robust collection of tools
   and libraries to read, write, and manipulate an image in any of
   the more popular image formats including GIF, JPEG, PNG, PDF,
   and Photo CD. With ImageMagick you can create GIFs dynamically
   making it suitable for Web applications.

   You can also resize, rotate, sharpen, color reduce, or add
   special effects to an image and save your completed work in the
   same or differing image format.

   You can access ImageMagick functions directly from the command
   line using the ImageMagick tools convert, mogrify, montage,
   combine, or identify. Use the display program to interactively
   manipulate your images or animate an image sequence from a
   graphical panel. Finally you have access to the various image
   processing methods directly from your favorite application
   development environment: Perl, C++, C, or Java. These programs
   and much more are explained by following the links from this
   page or read the ImageMagick Users Guide.
