homepage: http://freshmeat.net/projects/xprintingpanel/homepage/
download: http://freshmeat.net/projects/xprintingpanel/download/
changelog: http://freshmeat.net/projects/xprintingpanel/changelog/

description:
The X Printing Panel (XPP) is a tool for choosing the desired printer
out of a list of all printers available under CUPS and for setting
printer options by an easy-to-use GUI. One simply calls the program
instead of the usual utilities (lpr or lp) at the command line or out
of applications.

changes:
This release includes support for creating and removing printer
instances, printing banner pages, raw printing, typing values of
numerical options, and bug fixes.

name: mpatrol 1.3.4
posted on: Jan 29th 2001, 09:29 EST
license: LGPL
category: Development/Debugging

homepage: http://freshmeat.net/projects/mpatrol/homepage/
download: http://freshmeat.net/projects/mpatrol/download/

description:
mpatrol is a link library that attempts to diagnose run-time errors
that are caused by the wrong use of dynamically allocated memory,
including writing to free memory and memory leaks. Along with providing
a comprehensive and configurable log of all dynamic memory operations
(such as malloc(), operator new, etc.) that occurred during the
lifetime of a program, the mpatrol library performs extensive checking
to detect any misuse of dynamically allocated memory and has support
for both memory allocation profiling and tracing. A wide variety of
library settings can also be changed at run-time via an environment
variable, thus removing the need to recompile or relink in order to
change the library's behaviour.

changes:
The MP_MALLOC() family of functions for recording the type name and
type size of a memory allocation, the xmalloc() family of functions
which never return NULL, a new header file and library for use when
mpatrol is not being used, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD and SunOS support,
the ability to read symbols from a.out files, and the ability to build
mpatrol as a shared library on AIX as well as being able to read
symbols from shared libraries on AIX have all been added. The COFF and
XCOFF symbol readers now require the use of the libld object file
access library. The behaviour of the low memory handler has been
changed to automatically retry the memory allocation once the handler
has been called. mpatrol now stores information about the point of last
reallocation rather than the point of original allocation. The manual
pages are now also supplied in HTML format.

description:
clo++ is a command line option parser generator for C++. You describe
the options that your application takes in an XML file. From there,
clo++ generates a C++ header file with a class that can parse your

your command line. It also generates usage information and can handle
subcommands that take their own options. clo++ is itself written in C++

tcpstat reports certain network interface statistics (such as

information by either monitoring a specific interface, or by reading
previously-saved tcpdump data from a file. It has been tested under
Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and BSD/OS.

changes:
This is a maintenence release. A bug which prevented the "-s" option
from working properly has been fixed, reading files from stdin is
handled better, and tcpstat now compiles properly with the native HPUX
compiler.
