Enterprises Involved in Open Source

Arena has been created at the World Wide Web Consortium as a test bed browser for HTML3.0 and CSS1. Although it has not full implementation of CSS1 and HTML3.2, Arena continues to be a very useful tool for experimenting with and promoting style sheets. Now Yggdrasil Computing and the free software community are turning Arena into a full-featured free alternative to proprietary browsers."

BSTC is a systems integrator that exclusively uses Linux in solutions.

"The Mozilla browser will be used as the basis for our new super-browser. The starting point is excellent: the Mozilla browser will be the fastest Web browser ever, giving 100% support for a lot of cool things like HTML, Document Object Model and Cascading Style Sheets. As our current browser Multidoc Pro is also really, really fast, you can bet that DocZilla will be a real killer!"

Alphas are available for Linux and NT.

CodeWeavers brings alternate operating system market opportunities to Windows software vendors through software development and support services. The cornerstone of this effort is Twine, a combination of open source software libraries which enable developers to quickly and easily port Windows applications to run under Linux and other alternate operating systems. This allows Windows developers to take advantage of recent Linux opportunities.

Developing an easy to use desktop distribution of Linux. Supports the WINE project (www.winehq.com).

"This sourceware distribution lets you to "try before you buy". Included are all of the necessary sources from which to build the eCos development kit - both Linux and Windows versions. The Linux version has been tested under Red Hat Linux 5.1 and works under most Linux variants. The Windows version has been tested under Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, and also works under Windows 95 and Windows 98."

"In April 1999, the EGCS steering committee was appointed by the FSF as the official GNU maintainer for GCC. At that time GCC was renamed from the "GNU C Compiler" to the "GNU Compiler Collection". 

eSuite WorkPlace is a set of, fast, easy-to-use business tools for end users that are distributed from a central server.

WorkPlace includes a complete set of business productivity applets including spreadsheet, word processor, and presentation graphics. 

eSuite DevPack is a set of Java-based components that can be used as modular building blocks to quickly and easily create interactive and dynamic Web applications that are accessible via standard Web browsers. The DevPack includes the following components; calculating grid, rich text processor, chart library, screen show and data access utilities like SQL/JDBC, and CGI gateway; plus sample applications, utilities, and developer documentation.

"XFCom X servers are also released in binary only format with no source code. These X Servers have been released with full source code to the internal XFree86 development group, and are scheduled to be released as standard X Servers on the next regular release of XFree86. Some of these X Servers may be in BETA stage, while others may have been fully tested and verified under specific hardware. The documentation which is included with each X Server will explain the details for specific cases. "

"Precision Insight is developing a Direct Rendering Infrastructure for use with XFree86 and MESA. This infrastructure will bring 3D features and performance to the PC which were previously only available on expensive workstations. "

SAL is mirrored, worldwide!

Unusually thorough & up-to-date list of office, word processing, desktop publishing, spreadsheet, and database systems software for Linux. The name is, therefore, quite misleading.

Our flagship product is Qt, the multi-platform, C++ Graphical User Interfaces toolkit. Qt enables you to build professional, efficient,

portable and maintainable GUI applications quickly and easily." 

"The Free Edition is the Qt for Unix/X11 library, licensed for development of free/Open Source software. It includes the complete source code. It is released under the QPL Open Source license."

"Troll Tech was founded in 1994. The core team of designers at Troll Tech started developing Qt in 1992, and since then Qt has steadily expanded and improved. The first commercial version of Qt was in 1995. Since then, Troll Tech has experienced rapid growth, and Qt is currently used in hundreds of successful software development projects world wide. "

Whistle has been purchased by IBM (www.ibm.com).

Whistle products are sold by VARs, distributors and ISPs, worldwide.

"This is principally a site for DEVELOPERS and not for USERS looking to fix their hard disks. Certainly some applications listed here can help users recover things, repair partition tables for example, but those programs generally require much patience and understanding."

"There are only a few file system drivers and a general disk I/O library for WINDOWS -- there are no WINDOWS/FAT32 applications here. Most of the stuff indexed here is for DOS and Linux."

"The first three components have been released for Linux as Beta packages. They have been developed and tested on a LAN running six standard RedHat 5.0 hosts (PII, 96MB RAM, 100Mb/s Ethernet). The plan is to remove the beta label and to release a Solaris version real soon. Stay tuned for an NT version."

"All Eddie configuration is done using Apache style configuration files and a set of O&M commands. 

"Eddie has been written using Erlang, a functional language developed by Ericsson. Erlang itself has recently been released

as Open Source. "

FreeType is a library. It is not a font server for your favorite platform, even though it was designed to be used in many of them. Its purpose is simply to open and manage font files, as well as load, hint and render individual glyphs efficiently. You can also see it as a "TrueType driver" for a higher-level library, though rendering text with it is easy, as demonstrated by the test programs.

The BIND DNS Server is used on the vast majority of name serving machines on the Internet, providing a robust and stable architecture on top of which an organization's naming architecture can be built. The resolver library included in the BIND distribution provides the standard APIs for translation between domain names and Internet addresses and is intended to be linked with applications requiring name service. 

These tools all use a modular API which is designed to be sufficiently general that it can easily be made to work on POSIX-compliant operating systems and also non-POSIX systems like Windows NT and MacOS. Server, client and relay agent are provided both as reference implementations of the protocol and as working, fully-featured sample implementations. Both the client and the server provide functionality that, while not strictly required by the protocol, is very useful in practice. The DHCP server also makes allowances for non-compliant clients which one might still like to support.

JitterBug operates by receiving bug reports via email or a web form. Authenticated users can then reply to the message, move it between different categories or add notes to it. In some ways JitterBug is like a communal web based email system.

SSL – Secure Socket Layer

Joint effort between AT&T Labs-Research, Distributed Multimedia Computing Laboratory (University of Texas) and the

Laboratory for Advanced System Software (University of Massachusetts).

The TeX program itself is a macro compiler. The most popular such macro set is LaTeX. This tool provides several predefined documentclasses (book, journal, report) with extensive sectioning and cross-referencing capabilities, and auxiliary tools for such processes as bibliography and index creation. Originally created by Leslie Lamport, LaTeX is now maintained by a small group of volunteers headed by Frank Mittelbach and Chris Rowley

Originally based on the CMU (www.cmu.edu) SNMP implementation, but has been greatly enhanced, ported, fixed, made easier to use, and therefore barely resembles CMU’s package.

"The UNIX versus NT Organization is dedicated to setting the facts straight about the various commercial and Open Source UNIX operating systems as they relate to Microsoft Windows NT. The organization is neither a legal entity, nor does it engage in profit generating activities. Although the large commercial vendors of UNIX hardware and software like Digital, IBM, Hewlett Packard, Silicon Graphics, Sun Microsystems, etc. may benefit from our activities, we do not solicit their financial support, nor have they ever offered any support."

"Some Microsoft/NT enthusiasts may view this organization as an anti-Microsoft movement. This would be a poor description of what we are about. The Kirch Paper, currently the organization's core article, does deliver some serious blows to NT specifically, but it is ultimately Microsoft's responsibility for any flaws or defects in the design of their own operating system, not the author's. Certainly a company the size of Microsoft with its financial assets should be capable of competing with software written by volunteers, yet it is obviously having difficulties in this area. "
