~4Dgifts/toolbox/bin README
This subtree contains binary tools deemed useful for inclusion into the
Developer Toolbox. For various reasons, the source code for these apps
are not available. Thus, they are included here as binaries only.
`!' indicates new or updated as of version 4.2
! CDmastering - now contains mkisofs, a binary capable of creating an
ISO-9660 filesystem image.
Also contains mkdisc source as well as scripts and
binaries required to burn an SGI-style CD-ROM. The
scripts do error checking and can handle sa files
(putting sashes on the volume header, etc.). The
scripts work with:
The Sony CDW-E1/W1 CD Encoding/Writing units.
The Sony CDW-900E CD Recroding unit.
No other CD writing units are supported. You will also
need write-once CD-ROMs. The binaries and scripts allow
you to put an EFS filesystem onto a CD. EFS is the
standard SGI disk format and is only readable on an SGI
machine using a standard CD-ROM unit (reader).
fsn - a 3D file system navigator in cyberspace, allowing a
user to "fly through" a 3D representation of a file
system. As of v3.3, fsn now can digest relative paths.
Hence with this version it already has a .FSN_.._ data-
base file in this directory that it will read when
fsn.sh is run. Use fsn as an alternative to visually
scanning the Toolbox tree.
games - contains binaries + doc + data files (in ./.data) for
various grafix[/audio] games. Regretably, for legal
reasons, the source for blackbox, pods, and sb is not
available for distribution. As Dick the Butcher says
to Jack Cade in the second part of Shakespeare's
Henry VI (2.4.70), "The first thing we do, let's kill
all the lawyers."
inout/backat - a groupware program which establishes an In/Out board
on each person's machine on a local network enabling
each person in a work group to keep other interested
parties advised of their comings and goings.
oneko - great cat|dog chases the mouse|bone around the screen.
setfb - 5.1 utility sets the effective frame buffer depth to 8
or 24 bitplanes. setfb is intended for use by
developers wishing to test their applications in an
8-bit system, when what they have is a 24-bit system.
NOTE: only usable with Indigo^2 XL and Indy machines.
tiepoint - demos the use of Control or Tie points to determine
the coefficients of a polynomial warping function.
zip - zip has become defunct in Irix 5.1. It has been
"absorbed" into jot. See the zipR.I.P. file for more
details.
