This subtree contains public domain/shareware/copyleft software obtained largely from ftp sites on the internet which has been ported to the IRIS. It is made available to all software developers in the Silicon Graphics Developer Program in the hope that it will prove useful.

With the release of the v6.0 DT, we have significantly expanded our "public" offerings. We are very pleased to have both releases of Silicon Graphics Freeware on board, as well as some other local copies of software from the net. We also have begun to add web links, where they have been located, to software that used to be included here until such time as we are able to re-incorporate these packages with mirrored copies on/in the Toolbox itself.

       Disclaimer:  SGI does not explicitly endorse any of the
                    contributed software included here.

We have not been able to perform adequate run-time testing of this software on Irix 5, but have included it since everything here does successfully compile on Irix 5.3. If you find/fix any problems encountered during run-time, please let us know via {DTjanitor@sgi.com, 415/933-{3556,1934}, fax: 415/967-6239}.

As always, if you encounter problems building libraries/apps/etc., remember, where an Imakefile(s) exists, backup and start over with:

xmkmf
make Makefile(s)
make depend
make

• Chaos, Chaotic Music Generator, version 1.0
  Chaos was originally intended as a pitch tracking midi improvisor which would listen to incoming pitches on the microphone port and play corresponding notes on a midi device. Due to the often bizarre timberal qualities of the input, poor calibration of the tracking algorithms and the fact that I didn't have a microphone good enough not to pick up the output of the program through the nearby speakers, Chaos emerged.

• figlet, version 2.1.1
  Figlet is a program for making large letters out of ordinary text

xd, version 1

the hexidecimal dump and load program.
xd dumps files as hex bytes, optionally showing the same bytes as ISO characters, with non-printing chars (defined according to ISO 8859/1 Latin-1) rendered as periods. File addresses are shown as hex numbers without leading zeroes.

Links to Software Not Yet Restored on the DT

• agrep:
  (http://sunsite.mff.cuni.cz/ftp/MIRRORS/cs.arizona.edu/agrep)
  a tool for fast text searching allowing errors. agrep is similar to egrep (or grep or fgrep), but it is much more general (and usually faster).
  1/96: latest version is 2.04

• Free Widget Foundation (FWF) Home Page:
  (http://freya.let.rug.nl/FWF/)
  FWF is "an international, volunteer effort to collect freely-redistributable graphical user-interface modules (widgets) for the X Window System. Over time, we have built a library of widgets ranging from simple to complex, and serving a wide range of applications.
  "Unlike conventional widget sets, the FWF library is not intended to be a standalone replacement toolkit, though the project may be evolving in that direction. Currently, the FWF library is better viewed as a `repository' of individually donated widgets."
  1/96: latest version appears to be 3.9

• ImageMagick -- X11 Image Processing and Display Package:
  (http://www.wizards.dupont.com/cristy/ImageMagick.html)
  "a package for display and interactive manipulation of images for the X Window System. It is written in C and interfaces to the X library, and therefore does not require any proprietary toolkit in order to compile."
  1/96: latest version is 3.7.1

• SciAn Home Page:
  (http://www.scri.fsu.edu/~lyons/scian/)
  "SciAn is a scientific visualization and animation package for Silicon Graphics workstations and IBM RS/6000 workstations with the GL option."
  SciAn is primarily intended to do 3-D visualizations of data in an interactive environment with the ability to generate animations using frame-accurate video recording devices.

• Vis5D Home Page:
  (http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~billh/vis5d.html)
  a system for interactive visualization of large 5-D gridded data sets such as those made by numeric weather models. One can make isosurfaces, contour line slices, colored slices, etc of data in a 3-D grid then rotate and animate the image in real time. There's also a feature for wind/trajectory tracing, a way to make text anotations for publications, etc. High-end SGI and Kubota workstations can also perform volume visualization.
  1/96: latest version is 4.1
