- ADAPTIVE Communication Environment (ACE) - C++ IPC wrappers
-
- This release contains contains the source code, documentation, and example
- test drivers for a number of C++ wrapper libraries and higher- level
- distributed application frameworks developed as part of the ADAPTIVE
- project at the University of Calfornia, Irvine.
-
- The C++ wrappers encapsulate many of the user-level BSD and System V
- Release 4 IPC facilities such as sockets, TLI, select and poll, named
- pipes and STREAM pipes, the mmap family of memory-mapped file commands,
- System V IPC (i.e., shared memory, semaphores, message queues), and
- explicit dynamic linking (e.g., dlopen/dlsym/dlclose) using type-secure,
- object-oriented interfaces.
-
- The higher-level distributed application frameworks integrate and enhance
- the lower-level C++ wrappers to support the configuration of concurrent
- network daemons composed of monolithic and/or stackable services
-
- A relatively complete set of documentation and extensive examples are
- included in the release. A mailing list is available for discussing bug
- fixes, enhancements, and porting issues regarding ACE. Please send mail to
- ace-users-request@ics.uci.edu if you'd like to become part of the mailing
- list.

- Aisearch - a package to make writing problem solving programs easier.
-
- Offers the programmer a set of search algorithms that may be used to solve
- all kind of different problems. The following search algorithms have been
- implemented:
- - depth-first tree and graph search
- - breadth-first tree and graph search
- - uniform-cost tree and graph search
- - best-first search
- - bidirectional depth-first tree and graph search
- - bidirectional breadth-first tree and graph search
- - AND/OR depth tree search
- - AND/OR breadth tree search.
-
- Although this package is meant as a tool for developing problem solving
- software it is not meant exclusively for programmers that are familiar
- with the concept of problem representation and search techniques. The
- document accompanying this package first describes (though condensed) the
- theory of problem solving in AI and next explains how the search class
- library must be used. Furthermore, as the source code is richly commented
- and as also some demo programs are included the package should also prove
- useful to people that want to get acquainted with the subject.

- Amulet - User Interface Development Environment
-
- AMULET is a user interface development environment in C++. Code written
- using Amulet will work with little or no changes on all platforms.
-
- More than just another free "virtual toolkit," Amulet includes many
- features specifically designed to make the creation of highly-interactive,
- graphical, direct manipulation user interfaces significantly easier.
- Based on a proven earlier system, called Garnet, that was in wide use in
- the Lisp community, Amulet adds a number of important innovations and
- refinements.
-
- Important features of Amulet include:
- - a dynamic, prototype-instance object system that makes prototyping
- easier
- - automatic constraint solving integrated with the object system
- - a "structured-graphics" model (also called a "display list") that
- handles automatic refresh of objects when the change
- - a high-level input model that makes it easy to add behaviors to
- objects and also supports undo and help for operations
- - a full set of flexible widgets implemented using the Amulet
- intrinsics, so you can easily experiment with your own widgets; and
- high-level interactive debugging tools. Widgets include:buttons, check
- boxes, radio buttons, menus, menu bars (pull-down menus), scroll bars,
- scrolling windows, and text input fields.
-
- Amulet comes with complete documentation including a tutorial.

- Arjuna - For writing fault-tolerant (distributed) applications
-
- Arjuna provides a set of tools (C++ classes and libraries) for writing
- fault-tolerant distributed applications using persistent objects, atomic
- actions, and replication. Included in the system is a C++ stub generator
- (and associated RPC mechanism) which takes a C++ class definition for an
- object and generates client and server stub code. Using these stub classes
- occurs in a relatively transparent manner: the differences between a local
- and distributed application are typically only a single line.
-
- The system has been ported to a wide range of architectures and C++
- compilers, both by the authors and other users, and has been in use for
- several years.
-
- A comprehensive manual is available with the distribution.

- BRL10 - Binary Relations Library for C/C++
-
- Binary relations are more directly based on semantic
- concepts rather than on recordlike structures as traditional
- (relational, hierarchies, networks, object-oriented) models are.
-
- Binary Relations tend to be more functionally complete
- in their information processing capability, and more precise in
- their semantic modelling.
-
- The Binary Relations Approach was implemented in Binary
- Relations Library for C/C++. BRL is not a full featured DBMS.
- It does not support all ideas of the Binary Relations Approach.
- BRL is however a small, fast and reliable engine.
-
- BRL provides basic tools for using binary relations in C and C++
- programs.

- CalcPlus - Interpreter of procedural language
-
- The CalcPlus library is the C++ class library which provides an ability to
- use your own programming language built into C++ project. Any algorithm
- or any constant needed by application can be carried out into the special
- file, when process comes to the key point, it calls function or procedure
- stored in the text file. Interpreter runs the function and process
- returns back to C++ code. Library contains the interpreter which
- understands simple nameless procedural language. Bi-directional
- communication between C++ and the code for interpreter available.
-
- Version of the language that comes with the library allows to use
- functions, procedures, blocks, preprocessor, global and local variables
- and constants, if/for/while statements. Each variable can have value of
- type: nil, bool, long, float, string, date. Type definitions and arrays
- are allowed. Functions and procedures may be recursive. New functions
- written in C++ may be easily added to the language. Syntax of the
- language can be modified by changing YACC rules. Interpreter is fast
- enough and may be helpful for many tasks.
-
- Platform independent, YACC required.

- CB++ - CommonBase Database Access Library for C/C++
-
- This library was written in 1989 as a basis for storing C++ objects in a
- relational database. The development of such a system was stopped in 1990
- because of problems with the MS-DOS environment used in this time. My
- involvement in various user interface projects here in the institute and
- otherwhere made it sleep until last week.
-
- Okay, here is it. It is only the database access layer of the projected
- object storage system but it has some useful features which are provided
- by commercial tools out there:
- - Builds on the C language interface of a database, there is no need for
- a precompiler (like embedded SQL - which is totally unusable in
- combination with C++, at least it was three years ago...)
- - Very simple to use. Unlike the native C interfaces of the databases it
- is as simple as embedded SQL or some 4th generation languages.
- - Makes applications portable among different SQL databases. The library
- itself is relatively easy to port as the database vendor specific code
-
- Note - Scott R. Chilcote" (scotty@nando.net) reports he can only find the
- a README file at the site given, and his attempts to mail the author's
- address given therein fail. (david_r@netvision.net.il) reports he
- couldnt find anything at the ftp site.

- CDBFile - C++ library to handle dBASE III files
-
- CDBFile is a C++ object-oriented package for programmers who need to
- manipulate dBASE III files in their programs. It enables you to perform
- many operations on an existing DBF file: reading/writing to it,
- accessing
- its values, sorting the records, adding/deleting records, etc. It comes
- with full text and postscript documentation, and commented source code.
- A demonstration program, TestDBF, shows the various possibilities of the
- CDBFile library, and its source file, testdbf.cpp, demonstrates how to
- implement CDBFile within a program. CDBFile was designed to be as
- portable as possible: you should be able to compile it under "as is" any
- DOS/Windows C++ compiler; porting it to Un*x/Linux should also require
- little effort.
-
- Since CDBFile is distributed under the GNU Public License for libraries,
- I hope that programmers will like it and suggest or implement enhance-
- ments and additional features to that piece of software.

- CIDLib - C++ framework for Windows NT 4.0 and Visual C++ 5.0
-
- I am proud (and frankly exhausted :-) to announce the newest release of
- the CIDLib Class Libraries for C++. CIDLib is a fully object oriented
- C++ framework for Windows NT 4.0 (or higher) and Visual C++ 5.0 (or
- higher.)
-
- This beta release (Version 0.500) does not contain the original GUI and
- graphics oriented classes because they have not been fully ported to
- NT yet. However, since the product has so much to offer for backend
- developers without the GUI layers, I've decided to go ahead and do this
- beta release in order to get feedback from users.
-
- Even in this 'limited' form CIDLib provides just short of 175 public
- classes (and of course more that you don't see.) When the graphics and
- GUI layers are released in the next version, the class count will be
- closer to 250.
-
- This release provides these broad categories of functionality:
- - Core classes: Strings, memory buffers (heap, system, and shared),
- areas (floating point and integral coordinate), points, sizes, colors.
- - Collections: Bags, sorted bags, deques, queues, stacks, linked
- lists, hash maps, hash sets, object arrays, fundamental arrays.
- - File System Support: Directory iteration, general file system
- maintenance, find buffers, path strings, binary files, text files,
- volume information.
- - Streams: File, string, and memory streams for text and binary
- operations, powerful text stream parser. Extensible data sink/source
- framework. Console text stream derivative that supports command line
- recall and editing. Support for ASCII and UNICode text formats.
- - Advanced RTTI: Polymorphic streaming, dynamic object creation,

- many common operations such as bit field manipulation, min/max,
- pointer manipulation, array sizing, enumeration magic, UNICode buffer
- manipuluation, etc...
- - Documentation: Class and member docs are online and available via
- my home page. Offline docs are in MS Word 6.0 format. The online docs
- fully cover all of the released classes, though they are spotty on
- coverage of exceptions thrown right now. Offline docs are in progress
- but contain a substantial amount of informaton.
- - Full Source Code. The full source code is included so you can modify
- the system for your own needs if desired and debug fully.
-
- CIDLib is a freeware product at this time and you can freely use it for
- personal, experimental, or in house development, however it is a beta
- product still. It cannot be redistributed in any modified form at this
- time. You can, of course, pass along the unmodified Zip file to anyone
- you feel would be interested in evaluating this product. None of the
- source code can be extracted and used in another product, as it is my
- intellectual property.
-
- The eventual GA product will likely be a shareware product, though it
- will remain free for anyone who just wants to play with it at home for
- personal use. It will have a very reasonable licensing agreement for
- commercial or shareware use.

- FFTPACK++ - C++ version of FFTPACK
-
- FFT_Pack is a C++ wrapper for FFTPACK complex routines using LAPACK++
- Matrix and Vector classes. FFTPACK routines were converted to C using f2c
- and also modified to use double precision complex using -r8 to f2c.
-
- Most of this code was lifted directly from GNU OCTAVE v1.1.0, hence the
- copyright notice at the top.
-
- The forward FFT takes you to freq domain (ala direction == -1), and
- backward the other way.
-
- Passing LaVectorComplex/Double or LaGenMatComplex/Double with one
- dimension set to 1 will implicitly perform 1D FFT on the data.
-
- The members of the FFT_Pack class are declared static, since they really
- need no private member storage. There are two types of transform routines:
- ones that return a new complex matrix and the ones that change the matrix
- in place.

- GINA++ - An O-O application framework for C++, X11R5, and OSF/Motif
-
- GINA++ (The Generic INteractive Application for C++) is an object-
- oriented application framework that facilitates the development of
- applications with a graphical user interface. It is written in C++ and
- uses OSF/Motif and X for the user interface parts. GINA++ comes as a
- library of C++ classes, 10 small to medium demo applications, and it is
- fully documented.
-
- Components of GINA++ are:
- - A C++ encapsulation of OSF/Motif providing easy-to-use mechanisms for
- deriving new widget classes completely in C++
- - Support for object-oriented graphics (rectangles, arrows, circle,
- etc)
- - An unlimited undo/redo history mechanism
- - supporting classes for data structures (list, arrays, etc), run-time
- type information, and a notification mechanism.
-
- The classes of GINA++ constitute an executable program - the generic
- application - which possesses the basic functionality and the user
- interface components common to all interactive graphical applications, but
- lacks any application-specific behavior. The predefined functionality and
- behavior is inherited by deriving subclasses from the existing GINA++
- classes. Application specific behavior is implemented by adding new
- classes and member functions. Differences to the standard application are
- coded by refining virtual member functions inherited from GINA++.

- HugeCalc - Arbitrary accuracy large integer calculations
-
- HugeCalc is a package for performing long integer calculations with
- up to 300 digits of accuracy. The package allows C++ programmers to
- define objects of type HugeInt and use them just like ordinary
- integers to perform addition, subtraction and multiplication
- operations. Most of the ordinary mathematical operators are supported
- in the ordinary fashion. Includes object modules for Borland C++,
- example programs and complete documentation. Shareware version
- contains object modules for tiny, small and medium memory models only.

- InterViews - GUI class library developed by Stanford University
-
- Make sure you get v3.1 or later. This library contains excellent examples
- of multiple inheritance used profitably. I understand that InterViews
- development will not continue past the current version; author Mark Linton
- is concentrating his efforts on the X Consortium Fresco project, which
- should show up in X11R6.

- LEDA, - A Library of Efficient Data Types and Algorithms
-
- Provides basic data-types like lists, stacks, queues, trees, sets,
- partitions, priority queues and a few others. These are parameterizable
- classes, you may add your own datatype and have a priority queue ... An
- important datatype is a graph, these are also parameterizable and there
- are useful algorithms for them like shortest path, transitive closure,
- matching, maximum flow, spanning tree and others, we have implemented a
- few algorithms for dealing with perfect graphs, but these ar not part of
- the standard library. The latest part deals with computational geometry.
-
- It can be used with C++ compilers which understand templates

- Lily (LIsp LibrarY) - Gives C++ programmers the capability to write LISP-style code
-
- I think Lily will be useful in academia for instructors who want to
- teach artificial intelligence techniques with C++. The garbage collection
- mechanism employed by Lily is slow which will make it unattractive for
- commercial use.
-
- Documentation is minimal. The "Lily User's Guide" (in file lily.txt)
- provides a good overview of the architecture of Lily -- the document is
- unfinished. All of the example programs are from Winston's book "LISP
- Second Edition" so you will be much better off if you have a copy.
- Steele's "Common LISP" describes the behavior of the LISP functions.

- LinAlg.shar - basic linear algebra classes and applications
-
- basic linear algebra classes and applications (SVD, interpolation,
- multivariate optimization)
-
- The package contains declarations of Matrix, Vector, subMatrix over the
- real domain, and *efficient* and fool-proof implementations of level 1 & 2
- BLAS (element-wise operations + various multiplications), transpositions
- and determinant evaluation/inversion. There are operations on a single
- row/col/diagonal of a matrix.
-
- The "new style" of returning matrices (via LazyMatrix) and filling them
- out.
-
- New in the Jan 1996 version: extended to include singular value
- decomposition (SVD) and its applications to (a regularized) solution of
- simultaneous linear equations (with possibly rectangular matrices) and
- (pseudo)matrix inverse.
-
- This version of LinAlg.shar also includes Aitken-Lagrange interpolation
- over the table of uniform or arbitrary mesh, and a Hook-Jeevse local
- multidimensional minimizer, formerly of hl_vector.shar package.
-
- Matrix/Vector/etc classes are expanded with new methods.
-
- More attention to Matrix/Vector promises.
-
- The code is made cross-platform compatible (compiles both under UNIX and
- on a Mac).
-
- See LinAlg.h for the complete list of classes and functions, and
- vmatrix.cc, vvector.cc, etc. test drivers as to how the features can be
- used. See README for hints.

- This public domain portable C++ library is the bas - MozillaV3 CGI C++ Library
-
- This public domain portable C++ library is the basis of a CGI. It contains
- all external aspects that should be required by a CGI script, from
- options to hash containers. It provides one minute implementation of
- hours of work and allows optimal performance and ease of use. Writing a
- guestbook using this library which can be used by as many people as wanted
- is a question of minutes! This Mozilla-V3 library is in a state of
- providing all internal structures to write virtually any kind of html
- output CGI.
-
- This library was written for an HTML based forum (called aGNeS) that is
- successfully running for hundreds of users all over the world. It is open
- for all suggestions and modifications.
