Mandrake 10.0 - Archiving/Other

bchunk	1.1.1	GPL	CD image format conversion from bin/cue to iso/cdr	This is a Unix/C rewrite of the fine BinChunker software for some non-Unix system. The non-Unix version of BinChunker can be found at http://home.ptd.net/~redline/binchunker.html . Thanks go to Bob Marietta <marietrg@SLU.EDU>, the author of BinChunker, for the extensive help, documentation and letting me look at his Pascal/Delphi source code! binchunker converts a CD image in a ".bin / .cue" format (sometimes ".raw / .cue") to a set of .iso and .cdr tracks. The bin/cue format is used by some non-Unix cd-writing software, but is not supported on most other cd-writing programs. The .iso track contains an ISO file system, which can be mounted through a loop device on Linux systems, or written on a CD-R using cdrecord. The .cdr tracks are in the native CD audio format. They can be either written on a CD-R using cdrecord -audio, or converted to WAV (or any other sound format for that matter) using sox.
gpgp	0.4	GPL	GUI shell for GnuPG	GnomePGP is a GNOME application - a GUI shell for GnuPG.
gtktalog	1.0.4	GPL	The Gnome disk catalog.	GTKtalog is a disk catalog, it means you can use it to create a really small database with images of files and folders of your CD-rom. So you can browse all your CD's very quickly, see contents of certain files (tar.gz, rpm files ...). You can give to each folder and file a category and a description. You can search for files in your database with filename, category, description or file information parameter, and find in which CD the file you are looking for is.
kover	2.9.1	GPL	WYSIWYG CD cover printer with CDDB support	Kover is an easy to use WYSIWYG CD cover printer with CDDB support.
nrg2iso	0.1	GPL	Convert Nero CD Images to ISO	Nrg2Iso is a linux utility for converting cd images generated by Nero Burning Rom to ISO format.
parchive2	0.3	GPL	Parchive: Parity Archive Volume Set	The idea behind this project is to provide a tool to apply the data- recovery capability concepts of RAID-like systems to the posting and recovery of multi-part archives on Usenet. With a parity archive, this tool, and all but one part of a multi-part set you can recover the missing part. The key to this mission is a clean file format specification which provides all the necessary capabilities for programs to easily verify and regenerate single missing parts out of a set of archives. We might just be able to make binary posting and downloading on Usenet a little easier. That's a pretty cool goal! par2 is complete rewrite of parchive with much additional advantages. Read all about them on this page: http://www.pbclements.co.uk/QuickPar/AboutPAR2.htm Tip of the day: alias par='par2 r *.((p\|P)??\|par2)'
rpmbuilder	0.5.1b	GPL	Graphical RPM packaging tool	Convert tar.gz files to RPM's with that nice GUI environment. This builds a basic RPM file from a generic .tar.gz source. It has support for a Buildroot, but has no support for some of the more advanced features in RPM like Requires:, or Provides:. This version comes with the Mandrake patch which is available in the original tarball. The Mandrake patch tries to bring it in line with Mandrake's RPM etiquette, for example, using Bzip2 sources. The original one is still offered in this RPM however, under the name of rpmbuilder.redhat.
wxChecksums	1.1.1	GPL	Computes and verifies SFV and MD5 checksums' files	wxChecksums calculates and verifies checksums. wxChecksums is able to read and write files in SFV and GNU md5sum format. wxChecksums is available for Linux and Windows 9x/ME/2000/XP.

“A disgruntled ex-employee who was in charge of making sure we were Microsoft compliant turned us in to the Business Software Alliance,” [Ernie] Ball says. [...] “We were raided by armed Federal Marshals and completely shut down for a day. Then you have to swear you won't touch any data other than what is minimally necessary to run your business,” he says. “I don’t believe you should treat a customer that way.” [...] The company ended up paying a [USD]$90,000 settlement.

Ball [...] decided at that moment his company would become “Microsoft free.” According to Ball, “Everyone said we couldn’t do it. It took us about one year” [to convert to] a Linux-based network and UNIX mainframe.

“I haven’t had to buy XP, and I haven’t had to buy new computers.”
