bbvi (vi stripped from busybox)

In 2003, Stefan Koerner stripped vi from busybox-0.52 and called it virus - vi resembling utility skeleton.
But it is unmaintained since then, so I do that again and called it "bbvi".
Hopefully I will do it every busybox minor number changes, and sync bbvi version to busybox version.

breakcpi for win32/linux

I found the there is no win32 or linux version of cpi2fnt or breakcpi, and there is no tool in psftools for extracting FNT raw font from CPI files.
I hacked READCPI(internet archive link) to make it work in win32 and linux.

svn repository: https://github.com/roytam1/rtoss/tree/master/breakcpi/
win32 binary + source: breakcpi.zip

for converting raw binary fonts to BDF fonts, please try my font2bdf-tools. (No manual provided, please read php source for usage)

Historic Web browser reborn trial: midasWWW, violaWWW

Thanks www.mmmt.ru ftp search engine, I got midasWWW-2.1 and violaWWW 3.3(viola-3.3) from ftp archives.

progress:
violaWWW, the first browser having scripting and style sheet capabilities. latest version is 3.3.

Hacks: using rs6000 config and follow gcc error messages to fix.
Status: double free/pointer corrupt, munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer when exit, HTFWriter_put_character segfaults when connecting Google, almost no online capability.

Screen shot:
viola (pure Xlib version):


vw (viola motif version):


midasWWW, an early browser which runs in VMX system.

Hacks: follow gcc error messages to fix.
Status:
- It builds, and it dies in startup with buffer overflow of libMrm(MrmOpenHierarchy-->Urm__OpenHierarchy-->UrmIdbOpenFileRead-->Idb__HDR_GetHeader-->__strcpy_chk) when reading /usr/local/lib/midas.uid. libmotif uil generates midas.uid and midaswww.uid correctly.
- (18/12/2009 12:00 GMT+8) open motif 2.2.3-4 in utuntu 9.10 seems buggy and I had to rebuilt open motif 2.3.2 from sources with "--enable-xft --enable-jpeg --enable-png", but Midas only popups "Error Dialog Label" and stalls.

P.S.: I created a project site of early Web browser reborn in Google Code:
http://code.google.com/p/earlybrowserreborn/

ErwisE: first X11 World Wide Web browser

My fixed source works in ubuntu 9.10.
You can download here:
erwise-0.1-src.tar.gz

For playing it in ubuntu 9.10 wihout compiling yourself, you can greb the prebuilt checkinstall-generated deb package here:
erwise_0.1-1_i386.deb

Screenshot:


P.S.: I created deb package of Mosaic-CK too, and Cameron had it mirrored to his site.

ldd package finder (APT)

I wrote a bash shell script for getting package names from ldd output.
apt-file, awk, basename, egrep, sort, uniq are needed.
it will list lib64 packages if arg2 = 64. e.g.:

# ./lddpkgs.sh /bin/bash 64

an example for using in checkinstall:

# checkinstall --requires=`lddpkgs.sh src/mysoft|xargs|sed -e 's/ /,/g'` (...)

for executable with multiple libraries, you can append all libraries' lddpkgs.sh output to one file, sort and uniq that file and you will get the package dependency of those binaries.

one line is a bit long so please ensure you selected all things between Start of File and End Of File.
-Start of File-

#!/bin/bash

if [ "$2" = "64" ];then

  EGR='libc|libdl|dbg'

else

  EGR='libc|libdl|dbg|lib64'

fi



ldd $1|awk '{tmp ="basename "$1; tmp|getline bnso;system("apt-file find "bnso);close(tmp)}'|egrep -v $EGR|awk -F':' '{print $1}'|sort|uniq
