Stock Data

Various basic stock data. Updated daily.

CRM114 (at http://crm114.sourceforge.net/ ) related material. CRM114 is a generic language and filter tool, particularly suited for spam filtering, but can also be used to extract relevant information from other sources with high noise levels. (statistical filtering / Bayesian / Markovian / ...)

pavuk ( http://www.pavuk.org/ ) related material. PAVUK is a very sophisticated web spider, with some very nice configuration options. PAVUK goes on where wget et al throw the towel in the ring. ;-)

OpenSSL ( http://www.OpenSSL.org/ ) related material: MSVC2005 project files for building the DLLs and test apps. Full source code is included for rebuilding from source out of the box.

OpenEXR ( http://www.openexr.com/ ) related material: MSVC2005 project files for building the DLLs and test apps. Full source code is included for rebuilding from source out of the box.

My own, slightly patched version of the PCCTS (Perdue Compiler Construction Tool Set) original developed by Terence Parr and currently maintained by Tom Moog. The official release is available at www.polhode.com.

The collection includes cperf 2.1a (patched version of the original cperf, a perfect hash generator, very handy for generating fast lookup tables for static keyword lists) and a few examples of PCCTS usage, including one of my own).

Sources, documentation, Visual C project files and binaries are available for download.

Also available: btyacc+flex and iburg/lburg sources + win32 binaries.

Sources and binary of a tool you can use to dump Advanced Disk Catalog database files. I reverse engineered the database file format and now, finally, you can dump the complete database contents to .CSV file for easy import into other databases and tools.

CSStidy ( http://csstidy.sourceforge.net/ ) related material. CSSTIDY is a CSS optimizer / reformatting / cleanup tool. It is available as an executable file and as PHP script. Note that I only offer derived 32/64-bit Windows builds & MSVC project files plus source code here. For the original goods, please visit the SF site.

Contrasting most other CSS parsers, no regular expressions are used, allowing CSSTidy to offer full CSS2 support and a higher reliability.

If a high compression is not important for you, you can also use CSSTidy to format or fix CSS code for improved browser compatibility.

TRE (at http://www.laurikari.net/tre/ ) regex library copy/port. Used with CRM114, pavuk, and other projects.

HTMLtidy (at http://tidy.sourceforge.net/ ) library and 'tidy' tool copy/port. HTMLtidy can be used to process any HTML input and reformat and fix it to conform to modern standards, including XHTML and XML. HTMLtidy is particularly useful to produce W3C standards compliant web sites and (X)HTML output which can be machine-parsed, i.e. manipulated by other HTML/XML tools.

This patched version can be used as-is on any platform (UNIX, Windows); a second use is with the .NET HTMLtidyWrapper library available here.

A .NET (2.0) wrapper library which allows any .NET code to use the powerful features offered by HTMLtidy.

zlib (at http://www.zlib.net/ ) compression library copy/port. Used with OpenSSL, OpenEXR, pavuk, and other projects.

uncrustify ( http://uncrustify.sourceforge.net/ ) related material. UNCRUSTIFY is a code reformatting / cleanup tool, with some very nice configuration options.

For all those former GNU indent lovers (yes, I have been in love too, you know) and anyone running into (or, yucky you, joining!) the Coding Standard Enforcement Corps. Derelict individuals may consider using it both ways for a change: converting code towards your own preferences, thus speeding up your development by keeping off a large pack of Agony Sisters, and when done, converting it back again so the CSEC cannot throw their book at ya. ;-)

Microsoft Windows XCACLS related material: a patched version of the VBS script and an accompanying .BAT batchfile plus the Microsoft TAKEOWN.EXE tool - this version includes extra features, compared to the original, to ignore errors and force ownership for 'Administrators' using the TAKEOWN tool for those extremely stubborn cases where you can't seem to get proper access rights and ownership, e.g. when you are trying to clean up a hard disk retrieved from a destroyed system (which has, of course, different and - to this system - unknown ownership), which would otherwise cause 'Access Denied' and other error reports when you try to read, copy or delete content (files and/or directories).

Miscellaneous source code. An assortment of libraries and code blurbs for re-use.
