(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Dear Puppians,

Here are 10 utilities I compiled that were on Luigi Auriemma's website http://aluigi.altervista.org/mytoolz.htm. There is a gui tool that takes a command line prog - such as cat or grep - figures out what the command line options might be and lets you run it as a gui while capturing the input in a window (which you can save).

The other utilities are a mini proxy server, a lan file transfer program, a string dump/replace for executable files, a wget-type downloader, a host checker, a dump-to-c-functions for executables, an ascii2binary converter, a remote ftp server file indexer that can produce html, and a console interface for freelang.net dictionaries.

I have included a screenshot, the binaries (which could be copied to /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin) and sources with some brief compilation instructions. There are readme files in both the sources and bin archives.

Have fun...

With kind regards,
vovchik

PS. As an afterthought, I added an archive containing the M$ version of lanfile, in the event that people have to transfer files between Linux and Windows.

Oh yeah Luigi Auriemma is a true Genius!

I compiled sometimes ago his

very useful to recovery passwords from encrypted gftp bookmarks if you have lost and you have not a plain text copy somewhere

Dear Dingo,

I agree. Luigi's stuff is out of this world! And so is Peter van Eerten's (http://www.basic-converter.org/): a structured Basic compiler (with GTK API) in bash and gtk-server.

With kind regards,

Hello vovchik

I think BarryK is including BaCon on the devx in Quirky, there was a mention on his blog.

Nice utilities

Cheers

Dear Puppians,

Lanfile works very nicely. I set up on the receiving machine (which has IP 192.168.2.2) and set up on the sending machine. It worked. You can replace vlc.txt with a directory and it will send the dir and all the files in it.

The ftp file dir organizer/html maker also works very nicely: I think we should think about gtkdialog guis for these little gems from Luigi.

With kind regards,
vovchik
